Hoping for some help...

I have a code (below) for creating a print dialog box that lets me
select sheets to print in a workbook.

What I would like to do....

Use the same dialog box format and style to 'hide', 'unhide' & 'very
hide' worksheets by selecting checkboxes (much in the same way the
code below works to select sheets for printing).
I have tried playing around and changing some of my code (below) to
modify it to 'hide', 'unhide' & 'very hide' sheets instead of print
them but have crashed and burned in the process. Any ideas or
assistance would be apreciated.
Thanks
Tim

It's a different question Frank.

Tim, here is some code. It shows the dialog box with all sheets, but the
hidden ones are checked.. When you OK it hides checked items, makes the
others visible

Option Explicit

Sub SelectSheets()
Dim i As Integer
Dim TopPos As Integer
Dim SheetCount As Integer
Dim PrintDlg As DialogSheet
Dim CurrentSheet As Worksheet
Dim cb As CheckBox
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

' Check for protected workbook
If ActiveWorkbook.ProtectStructure Then
MsgBox "Workbook is protected.", vbCritical
Exit Sub
End If

' Add a temporary dialog sheet
Set CurrentSheet = ActiveSheet
Set PrintDlg = ActiveWorkbook.DialogSheets.Add

SheetCount = 0

' Add the checkboxes
TopPos = 40
For i = 1 To ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets.Count
Set CurrentSheet = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(i)
' Skip empty sheets sheets
If Application.CountA(CurrentSheet.Cells) < 0 Then
SheetCount = SheetCount + 1
PrintDlg.CheckBoxes.Add 78, TopPos, 150, 16.5
PrintDlg.CheckBoxes(SheetCount).Text = _
CurrentSheet.Name
If Worksheets(i).Visible < xlSheetVisible Then
PrintDlg.CheckBoxes(SheetCount).Value = True
End If
TopPos = TopPos + 13
End If
Next i

' Move the OK and Cancel buttons
PrintDlg.Buttons.Left = 240

' Set dialog height, width, and caption
With PrintDlg.DialogFrame
.Height = Application.Max _
(68, PrintDlg.DialogFrame.Top + TopPos - 34)
.Width = 230
.Caption = "Select sheets to print"
End With

' Change tab order of OK and Cancel buttons
' so the 1st option button will have the focus
PrintDlg.Buttons("Button 2").BringToFront
PrintDlg.Buttons("Button 3").BringToFront

' Display the dialog box
CurrentSheet.Activate
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
If SheetCount < 0 Then
If PrintDlg.Show Then
For Each cb In PrintDlg.CheckBoxes
Worksheets(cb.Caption).Activate
If cb.Value = xlOn Then
ActiveSheet.Visible = xlSheetHidden
Else
ActiveSheet.Visible = xlSheetVisible
End If
Next cb
End If
Else
MsgBox "All worksheets are empty."
End If

' Delete temporary dialog sheet (without a warning)
