asked on
checkbox to hide entire section
Hi guys,
I would need your help. I have a document with several sections (i.e. Services), and the idea is to create checkboxes on start. If we select one service, the section regarding it is shown, if we don't select it, it remains hidden.
Example
Service 1
Service 2
Service 3
Section Service 1 (with content bellow)
Section Service 2 (with content bellow)
etc.
So services that i select with checkbox are visible and the ones that are not, remain hidden. (also it would be good if there is a possibility to keep the sorting, that if I select first Service 2, then Service 1, to still be in the document in line).
I'm quite new in this and I would really appreciate all the help I could get.

Hi Ramin,
thank you for your reply, but what I was going for is something else.
I've attached a quick example with 2 checkboxes, now, what I need is to "unhide" the service that is been selected, or keep it "hidden" if it's not selected.
Could you please provide me with any possible solution for that?
Kind regards,
Nenad

Ark, I've looked into that one before, and at the end someone asked the similar question as mine (How would you apply this to multiple sections as well), and it was advised to ask a separate question.
Which led me to a thought that the solution might be bit different.

GrahamSkan gave a great idea and code, I tried to use it (using his code replacing the "Section2" with "Service1" - from my example) but I did not get it running.
And I've selected entire section as autotext, and followed all the guidelines.

The solution definitely doesn't work. If anyone could provide further assistance or help, I would appreciate it

Visual Basic Classic
Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
