I am having trouble with the "MenuChecked" function. It always appears to return "false".

My code is something like:

As expected ...
CheckMenu(idMenu$,1501,1); //this sets the check box
ShowMessage(MenuChecked(idMenu$,1501))
CheckMenu(idMenu$,1501,0); //this clears the check box
ShowMessage(MenuChecked(idMenu$,1501))

However

ShowMessage(MenuChecked(idMenu$,1501))
always reports "0" (eg false)

and the following code then does not toggle as expected;

CheckMenu(idmenu$,1501,NOT(MenuChecked(idMenu$,1501)))

I have got around the problem in the meantime by using a "global variable" to track the "checked" state and using it as the parameter to CheckMenu after performing the NOT on the global variable - rather a waste of a variable.

What am I doing wrong?

thanks
