Menus and icons

[trenatos]

Been looking but not finding.

One of the things I'm using menus for, is acting as a boolean setter, you can change some settings simply by clicking them in the menu, simple to trap with a switch.

But what I haven't found is how to set icons next to the menu items.

So in this case I want to show the user that the option is active with an icon next to the menu item.

You can't assign arbitrary images as icons, but you can use the built-in checkmark or dot. See the "menu" entry in the dictionary for info on how to set up your menus to use those.

If you need to show icons in a "pull-down" type of list, you can make a dataGrid of type "form". The DG manual gives an example. Of course, this is not in the menubar, but rather a standalone control.
