Bonjour,
Je cherche à afficher des pages avec des cases à cocher. Les Chekbox sont toutes sur la même feuille de calcul.
J'ai copié le premier code et l'ai dupliquer.

Private Sub CheckBox1_Click()
On Error Resume Next
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Eplucher, laver, désinfecter").Visible = CheckBox1.Value
End Sub

Private Sub CheckBox2_Click()
On Error Resume Next
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Tailler fruits et légumes").Visible = CheckBox1.Value
End Sub

Malheureusement, si je ne coche pas la première case ma seconde case ne fonctionne pas. Pourriez-vous m'aider svp

Hi Sky53,
I seems that you did not change CheckBox1.Value to the corresponding checkbox name in the second VBA code.
Please change the following line in the second code:
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Tailler fruits et légumes").Visible = CheckBox1.Value
to
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Tailler fruits et légumes").Visible = CheckBox2.Value

Hi Crystal,
Is there a function that would reverse this; ie. sheet is hidden unless checkbox is ticked?

Hi. I'm very new to ActiveX Controls. I am trying to have multiple checkboxes on one sheet that will hide specific sheets and not all of them or the same one every time. These two scenarios have been my experience. What I need to accomplish is:
CheckBox1 hides Sheet2
CheckBox2 hides Sheet3
CheckBox3 hides Sheet4
CheckBox4 hides Sheet5
CheckBox5 hides Sheet6
CheckBox6 hides Sheet7
CheckBox7 hides Sheet8
CheckBox8 hides Sheet9

Hi Jack,
Just repeat the code and change the checkbox numbers and the sheet names. Try the below code.

Private Sub CheckBox1_Click()

On Error Resume Next

ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet2").Visible = CheckBox1.Value

End Sub

Private Sub CheckBox2_Click()

On Error Resume Next

ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet3").Visible = CheckBox2.Value

End Sub

Private Sub CheckBox3_Click()

On Error Resume Next

ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet4").Visible = CheckBox3.Value

End Sub

Private Sub CheckBox4_Click()

On Error Resume Next

ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet5").Visible = CheckBox4.Value

End Sub

Private Sub CheckBox5_Click()

On Error Resume Next

ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet6").Visible = CheckBox5.Value

End Sub

Private Sub CheckBox6_Click()

On Error Resume Next

ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet7").Visible = CheckBox6.Value

End Sub

Private Sub CheckBox7_Click()

On Error Resume Next

ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet8").Visible = CheckBox7.Value

End Sub

Private Sub CheckBox8_Click()

On Error Resume Next

ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet9").Visible = CheckBox8.Value

End Sub

Basta con copiar la linea tantas veces como se quiera nombrando la hoja que debe ser ocultada.

Private Sub CheckBox1_Click()
On Error Resume Next
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("DB2018").Visible = CheckBox1.Value
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("V2018").Visible = CheckBox1.Value
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("R2018").Visible = CheckBox1.Value
End Sub
