GUICtrlCreateMenuItem

[layer]

hey guys... im trying to be able to "toggle" a menu_item... is there a way to put a check next to a menu item?? heres part of my editor that has the non working toggling...

Func WordWrapOn ()
   Local $edit_styles= BitOR ($ES_WANTRETURN, $WS_VSCROLL, $ES_AUTOVSCROLL)
$edit= GUICtrlCreateEdit ("", -1, -1, 300, 400, $edit_styles)
EndFunc

Func WordWrapOff ()
   GUICtrlDelete ($edit)
   $edit= GUICtrlCreateEdit ("", -1, -1, 300, 400, $ES_WANTRETURN)
EndFunc

Func ToggleWordWrap ()
   if $menu_item5= $GUI_CHECKED Then
      WordWrapOn ()
      EndIf
   If $menu_item5= $GUI_UNCHECKED Then
      WordWrapOff ()
      EndIf
EndFunc

While 1
$get= GUIGetMsg ()
Select 
Case $get = $menu_item5
ToggleWordWrap ()
Wend

now, is it possible to put a check next to a menu_item? i have no clue, so could someone help me with that... i think that would solve it...

EDIT: the help file is a charm... nevermind.... but i don't think the toggle works though.. any help?

EDIT2: actually i think the help file covers it all... i will ask if i need help! thanks! also had some wrong code i think in the above script...

Any chance we can see how you solved it?

Here's an example:

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
AutoItSetOption("TrayIconDebug", 1)

;Initialize variables
Global $style1
Global $IniFile
Global $GUIWidth
Global $GUIHeight

$GUIWidth = 250
$GUIHeight = 250

GUICreate("New GUI", $GUIWidth, $GUIHeight)

$Main_menu = GUICtrlCreateMenu("View")
   $Menu_Item = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Test", $Main_menu)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
   Sleep(25)
   $msg = GUIGetMsg()
   Select
   
      Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
         GUIDelete()
         Exit

      Case $msg = $Menu_Item
         If BitAND(GUICtrlRead($Menu_Item), $GUI_CHECKED) Then
            GUICtrlSetState($Menu_Item, $GUI_UNCHECKED)
         Else
            GUICtrlSetState($Menu_Item, $GUI_CHECKED)
         EndIf
         
   EndSelect

WEnd

Thanks, but there was a small error in the script.

GUICtrlRead shoud be GUIRead

Right?

GUIRead changed to GUICtrlRead in v1.0.103.133. Released 24th Dec. Time to update.

I thought i was updated, hmm this starts to look more and more like Microsoft Vulnerability update

Everytime you reboot, you need to update your computer.

slim's probably works best but heres mine...

btw: im not very good with toggling anyway so

Func WordWrapOn ()
   Local $edit_styles= BitOR ($ES_WANTRETURN, $WS_VSCROLL, $ES_AUTOVSCROLL)
$edit= GUICtrlCreateEdit ("", -1, -1, 300, 400, $edit_styles)
GUICtrlSetState ($menu_item5, $GUI_CHECKED)
EndFunc

Func WordWrapOff ()
***TRYING TO FIND SOMETHING FOR HERE*** GUICtrlSetState? I dont know! ALSO TRYING TO FIND WAY TO MAKE IT SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO DELETE IT AND SET STYLES AGAIN..
EndFunc

    Case $get = $menu_item5
        If BitAnd(GUICtrlRead($menu_item5),$GUI_CHECKED) = $GUI_CHECKED then
            GUICtrlSetState($menu_item5, $GUI_UNCHECKED)
            WordWrapOff ()
        Else
            GUICtrlSetState($menu_item5, $GUI_CHECKED)
            WordWrapOn ()
        EndIf

pretend all the variables are declared though...although it still seems a bit buggy but im going to fix it..

EDIT: fixed something in script..
