How to make a toolbar button visible?

[hstijnen]

Hi,
I've hidden a toolbar button manually (Word 2000). Now I want to make it visible with VBA.
I have already som code:
For Each ctl In CommandBars("formatting").Controls
If ctl.caption = strCaption Then
ctl.visible = visible
End If
Next ctl

But it appears the looping is only through visible buttons, so my invisible button is not found.
What can I do?

Thanks for help,

Henk

You say :

I've hidden a toolbar button manually

How did you do that, exactly? Did you actually remove the button from the toolbar ( in which case it isn't just invisible, is it! )?

Have you tried reversing your actions with Macro Recorder on, and looking at what is recorded?

Cheers, Glenn.

I've clicked the button "More buttons" at the end of the toolbar. This gives a checkbox list of the buttons in the toolbar. Here I've unchecked the button.
When I record the reverse action, there is no code in the macro.

Using macro record and removing and restoring the "Align Right" toolbar button resulted in this code:

Sub Macro1()
'
' Macro1 Macro
' Macro recorded 24/08/05 by Glennuk
'
    CommandBars("Formatting").Controls(9).Delete
End Sub
Sub Macro2()
'
' Macro2 Macro
' Macro recorded 24/08/05 by Glennuk
'
    CommandBars("Formatting").Controls.Add Type:=msoControlButton, ID:=121 _
        , Before:=10
End Sub

Cheers, Glenn.
