"check" menu functionality

Argh...
This code lies in the IDE -

			Case MENUQUICKENABLED
				If quickenabled
					quickenabled=False
					UncheckMenu quickenable							
				Else
					quickenabled=True
					CheckMenu quickenable
				EndIf

This imples that when a "check-type" menu is selected by the user, that nothing actually happens to the menu item, and the developer has to do the work of "checking" or "unchecking" it.

Does this mean I have to break the functionality of my GTK menus and not have it check the item when the user checks it?

And there was me thinking this was how menus worked? ....
....The user checks the menu, the menu updates to show it's checked - and therefore when you ask it MenuChecked() it will know there and then if it is checked or not?

For GTK, I can replace the above code with :

			Case MENUQUICKENABLED
				quickenabled = MenuChecked(quickenable)

which makes sense to me... ??

:-(

How does radiobutton behave?

But there isn't a "check-type" menu item. When you create menus, you cannot specify it as being a checkable menu item.

There probably ought to be a flags parameter on CreateMenu that can be used to identify checkable menu items rather than hand-coding them.

But then, there ought to be the ability to add images to menu items too...

Depending on the text you use for your menu, on GTK you will see images ;-)


Oh dear... so I've made the GTK menus a bit too easy to use?

Go figure...
