My Friend I want to hide button in onc case,show it in another case.RemoveButton works fine,but InsertButton is private function so we cannot use it,So If I use this method how can I show Button again

I ran into the same problem. It seems that CMFCToolBar does not react on TB_HIDEBUTTON anymore. I think you have to use the visible style on the buttons, e.g.:

void HideButton(CMFCToolBar* pToolBar, int nID, bool bHide)
{ 
    //NOTE: TB_HIDEBUTTON does not work anymore

    const int nIndex = pToolBar->CommandToIndex(nID);

    if (nIndex != -1)
    {
        CMFCToolBarButton* pButton = pToolBar->GetButton(nIndex);
        
        if (pButton)
        {
            pButton->SetVisible(!bHide);

            pToolBar->AdjustSizeImmediate();
        }
    }
}
