MenuItem problems

[teamdad]

I am having a problem with getting a menu item to check or uncheck. Any suggestions on what's going wrong with this? It obviously keeps the form on top of other windows when I can get it working.

 

Private Sub MenuItem3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MenuItem3.Click

 

If MenuItem3.Checked = False Then

 

Me.TopMost = False

 

Else

 

MenuItem3.Checked = True

 

Me.TopMost = True

 

End If

 

End Sub

 

 

 

Thanks in advance for those that reply

You will also need to check / uncheck the item yourself.

 

   Private Sub MenuItem3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MenuItem3.Click
       MenuItem3.Checked = Not MenuItem3.Checked

       If MenuItem3.Checked = False Then

           Me.TopMost = False

       Else

           MenuItem3.Checked = True

           Me.TopMost = True

       End If

   End Sub

Shouldn't you be making the checkmark inside of the If statement, and making it False in the Else statement?

Also, you could just use

MenuItem3.Checked = Not MenuItem3.Checked

:).

Actually, the method used by PlausiblyDamp is pretty cool!!! You could put that into a loop and go through all the menu items quickly.

In fact you could reduce my code down to

Private Sub MenuItem3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MenuItem3.Click
MenuItem3.Checked = Not MenuItem3.Checked
Me.TopMost = MenuItem3.Checked 
End Sub
