Hi

Not sure I understand your question. Are you saying that if you click btnSnacks then you want to hide btnDrinks and if you click btnDrinks you want to hide btnSnacks? Although how that would work I am not sure as one will be visible while the other would not.

Can you provide some more information please.

[jessica_10]

@djjeavons, yes, i want to hide the buttons in btnSnacks when i click btnDrinks and vice versa.
i have list of different kinds of drinks in
tbldrinks, in the Listbox1 [where i add the buttons] the list in tbldrinks needs to be view in LIstbox1 but it should be button.
the buttons in Listbox1 came from the database
[help me plz]

[djjeavons]

@djjeavons, yes, i want to hide the buttons in btnSnacks when i click btnDrinks and vice versa.

But if you click btnSnacks and hide btnDrinks then how will you click btnDrinks to do the vice versa bit?

As for hiding a button, simply set its Visible property to False, so when you click btnSnacks you would do btnDrinks.Visible = False

btnSnacks :[focaccia bread and focaccia bread II]
btnDrinks : [maria theresaa fav]
when i click btnSnacks after the btnDrinks, the record show the same button as btnSnacks[focaccia bread and focaccia bread II] , but when i click btndrinks after btnSnacks, the 1st button is from btndrinks then the other one came from btnSnacks[maria theresas fav and focaccia bread II] [in my observation i think the button is hiding to another button]
heres the screenshot of the form

@djjeavons , what i really want to hide is the Big button as you can see in the photo above

Hi

If you know the name of the button when you create it you can access it and set it's visibility to False or even remove it from the list.

    Dim ctl As Control = ListBox1.Controls("NameOfControl")
    ctl.Visible = False

To remove a single control use: ListBox1.Controls.Remove(ctl)

Or alternatively, each time you click Drink or Snacks then remove all controls from the list before adding them again?

    For controlIndex As Integer = (ListBox1.Controls.Count - 1) To 0 Step -1
        ListBox1.Controls.RemoveAt(controlIndex)
    Next
