toggle image visibility via button on form

[Pedigreeman]

Hello all,

I would appreciate some help with the following:

I have two images per record on a form (img1 and img2). I want their visibility to be determined by a single clickable button (btn1). Once clicked on I would like this button to change its text caption to either 'On' or 'Off' and the image visibility of img1 and img2 will both correspond to this value. This would be an unbound button, with its value applying to all records.

I am afraid that so far I have only been able to create the button. In the 'On click' event procedure I am unsure of the correct code which will check what the current caption and value of the button is, and change it to the alternative caption and value once clicked.

Many thanks in advance,

Mark

Untested code for command buttons click event:

If cmdTglVis.caption = "On" then
   img1.visible = true
   img2.visible = true
   cmdTglVis.caption = "Off"
Else
   img1.visible = false
   img2.visible = false
   cmdTglVis.caption = "On"
End If

This is assuming the caption should display what the button will do (i.e. it says on when clicking it would turn the images on rather than saying on when the images are on). If that is not the case then change the "On" in the first line of code to "Off".

Great - this worked exactly as I wanted.

Thanks very much!
