Get menu item mark


Get menu item mark ( menu ; menuItem {; process} ) -> Function result

Parameter	Type	Description
menu	Longint, MenuRef	Menu number or Menu reference
menuItem	Longint	Menu item number or -1 for last item added
process	Longint	Process reference number
Function result	String	Current menu item mark

Description

The Get menu item mark command returns the check mark of the menu item whose number or reference is passed in menu and whose item number is passed in menuItem. You can pass -1 in menuItem in order to indicate the last item added to menu.

If you omit the process parameter, Get menu item mark applies to the menu bar for the current process. Otherwise, Get menu item mark applies to the menu bar for the process whose reference number is passed in process.

Note: If you pass a MenuRef in menu, the process parameter serves no purpose and will be ignored.

If the menu item has no mark or if the menuItem parameter specifies a hierarchical submenu, Get menu item mark returns an empty string.

Note: See discussion of check marks on Macintosh and Windows in the description of the command SET MENU ITEM MARK.

Example

The following example toggles the check mark of a menu item:

SET MENU ITEM MARK($vlMenu;$vlItem;Char(18)*Num(Character code(Get menu item mark($vlMenu;$vlItem))#18))
