Default Custom button behaviour (activation and deactivation)

I'm analyzing using the Watch Window and when I assing the
msoButtonDown to the ...ActionControl.State property the value does
not change, and the msoButtonUp value remains. However, if other
properties like the Caption does change.

Do you know if this property could be locked for some reason?

Thanks again

Thanks Bob,

I'm creating a simple example, changing the
CommandBars.ActionControl.State property to msoButtonDown, but when
the procedure finishes the button does not remain pressed. Is this the
normal behaviour?

Regards

David,


You need the State property


With Application.CommandBars.ActionControl
.State = Not .State
End With

Hello all,


I would like to add a custom button to an Excel toolbar (Excel 2003)
that could switch between activated and deactivated mode, that is to
say, the same behaviour as Bold, Align Left, Align Center, etc.
buttons, that remain pressed when the functionality is active.


Do you know whether it is possible?


Many thanks in advance
