Checked menu item state

I am using a SmartMeneBar, to which I have added a CheckMenuItem. I set the Checked property to “true” in the Properties pane at design time.

Why doesn’t this code toggle the display of the checkmark for this menu item?

private void mnuTOC_Click(object sender, Xceed.SmartUI.SmartItemClickEventArgs e)
{
mnuTOC.Checked = !mnuTOC.Checked;
}

Whenever I view the menu item, it has the checkmark (as set in design view). When I debug the event fires, however the test is always “false” on event entry, and “true” on exit.

This event is raised when the CheckMenuItem is selected, and the behavior of this event is exactly to toggle the checkmark. So you don’t need to toggle it yourself, it will do it for you.

And this is why you get the behavior you are experimenting, because the Checked property is already toggled once it gets to your code in the event.
