pCmdUI->Enable(TRUE);
pCmdUI->SetCheck(1);

Try This!! Tell me if this works

You need to use the SetCheck(TRUE OR FALS) function to set the check

 

[tchouch]

pCmdUI->SetCheck(1); //Check menu item
pCmdUI->SetCheck(0); //Uncheck menu item

--------
void CSayiDlg::OnUpdateRaceTime(CCmdUI* pCmdUI)
{

bCheckTime = !bCheckTime;
pCmdUI->Enable (TRUE);
pCmdUI->SetCheck (bCheckTime);

Yeah that's not going to work in the OnUpdatexxx handler because it runs in the idle time code so your flipping it back and forth all the time. You need to flip your bool in the click event and just set the check in the update, something like this:

void CSdiRndView::OnUpdateViewTest(CCmdUI *pCmdUI)
{
	pCmdUI->SetCheck( _bTest);
}

void CSdiRndView::OnViewTest()
{
	// TODO: Add your command handler code here
	_bTest = !_bTest;
}

-------
i put a messagebox to see if boolean variable is working and yes its working.
but still i dont see a check.
-------
void CMenudeneDlg::OnDeneme1()
{
bChecked = !bChecked;
if(bChecked)
MessageBox("bChecked = TRUE","bChecked"
else
MessageBox("bChecked = FALSE","bChecked"
}

void CMenudeneDlg::OnUpdateDeneme1(CCmdUI* pCmdUI)
{
pCmdUI->SetCheck (bChecked);
}

The code i posted has been tested and works in a MFC SDI application. If yours is not working then the problem exists is some place other than the code you are posting.

Oh.. i see your working in a dialog based application. The UpdateUI handlers are not called in a dialog applciation. You have to add some code to replace the missing MFC Document/View framework code that is not present in a dialog.

There are Technical Articles on MSDN that discuss several techniques for adding that support to a dialog.
