Toggle Button to Change Font/fill color/ border color in rows

[mrdanielatkins]

Hello,

I'll start by saying I'm a noob when it comes to VBA coding in excel, but I'm trying to learn. Hoping you guys could help me code a toggle button. When the button is depressed I would like the font, fill color, and border to be white in rows 23-35, on that worksheert, so it is not visible when the document is printed. When the toggle is not pressed I'd like for it to go back to how it was.

I appreciate any help you can provide.

Thanks,

Would simply hiding those rows be ok?

Unfortunately, I can't do that. I have another button built into the worksheet with that function, so I think I could manage that code. The .font is throwing me off on this one.

How about

Private Sub ToggleButton1_Click()
With Range("23:35")
   .Font.Color = IIf(Me.ToggleButton1, 16777215, [COLOR=#ff0000]1[/COLOR])
   .Interior.Color = IIf(Me.ToggleButton1, 16777215, [COLOR=#ff0000]45678[/COLOR])
   .Borders.Color = IIf(Me.ToggleButton1, 16777215, [COLOR=#ff0000]1[/COLOR])
End With
End Sub

you'll need to change the values in red to what ever colour you need

Great! That worked in changing the colors when the button is clicked, when I unclick, however, everything defaults back to black. Is there additional code I can add to return things back to the way they were? I have a few different colors in these cells ATM.

I have a few different colors in these cells ATM.

Do you mean that the font/fill/border colours vary from cell to cell?
Or is it that the text is always the same colour, but different to the border colour?

See Screen grab Below. I'm trying to make that estimating table, in those rows disappear with the click of a button, however in most instances it can stay on the sheet. The rows need to remain as this is going to be a locked down workbook that needs to be relatively dummy-proof, and is already formatted to print correctly. I'm open to other suggestions if there is a better way to approach this.

The simplest way would be to hide those rows, so that they don't print. But I don't know how that would affect your current setup.
The code for which would be

Private Sub ToggleButton1_Click()
   ActiveSheet.Protect "password", userinterfaceonly:=True
   Rows("23:35").Hidden = Me.ToggleButton1
End Sub

I'm going to make this work. Thanks for the help.
