I have a MenuItem structure with the following flags: HIGHCOMP | ITEMENABLED | MENUTOGGLE | ITEMTEXT | CHECKIT | COMMSEQ The problem: MENUTOGGLE seems to work when I select the menu item the first time, but never removes the checkmark (I'm using system default) on subsequent selections. I have Lattice 3.03, and the MENUTOGGLE flag is documented in the Intuition Amiga User Interface errata pages. Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong? Thanks in advance.. Dave Tenny

MENUTOGGLE may well be documented in the errata pages, but unless what i wrote didn't transfer well to the printed page, it was documented as NOT being operational in 1.1. This should clear up your confusion considerably. The fate of this feature is somewhat in doubt right now, for 1.X, but we'll be sure the documentation matches the truth in the future. In the absence of this feature, some people have been modifying their menus after such an item has been selected (don't use CHECKIT) so the item will once read "Thingme On" and next read "Thingme Off." MENUTOGGLE gets a little confusing in context with multiple (drag) selection. Write if you want more followup. jimm
