Hello fellow developers! Unfortunately, I'm stuck again.

As you know, I've been working on a project, and I had the reload/stop button combined using actions. So here's my question:

Is there anyway I can put a "Go" button in with the three of those, and have it only appear when the text in the combo box I'm using is not the Web browser control's location URL and to have it switch back to reload when the text is the same as the location URL? I'm assuming this has something to do with the commandbars_update() function but I'm not entirely sure.

If there isn't a way to work that out, I'll settle with just being able to have the separate go button, and have it only appear and disappear under the same circumstances. Is there anyway I could possibly pull either of these off? If so, then how? Some code or a sample project would be absolutely great.

Thanks in advance everyone!

Hi,

I believe from reading your post you want to hide/show a button on a CommandBar Toolbar at runtime?

To do this, use the following code:


    Dim Control As XtremeCommandBars.CommandBarButton
    Set Control = CommandBars.FindControl(, ID_FILE_OPEN) ' Change ID_FILE_OPEN to be the ID of your button.
    Control.Visible = Not Control.Visible  ' Change "Not Control.Visible" to suit your needs

I have tested this in the Samples provided by CJ and it works fine.

As an alternative to hiding/showing buttons, you could have this as a UserControl to behave in this way, then just add that to the CommandBar?
