Syntax

Description

This command places a check mark on the specified line of a menu instance to show that the option has been selected. You specify the menu instance name and the number of the menu line you want to check.

You can remove the check mark with Uncheck menu line. If you use this command in a reversible block, the check mark is removed when the method terminates. Nothing happens if the menu instance is not installed on the menu bar.
