Toolbar button change caption
Hi Steve,
The usual way for this kind of "on/off" button would be to use one
Caption or button face, and make the button look pressed/depressed
(like the buttons for "bold"/"italic"...).
But changing the text is also possible.
The following example should show you which properties to look up in
the online help:
Dim myCBB As CommandBarButton
Set myCBB = CommandBars.ActionControl
myCBB.Caption = "Track: Yes"
myCBB.State = msoButtonDown
