A quick way to toggle visibility

Daniel Okely

If you want show something when its hidden, or hide it if its showing you may do this:

If Control1.Visible = True Then
 Control1.Visible = False
ElseIf Control1.Visible = False Then
 Control1.Visible = True
End If

However, a quicker way is to do:

Control1.Visible = Not Control1.Visible

Also, if you have a menu like 'View Toolbar' you can use the resultant visibility to set the checkmark on it. For Example

Private Sub mnuViewToolbar_Click()
  tbToolbar.Visible = Not tbToolbar.Visible
  mnuViewToolbar.Checked = tbToolbar.Visible
End Sub

By the way, if you make the item visible in the first place, make sure the menu is checked by default.

    I think it would be best to just introduce the not operator and then show its uses(like toggling visibility).
