[Antonio Linares]

Dear Jimmy,

Please try to provide a small PRG that shows what you are trying to do

In this example, do you mean that you want to set the check on menuitem "One" ?

Code: Select all  Expand view

#include "FiveWin.ch"

function Main()

   local oWnd

   DEFINE WINDOW oWnd MENU BuildMenu()

   ACTIVATE WINDOW oWnd

return nil  

function BuildMenu()

   local oMenu, oItem

   MENU oMenu
      MENUITEM "test"
      MENU
         MENUITEM "One"
            MENU
               MENUITEM "First" ACTION oItem:SetCheck( .T. )
               MENUITEM "Second"
            ENDMENU  
         MENUITEM oItem PROMPT "Two"
         MENUITEM "Three"
      ENDMENU  
   ENDMENU

return oMenu

hi,

does o:SetCheck() work when it is use as POPUP Menu

Yes, but menu settings is lost when the POPUP menu closed. You have to keep the information yourself and apply it when you create the POPUP menu.

Dear Jimmy,

Here you have your example modified to work as you want:

Code: Select all  Expand view

#include   "FiveWin.ch"

static lChecked := .F.

function Main()

   local oWnd, oBtn

   DEFINE WINDOW oWnd MENU BuildMenu()

   oBtn := TButton() :new(10, 10, "press me", oBtn,, 500,200,,,, .T. )
   oBtn:bAction := { | oCtrl, nRow, nCol, nKeyFlags | ;
                    BUILDMENU2( oCtrl, nRow, nCol, nKeyFlags ) }

   ACTIVATE WINDOW oWnd

return   nil

function BuildMenu()
local oMenu, oItem

   MENU oMenu
      MENUITEM   "test"
      MENU
         MENUITEM   "One"
            MENU
               MENUITEM   "First"  ACTION oItem:SetCheck( ! oItem:lChecked )
               MENUITEM   "Second"
            ENDMENU
         MENUITEM oItem   PROMPT   "Two"
         MENUITEM   "Three"
      ENDMENU
   ENDMENU

return oMenu

function BuildMenu2(oCtrl, nRow, nCol)
local oMenu, oItem

   MENU oMenu POPUP
      MENUITEM   "test"
      MENU
         MENUITEM   "One"
            MENU
               MENUITEM   "First"   ACTION oItem:SetCheck( lChecked := ! lChecked )
               MENUITEM   "Second"
            ENDMENU
         if lChecked  
            MENUITEM oItem PROMPT "Two" CHECKED
         else
            MENUITEM oItem PROMPT "Two"
         endif      
         MENUITEM   "Three"
      ENDMENU
   ENDMENU

   ACTIVATE POPUP oMenu  OF oCtrl AT nRow, nCol

hi Antonio,

thx for your Sample.

Here you have your example modified to work as you want:

Code: Select all  Expand view

static lChecked := .F.

         if lChecked  
            MENUITEM oItem PROMPT "Two" CHECKED
         else
            MENUITEM oItem PROMPT "Two"
         endif      
 

to use static lChecked is clear
but Idea to use different MENUITEM ... GREAT
