Where can I get help with a complicated menu problem (API)?
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&t=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,
Jörg

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 <checkmark>"

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

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.
greetings,
Jörg

When I wrote "I am an experienced programmer" that was incorrect: it should have read "I am NOT an experienced programmer"! Apologies - I should read what I am typing!!

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

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