Activate vs Show (Deactivate vs Hide) a palette

[alain]

Hi,

I just share my interrogation about difference between these actions

and (of course) their opposite sisters

Thanks for any clarification,

The difference is whether there is a palette showing the macro group.

Activate makes the macro group (and its contained macros) active. Show does that but also displays a palette of the macros.
