How to hide and copy a checkbox using vba - vba

Question

I have the base column with the checkbox, (the D column in my code), and i want to copy that column with the checbox to the other columns, but the column D must be hide(all the data including the checkbox).
the problem here is:
i don't know how to hide the checbox, when i hide the column the checbox still visible.
when i coppy the column the checbox in the colum does not be copied
This is the fuction that i actually used.
Private Sub cmdAddNewXref_Click()
Columns("D:D").Select
Selection.Copy
i = 3
Cells(2, i).Select
Do
i = i + 1
Loop While Cells(2, i) <> ""
Cells(2, i).Select
'MsgBox ActiveCell.Column
Columns(i - 1).Select
Columns("D:D").Select
Selection.Copy
Columns(i).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = False
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Range("A1").Select
End Sub
but most importantly what i want to do, is possible?
EDIT 1: actually thanks to Scott Holtzman i can hide the checkbox with the columns.

Answer 1

Give this is a shot. There's probably a bit more of ideal way to do it, but I tested it and got it to work.
There are some assumptions on cell ranges and such that you will need to adjust to meet your exact spreadsheet specs.
Option Explicit
Private Sub cmdAddNewXref_Click()
Dim i As Integer
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Worksheets("mySheet") 'change as needed
'find next column to copy
i = 3
Do
i = i + 1
Loop While ws.Cells(2, i) <> ""
With ws.Columns("D:D")
.EntireColumn.Hidden = False
.Copy Columns(i)
End With
'copy checkbox in column D
Dim cb As Shape
Set cb = ws.Shapes("CheckBox1") 'change name as needed
cb.Copy
ws.Cells(4, i).Select 'assumes checkbox should be in row 4, change to wherever it is on column D for you
ws.Paste
ws.Columns("D:D").EntireColumn.Hidden = True
End Sub

CHange the paste, to paste special values, to hide the check its the .visible property I believe.
hope this helps.
From what I gathered... Copying the row, to somewhere else, but not the control, then he wanted to hide copied row. :)
Option Explicit
Sub test()
' From above code in yours I will be col number
Dim i As Integer
i = 5
Columns("A:A").Copy
Sheet2.Activate
ActiveSheet.Cells(1, i).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
End Sub
