Bob, you need to use "!c" before the menu item to set the checkmark, but if it's an Option menu or a Combo Box the checkmark will not work.

Hi all.

API says that setting the checkmark of a menu item will have no effect. Is 
there a way to do it then?? Shouldn't there be??

I can put numtocodepoint(baseConvert("2713",16,10)) & space before the item, 
but it moves the text of the menu item to the right, instead of justifying it the way the 
menu should do. I want to represent the toggling of the item.

When I set the markChar of the menuItem it also has no effect. When I do this 
in the Menu Builder, it puts an exclamation point and a c before the menu item, 
but it doesn't display like a checkmark, it only puts the exclamation mark and 
c before the actual test of the menu item.
