Hi

I'm developing a game in Excel.

I have two hidden buttons for "yes" or "no" answers which become visible when a shape is clicked.

However, when they do become .visible=msotrue they don't work.
Yet if I click another command button that has always been visible, they both become active again.

It's like they need a programmatic kick to start after being shown - am I missing somerhing?

Thanks in advance.

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
Assuming your using Activex Command buttons.

When I put these two scripts in a shape they work for me.
And the button performs like planned when clicked on after being made visible.

Code:
Sub Hide_Me()
'Modified  11/10/2018  11:27:19 PM  EST
ActiveSheet.CommandButton1.Visible = False
End Sub
Sub Unhide_Me()
'Modified  11/10/2018  11:27:19 PM  EST
ActiveSheet.CommandButton1.Visible = True
End Sub

If you want to Toggle the Command Button Visible Not Visible
Using only one script:
Try this:

Code:
Sub Toggle_Me()
'Modified  11/10/2018  11:35:19 PM  EST
ActiveSheet.CommandButton1.Visible = Not ActiveSheet.CommandButton1.Visible
End Sub
