Disabling/enabling events with a button created by code??
 

Hello all!,

I have created a custom button that when clicked displays all hidde
sheets and also displays the worksheet menu bar, what i would like t
happen is that when this button is clicked that along with the above
new button appears on the menubar marked disable/enable, so that whe
this button is clicked it disables events for that sheet and whe
clicked again enables events!

Thanks,

Simon

Hi Simon

Incorporate the following into your existing sub to create the new button...

--------------------
Dim c As Variant
With Application.CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar")
For Each c In .Controls
If c.Caption = "EN" Then c.Delete
Next c
..Controls.Add Type:=msoControlButton, ID:=2950, Befo=1
..Controls(1).Caption = "EN"
..Controls(1).TooltipText = "Enable Events"
..Controls(1).OnAction = ThisWorkbook.Name & "!enevents"
..Controls(1).Style = msoButtonCaption
End With
End Sub
--------------------

and add this new sub....

Sub enevents()
Application.EnableEvents = Not Application.EnableEvents
End Sub
