Hi,
I'm new at programming in Excel and have the following question:

is it possible that, if I open an Excel-file, all visible toolbars are
put to invisible.

If I close the file, does this mean that if I open another file the
toolbars are still invisible?
If I have to make them visible again, how can I do this?

Hope somebody can help me?

Thanks
Hein

Hi Hein,
please before you ask something look for an answer in this discussion.
The point is that your question was answered t o d a y.

Roman
You're right and I'm sorry for the inconvenience

However:
1.
the answer is indeed given today, but AFTER I've posted my thread
2.
I'm in kind of a hurry to get this sorted, I'm new to prgogramming i
Excel, I'm new to this site (new member today) and didn't kno
how/where to look.

I have a question about the other answer:
I've carefully typed in the code but it doesn't work.
How can I get it to work if I open the file?
Hope you can help me?

Thanks
Hei

Hi Hein,
you can call the DM Unseen's code after a Workbook_Open event and
Workbook_close event passing required bHide variable. You can use
Workbook_WindowActivate and Workbook_WindowDeactivate events as well.

This could be a good solution too:

Hein,

no matter, you're right it was simple coding to help someone, I've did
some more testing and made it more robust, here you go:


Sub showhide(Optional bHide As Boolean = False)
Dim cmb As CommandBar
Static col As New Collection


If bHide Then
For Each cmb In Application.CommandBars
If cmb.Type = msoBarTypeMenuBar Or cmb.Type = msoBarTypeNormal Then
If cmb.Visible Then
cmb.Enabled = False
If cmb.Visible Then cmb.Visible = False
col.Add cmb, cmb.name
End If
End If
Next cmb
Else
If col Is Nothing Or col.Count = 0 Then
For Each cmb In Application.CommandBars
If cmb.Type = msoBarTypeMenuBar Or cmb.Type = msoBarTypeNormal
Then
If Not cmb.Visible Then
cmb.Enabled = True
If (Not cmb.Visible) And cmb.Enabled Then cmb.Visible =
True
End If
End If
Next cmb
Else
For Each cmb In col
If cmb.ID < 265 Then cmb.Visible = True
cmb.Enabled = True
Next cmb
End If
Set col = Nothing
End If


End Sub

Oops, small logic typo (grr)

PS Roman, my current proc will actually try to remember toolbar
settings, the ozgrid one does not do this.

Sub showhide(Optional bHide As Boolean = False)
Dim cmb As CommandBar
Static col As New Collection


If bHide Then
For Each cmb In Application.CommandBars
If cmb.Type = msoBarTypeMenuBar Or cmb.Type = msoBarTypeNormal Then
If cmb.Visible Then
cmb.Enabled = False
If cmb.Visible Then cmb.Visible = False
col.Add cmb, cmb.name
End If
End If
Next cmb
Else
If col Is Nothing Or col.Count = 0 Then
For Each cmb In Application.CommandBars
If cmb.Type = msoBarTypeMenuBar Or cmb.Type = msoBarTypeNormal
Then
If Not cmb.Visible Or Not cmb.Enabled Then
cmb.Enabled = True
If (Not cmb.Visible) And cmb.Enabled Then cmb.Visible =
True
End If
End If
Next cmb
Else
For Each cmb In col
If Not cmb.Visible Or Not cmb.Enabled Then
cmb.Enabled = True
If (Not cmb.Visible) And cmb.Enabled Then cmb.Visible =
True
End If
Next cmb
End If
Set col = Nothing
End If


End Sub
