MenuItem problem [Resolved]

[teamdad]

I am having a problem with getting a menu item to check or uncheck. Any suggestions on what's going wrong with this? It obviously keeps the form on top of other windows when I can get it working.

Private Sub MenuItem3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MenuItem3.Click

If MenuItem3.Checked = False Then

Me.TopMost = False

Else

MenuItem3.Checked = True

Me.TopMost = True

End If

End Sub



Thanks in advance for those that reply

Hi.

I think your problems is, that you check wether the item is checked. if not you don't do any thing to the item.
If it is checked, you set to checked, which it allready is. So that way, it will allways be checked.

Try changing your code to this.

Private Sub MenuItem3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MenuItem3.Click
 
'Toggle the state of the item
MenuItem3.Checked=Not MenuItem3.Checked
 
If MenuItem3.Checked = False Then
 
Me.TopMost = False
 
Else
 
Me.TopMost = True
 
End If
 
End Sub

Or you could make that a little bit simpler...

Private Sub MenuItem3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MenuItem3.Click
 
'Toggle the state of the item
MenuItem3.Checked=Not MenuItem3.Checked
 
Me.TopMost = MenuItem3.Checked
 
End Sub
