I have a menu item that turns on/off a window. Is it possible to use a custom icon or bitmap for the tick next to a menu item when SetCheck(true), instead of the grey tick. Also, can I show something when the item is SetCheck(false)?

Hi,

yes, just set any icon for this item - this icon will be in rectangle instead check mark.

Thanks, but how do I get to the item? In my MainFrame::OnCreate(), I have:

// Add the menu bar
CXTPCommandBar* pMenuBar = pCommandBars->SetMenu(
  _T("Menu Bar"), IDR_MAINFRAME);
if(pMenuBar == NULL)
{
  TRACE0("Failed to create menu bar.\n");
  return -1;      // fail to create
}
pMenuBar->SetFlags(xtpFlagHideMinimizeBox | xtpFlagHideMaximizeBox);

CMenu *menu = pMenuBar->GetMenu();
CMenu *subMenu = menu->GetSubMenu(3);

But the pMenuBar->GetMenu() returns NULL, so I can't get to the items in the menus to set the check and uncheck icons.

hi,

you have to set icons to imagemanager for Controls Ids.

pCommandBars->GetImageManager()->SetIcons(..);
