Checking stuff in a menu

Is it possible to to check an item (IE: by default a menu item is unchecked, but when someone clicks it, it becomes checked)?

I'm using MSVC++ 6.0 Enterprise if that helps.

[EDIT]: Also using Win32, not MFC [/EDIT]

Are you using the Win32 API or MFC?

Win32 (Sorry, forgot to mention it).

Code:

---

// This Will Check A Menu Item
// hMenu: handle of the menu
// ID_MY_ITEM: id of menu item (ex. ID_FILE_NEW)
// MF_CHECKED: self-explanatory :)

CheckMenuItem(hMenu, ID_MY_ITEM, MF_CHECKED);

---

Code:

---

// This Will Check A Menu Item
// hMenu: handle of the menu
// ID_MY_ITEM: id of menu item (ex. ID_FILE_NEW)
// MF_UNCHECKED: self-explanatory :)

CheckMenuItem(hMenu, ID_MY_ITEM, MF_UNCHECKED);

---

I hope this is what you wanted. :)

Thanks, it does. Did you look at MSDN?

Yes, I sure did. But I don't use the Win32 API anymore. I use MFC with MSVC++ 6.0. :) I find it easy to use. :)

Any resources for MFC?

Yes, of course. When you go to the MSDN Library, http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/, there is a tree-view thing on the left. Click "Visual Tools and Languages", "Visual Studio 6.0", "Visual C and C++ 6.0", and then click "Product Documentation". That should be what you need. I basically taught myself most of MFC though. :)

:) Thank you.

Can you tell me in the FreeLibrary() function, is it that if it returns true that it worked, or if it returns false that it works?

MSDN Library says that the function is successful if the return value is non-zero, which means 'true'. False is always a '0' (zero) value, and true is anything BUT '0' (zero). So FreeLibrary() is successful if it returns 'true'. :)

Thank you :) BTW: The MFC thing on MSDN is pretty well dead (page not found).

Well, if you have any good Peer-2-Peer applications, such as iMesh (i prefer this one :)), WinMX, etc., then search "Visual C++" under documents.

For the FreeLibrary() function, everytime I run it, it processes the result 3 times, then the program crashes. Got any idea on why this is? If you want, I can send you the file through AIM (evanescence s0ul).
