What do you think Peter, should I do that at this point in time?

OK, the extension works, but it's only a prototype at the moment and above all 
we had thought about releasing more language localizations.

Hello Jörg,

I have passed the extension you have provided to the person who asked on 
Facebook.


The Answer was:

"Thank you so much! This works perfectly. [...]
I never expected anyone to pay attention to my question, but you did. 
AND you went above and beyond. I am honored and impressed.


I wanted to leave positive feedback for the extension, but I didn't see 
anywhere to do so.


[...]


i'm just incredibly happy to havethe extension. i've been bragging about 
OO to everybody because you paid attention to me and actually had an 
extension created. i think people will be really happy with it once they 
realize that it exists. as a numbers person, it is a must have."


:) Sometimes small features make a difference.

So if you have time please release it on extensions, so she can rate it. 
If you are happy with the version of course.


All the best

Peter

Hello,

Peter had asked me to write a small extension, which I did. For the meaningful 
operation of the extension it would be necessary to be able to set a check mark 
at a, self-defined, menu item.
The question is formulated here more exactly (and the short answer there does 
not help me unfortunately):
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20=105315#p511270


Can someone help me?

My hope is that someone knows who used to work as a programmer at OOo/SUN with 
a focus on menus and can still be contacted today.


greetings,

Hubert Lambert in the second last post gives some BASIC code to modify the item 
name in the menu bar.  This would surely allow you replace the item name with 
"Item Name "

Yes. Thank you, but ...

... this is a similar link I already received in the forum
(https://www.openoffice.org/api/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/awt/XPopupMenu.html)
and unfortunately it is not enough for me to develop a solution myself.

This is not an immediate answer, but I note that the checkmark mechanism is 
available in (inter alia) Writer, on the View menu, for selection of toolbars 
and viewing of Text boundaries and Sidebar.  A quick search threw up this
[url]https://www.openoffice.org/api/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/mozilla/MenuMultipleChange.html[/url]

But I mention that I am an experienced programmer - my programming days were 35 
years ago in Z80 assembler, later in Pascal and Modula.
