Menu Bar checkmarks

[mbrink]

I've found how to make a checked menu item and it changes the variable the way I want, but I can't get clicking on that menu item to toggle the checkmark. It either always has the check, or always doesn't. I need code to change that property on runtime.

If it helps, the item I want to have the checkmark abilities is called mnuSound, and is under mnuOptions. And this is VB6.0.

Try this

Private Sub mnuSound_Click()
mnuSound.Checked = Not mnuSound.Checked
End Sub
If you choose to battle wits with the witless be prepared to lose.

That didn't work. Comes up with a 'object or data member not found' error. When I type the "mnuSound.", the four options that pop up are Count, Item, LBound, and Ubound.

If I use mnusound.item, the option for checked shows up, but if I use it, it highlights item and gives a 'argument not optional' error.

Help again?

Yoiu have the index property set in your menu. This sets up an array of menu items. Look in Menu editor at the Index box.

To refer to the individual menu items use:
Private Sub mnuSound_Click(Index As Integer)
mnuSound(index).Checked = Not mnuSound(index).Checked
End Sub Let me know if this helps
