Question

I got 3 different form buttons on my spreadsheet. I want to disable 2 of them while one is pressed. Is that possible?

In C# the button can be true or false, but I can’t find any examples of this in VBA Excel 2010?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

You cannot disable Form Buttons. If you want to use that functionality then use the ActiveX button.

However there is an alternative. Create 2 Public Boolean Variables and then in the click event of Button 1 Set the variables to True or False. Depending on the Boolean variables, the other 2 buttons will run their code or not. For example

Option Explicit

Dim enableB2 As Boolean, enableB3 As Boolean

Sub Button1_Click()
    If enableB2 = False Then
        enableB2 = True: enableB3 = True
    Else
        enableB2 = False: enableB3 = False
    End If

    '
    '~~> Rest of the code
    '
End Sub

Sub Button2_Click()
     If enableB2 = True Then
        '
        MsgBox "Hello You clicked Button 2"
        '
     End If
End Sub

Sub Button3_Click()
     If enableB3 = True Then
        '
        MsgBox "Hello You clicked Button 3"
        '
     End If
End Sub
