A Tip to Save Time

by Adam Lane



Say you want to make a toggle system, eg: You have a form and in that form you
have a Picture Box and a Command Button and you want to make a project where
whenever you click on the Command Button, the Picture Box will go
invisible/visible (opposite to what it's current state is). Instead of having to
write this boring code:



Private Sub Command1_Click()

    If Picture1.Visible = True Then

        Picture1.Visible = False

    ElseIf Picture1.Visible = False Then

        Picture1.Visible = True

    End If

End Sub

You can Replace it with this easy code:



Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Picture1.Visible = Not Picture1.Visible

End Sub



Now,
I know that code is simple and the majority of you probably already knew it. But
I know that there would be many people in the VB World that didn't.
