SetProperty visible problems

[MarlonVisser0408]

I'm trying to create a situation where if I press the orange "Add" button, the subform to the right turns to visible ="No". When I press it again, I want to be able to put it to visible = "Yes". My problem is that whenever I've changed it to not visible, the same logic doesn't work backwards.

me.somecontrol.visible = not me.somecontrol.visible

As a followup question, just to the basics of it. Why would this only work 1 way around? Why wouldn't clicking the button for the second time make it reappear?

Use True and False instead of Yes and No.

True is an intrinsic constant with value of -1 (False is 0).

The reason it sets only to not visible is because ANYTHING that is not True (-1) is treated as False and that includes "Yes".

I know, the property in design shows Yes or No but code expects True or False.

Instead of using Yes/No, try True/False.

Edit: Oops, too slow...

Aaaand it worked. I entirely looked over this because the removing did work. Thanks <3

Consider using a Toggle button instead.

In either case, consider code to change button Caption property as well.
