menu items with check mark

Hello,

I would like to implement a little check mark beside the menu item depending
on the state of the app. Do I need to say something special in VC, and how
can I programatically chaneg the state of the check mark?

Thanks,

rush

You can do it inside the #queryCommand:

queryCommand: query
| event |
event := query commandSymbol.

(event = #workingOnIt)
ifTrue:[query isEnabled: (bugListP hasSelection and:[bugListP selection
notFixed]); isChecked: (bugListP hasSelection and:[bugListP selection
itsBeenStudied])].

The method is:

isChecked: aBoolean.

No, you don't need anything special in the VC (other than assigning your
menu item a command symbol as normal). Try browsing all references to
CommandQuery>>isChecked: and take a look at the uses within the
#queryCommand: methods. This should show you how it is done.
