menu item checkbox

[RobBroekhuis]

I think this is an easy one - but I can't seem to find out how to do it. I'm trying to add a checkbox to a custom menu item (a CommandBarPopup), and can't find a property to add the checkmark. What's the easiest way to get one?
Thanks
Rob

Rob,

I believe that you can't add a check box ,but you can make menu item checked during runtime,by adding the enabling the property in the click event code:
menutitem.checked = true.
Hope this helps.

Cheers

Ammai,
As far as I can tell, there is no "checked" property for a menu item. At least, when I execute in the direct window the following code:

set menuitem=application.CommandBars(1).Controls("&Catalog").controls(3)
menuitem.checked=true

I get an error message about an undefined property.
typename(menuitem) is "commandbarbutton"

Is this not as simple as I had hoped?

For the record, I figured it out. The command is:

menuitem.state = msoButtonUp (or msoButtonDown)
