Toggling MenuItems (ToolStripMenuItem) checked state

[kayleigh]

I have a menu bar like this.

Menu
.Item1
.Item2
.Item3

I need to use them like radio buttons. So i have come up with this. Seems a nasty hack since it loops all my menu items. And if i later add different checks it would interfear.


Any better solutions?

Private Sub mnuMainMenuToolBarComposeExistingThread_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
        Handles mnuMainMenuToolBarPrivateMessage.Click, mnuMainMenuToolBarComposeExistingThread.Click, _
        mnuMainMenuToolBarComposeNewThread.Click
 
        For Each ctrl As ToolStripMenuItem In mnuMainMenuToolBar.Items
            If Not ctrl.Name = DirectCast(sender, ToolStripMenuItem).Name Then
                CType(ctrl, ToolStripMenuItem).Checked = False
            End If
        Next ctrl
 
 
    End Sub

(edit just realized this rewritten version is not even working)
