Do all of your menu items have exception values associated with them .. if so, the exception value would let you know which menu item has been selected.

Are you using Genmenu or w$menu?

I am having a similar issue with w$menu.  I am trying to inquire the state (checked/unchecked) of a menu item.  My suspicion is that it is not possible to inquire because W$Menu is not really a control.  I hope I am wrong.

I believe you are correct the Menu is not a control  as it is contructed through calls to W$MENU

I did come up with a hack to compensate for this. I used an array to hold the title, state, & exception value then used the array to build the submenu items.  I need this because my users configure what is shown on the menu.  I have no idea what the title will be nor the data that will be displayed when they click on it.  The title equates to a group of fields that they define.
