SetMenuItemState()

Syntax

Result = SetMenuItemState(#Menu, MenuItem, State)

Changes the specified MenuItem state. This is useful to add a 'check mark' near to the menu item text. If the 'State' is 1, then the check mark is displayed, else the check mark is removed.

GetMenuItemState() can be used to retrieve the current menu item state.

Example:

  If OpenWindow(0, 200, 200, 200, 100, "SetMenuItemState Example")
    If CreateMenu(0, WindowID(0))
      MenuTitle("Project")
        MenuItem(1, "Changed")
        SetMenuItemState(0,1,1)    ; set check mark before the previously created menu item
    EndIf
    Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent()=#PB_Event_CloseWindow
  EndIf
