    Is there a way to make the items in the pull down menu have a check
    button in the front? I read the reference for "hiCreatePulldownMenu"
    but didn't find out how. Thanks!

    Hello,

    I'm wondering what could be the use for such check boxes.

    Hi Sylvain,

    Many software tools are handling this capability. It is a quick way to
    toggle an option as far as I understand. Let's say you want to switch
    on/off the 'axes view' in layout. A menu check box would have allowed
    a quick access to this option rather than opening the options form and
    then click the corresponding button. Well, my thinking is that 'Menu
    check boxes' is handy when you've got a handful of options. But when
    it comes to tools likes Virtuoso, I just think it's worth doing it
    like it does currently. That's a personal feeling.

    Back to the question itself. I don't think this is possible with pull
    down menus as far as I know, at least in IC5141.
    I don't know about IC6 though.

    Riad.
