Ok, reading your code examples again... my_function( (bool)(o->mvalue()->value()) );
This will work only - at least I think, without testing - if the user picked the menu item with the mouse. If you call do_callback() from the Menu_Item directly the parent Fl_Menu_ is not notified to adjust picked() and mvalue(). The Fl_Menu_Item.H code uses do_callback() in a straight forward way: it just calls your defined callback with the provided widget and the user_data as arguments. The Fl_Menu_* you have to provide is the pointer to the menu in which you have defined your Menu_Item so that it finds the static callback, in your case by looking up ((Controls*)(o->parent()->user_data())), where the pointer to the instance of the Fl_Menu_ class is stored. Just give the menu (probably Fl_Menu_Bar) a name in fluid and use this as an argument. I hope this helps.
