checked state on menuItems [RESOLVED]

[Andy]

I need to have my submenu stay open like it is when the user checks or unchecks a submenu item. Right now, when they do click to toggle the checked state, it simply closes all of the menus. How can I code it to stay open?

[Pirate]

Try this after the code that handles unchecking menuitem .

SendKeys.Send("%F")

[Pirate]

Caution :
Save your work and then try that work in case something bad happen (I had my system halted but in different scenario)

[Andy]

nope. that didn't work. I will keep looking into the sendkeys function though thanks!

[Pirate]

I just tried this and it works . I added Enter key value (~) .

SendKeys.Send("%F~")

[Andy]

i took a screen shot of the error I get. Please take a look....

[Pirate]

Hell , what is that !! . Where did you use that code ?

[Andy]

LOL. i put that in the click even of my menu item.

now, I don't have any shortcuts or hotkeys pointing to this menu item. Is that a problem? Is there another way besides sendkeys?

Just to double check .

Why not ?

I can't think of any other solutions . This works good , at least to me.

[Andy]

alrighty then. I will assign hotkeys to it and see what happens.
