Hi, I have 6 buttons on my GUI. The visibility of the buttons can be configured via checkboxes. Checking the checkbox and saving means the correpsonding button should be shown. I am wondering if it is somehow possible to have one TinyInt column in the database which represents the visibility of all 6 buttons.

I created an enum for the buttons, it looks like that:

public enum MyButtons
{
    Button1 = 1,
    Button2 = 2,
    Button3 = 3,
    Button4 = 4,
    Button5 = 5,
    Button6 = 6
}

Now I am wondering how to say that for example only button1, button5 and button6 are checked using this one column. Possible at all?

Thanks :-)
