Specifying the Checkmark Status

Initially, the checkmark status for all menu fields is set to OFF. You can have checkmarks displayed in front of the menu field when the menu form is first displayed.

Designer: You can use the Designer to specify the initial checkmark status of a field. If you want to display a checkmark in front of a field when the form is first displayed, select MODIFY->Field->Options, and set the field option MNCHECKSTATUS to ON. See the Designer User's Guide for more information. You can also set the initial checkmark status in code at any time after reading the menu from the Designer library.

Code: If you want to initially display a checkmark in front of the menu field, call the set field options function, sf_opt():

void sf_opt(options, state, mfldp)

long options;

/* Option(s) to change 

*/

int state;

/* Status of option, ON or OFF

*/

MFIELDPTR mfldp;

/* Field to change status of

*/

Specify MNCHECKSTATUS as the option to change, and set the state to ON.
