VBA Expand/Collapse rows - vba

Question

I have a report in which I am asking the users to click buttons to reveal where they need to add their commentary. I have it working but wanted to put in an If statement in case they have already expanded the row.
I have two macros, the first relates to the button they push and sends to the main macro the name of the button and a row number which is part of the section that is either expanded or collapsed
Sub ROccupancy()
'
Dim RecName As String
RecName = "ROccupancy"
Dim RowNum As Integer
RowNum = 27
Call ToogleRec(RecName, RowNum)
End Sub
The next macro is where I am having the trouble
Sub ToogleRec(RecName, RowNum)
'
Dim Toogle As String
Dim MyObj As Object
Set MyObj = ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(Array(RecName))
Toogle = Left(MyObj.TextFrame2.TextRange.Characters.Text, 4)
TextName = Mid(MyObj.TextFrame2.TextRange.Characters.Text, 5, 100)
If Toogle = "Show" Then
MyObj.ShapeStyle = msoShapeStylePreset9
MyObj.TextFrame2.TextRange.Characters.Text = _
"Hide" & TextName
MsgBox Rows(RowNum).ShowDetail
If Rows(RowNum).ShowDetail = False Then
Rows(RowNum).ShowDetail = True
End If
Else
MyObj.ShapeStyle = msoShapeStylePreset11
MyObj.TextFrame2.TextRange.Characters.Text = _
"Show" & TextName
MsgBox Rows(RowNum).ShowDetail
If Rows(RowNum).ShowDetail = True Then
Rows(RowNum).ShowDetail = False
End If
End If
Range("C" & RowNum).Select
End Sub
The issue is the Rows(RowNum).ShowDetail is always TRUE, no matter if it's expanded or collapsed. I can remove the If section and set it to TRUE or FALSE using "Rows(RowNum).ShowDetail = False" or "Rows(RowNum).ShowDetail = TRUE". However, if the user has manually expanded or collapsed the row it causes an error (which freaks them out)
This question and answer seemed promising but Rows(RowNum).ShowDetail always seems to be TRUE
I put the MsgBox in there for error checking. I'll remove it in the final version.

Have you tried using Hidden property? Something like:
With Sheet1.Rows(5)
.ShowDetail = .Hidden
End With
Take note though that for you to use .ShowDetail method, you'll need to Group the rows first (needs to be in outline form).
True if the outline is expanded for the specified range (so that the detail of the column or row is visible). The specified range must be a single summary column or row in an outline.
Above code toggles hiding/unhiding a grouped row 5. You don't even need an If statement for the toggling. HTH.
