Make a CommandBar button visible/hidden?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   This must sound like an easy thing to do, but I can't see to find how to do it.
If I have already setup my buttons on a toolbar or in a menu on the form load, how do I access a particular button to change it's attributes like visibility from another function or event? 
XS_BAR_TOOL = 100
XS_BTN_PRINT = 2000
If I have a button (XS_BTN_PRINT) on a toolbar (XS_BAR_TOOL), how do I make it invisible? I am not sure how to select the actual object (without referring to .Item(index) ).
Thanks
Juzzy

	You can change Visible proprety in Update event handler.

	What does this mean? This is an event! I want to change the visibility based on some event outside Commandbars, eg like a normal button. How do I get access to another Control? Do I have to use the .Find method first? Surely there is a way of accessing it directly without using the Index object?

	Hello, You can use .Find method, but better add global variable and call Control.Visible = gNeedToHide in UpdateHandler. When you need to change the state just change this variable gNeedToHide = not gNeedToHide
