O.P. Menu Checkmarks
Hi

I'm looking for a way to place checkmarks (ticks) next to menu items for my script.  I have created a menu structure that contains an option to enable or disable various functionality and I would like to use the checkmarks found in regular Win32 menus.  I've searched through the forum and the documentation and I can't seem to find anything relating to it.  Maybe i'm searching for the wrong thing?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Cheers,
Timbo

If you are using the similar Menu as the Import/Export functionin the preferences I was talking to Patchou about it last night and he forgot to add a callback function for the menu items. So as of right now unfortunately it wont work.

Thanks for the reply.

The menu i have created shows up when the MsgPlus! Icon is clicked either in the main Windows Live window or a conversation/chat window.  But if the functionality is not there, then it's not there!  Not to worry, I'll simply have to take a different approach regarding the user's ability to quickly enable or disable my script.

Thanks again,
Timbo

Consider that the menu is formed, generally, when the function onGetScriptMenu is called (when you click on the Plus! icon on the main WLM window and chat windows).

You return the menu then.

So, instead of checkmarks, why not just create the option "dynamically"? I mean this:

If the script is enabled, the menu appears as: "disable". When the script is disabled, the menu can be: "enable". The ID can be written that same way.

And you just handle it with onEvent_MenuClicked. :)

Hack, hack, hack!

Thanks for the reply Leonardo.

That's pretty much what I'm after, considering the checkmark functionality is not working.  What you've proposed is more than adequate.

Thanks,
Timbo
