Eh?

The Checked property is a Boolean value (True or False).
Supposing your menu item is called mnuChecker:

mnuChecker.Checked = True     'when the tick is present
mnuChecker.Checked = False    'when it isn't.

To programatically check it yourself:

mnuChecker.Checked = True

To toggle:

mnuChecker.Checked = Not mnuChecker.Checked

Hope that helps, if not submit some more info (in English).

Here's an example

    Select Case mnuMyMenu.Checked
        Case True
            mnuMyMenu.Checked = False
            ' Do something (or nothing) based on the fact that it's not checked
        Case False
            mnuMyMenu.Checked = True
            ' Do somthing because it's checked
    End Select

If mnumymenu.checked = True Then
Msgbox "The menu is checked."
Else
Msgbox "The menu is not checked."
End If

This is just to tell you if the menu is checked. It is useful for having options in a program.

And if you want someone to click the menu and want it to be checked or unchecked:

If mnumymenu.Checked = True Then 'If checked=True Then
mnumymenu.Checked = False 'checked=False
'do what you want if it is unchecked
ElseIf mnumymenu.Checked = False Then 'If checked=False Then
mnumymenu.Checked = True 'checked=True
'do what you want if it is checked
End If
