Thanks Herman. I did have to use the main menu bar widget, but the mvalue() was wrong so I put the Fl_Menu_Item address as the user_data and I changed my callback to
my_function( (bool)((Fl_Menu_Item*)v)->checked()) ); A note to FLTK developers. Please do not get rid of checked() or check(). I do not what else I could do. The menu items are very awkward to work with. > 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.
