The menu items are not kept up to date with the state of the menu, but
are more for use of creating menus or for a holding place when fetching
the current state of an item from a menu.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Alas, I tried this, and menuBar.IsChecked is also always
returning False, regardless of the visual state of the check.
It's not such a big deal -- I have things working by keeping
the toggle state in my own variable. But if you have any other
suggestions, I would be glad to try them.
