Menu check mark or diamond on selection

Post by bcmadore » Fri Feb 01, 2013 9:27 pm

I'm trying to figure out the Menu Builder.

Most importantly, how do I set and clear the "Mark" when I use a menu item? I see it in the Menu Builder, but I can't figure out how do have it work.

I have the menu item hide and show some options when selected, but I would like the check to appear as well.

Also, "Mnemonic" is grayed out for my new menu. How do I enable it?

Thanks.

You need to either set, or remove the string "!c" from the menu item text..

set the checkmark
!cMenu Item

remove the checkmark
Menu Item

Thanks, I wasn't sure if it was a property or something else. The menus work a little differently.
