Cannot check menu items checked isn't correctly

[mark103]

Hi guys,

I need your help, as I have a bit of troubleshoot with the source code. When I clicked on the menuitem1 to set the menuitem1 checked to true, and when I click on the button, the messagebox is show up on my screen that says "menuitem1 checked is set to true". so when I clicked on the menuitem2 to set the menuitem1 checked as false and set menuitem2 checked as true, and when I click on the button to get messagebox that says "menuitem2 checked is set to true" but I have got the same first messagebox as I have got when I first clicked on the button. If I click the menuitem2 to get the messagebox that says "menuitem2 checked is set to true", it would not make any difference due to the source code that acting like a loop.



Here it is:

#include "StdAfx.h"
#include "Form2.h"
#include "Form1.h"

using namespace MyApplication;


System::Void Form2::button1_Click(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e)
{
  Form1 ^form1 = gcnew Form1();
  if (form1->menuItem1->Checked == true)
  {
    MessageBox::Show("menuitem1 checked is set to true");
  }
  if (form1->menuItem2->Checked == true)
  {
    MessageBox::Show("menuitem2 checked is set to true");
  }
}

Anyone who would give me advice to get this resolve, I would be much appreciate.

Thanks,
Mark

This is not standard C++. Is it Microsoft managed C++? I haven't used that in a while.

You need to post a small program that one can build in order for someone to help you in a reasonably way. You haven't provided enough information for anyone to help.

Why do you create a new form here? -> Form1 ^form1 = gcnew Form1();
Don't you want to check the menu items of your existing form?
Perhaps something like this:

  if (menuItem1->Checked == true)
  {
    MessageBox::Show("menuitem1 checked is set to true");
  }
  if (menuItem2->Checked == true)
  {
    MessageBox::Show("menuitem2 checked is set to true");
  }

Because that's I want to check the menu items from form2 event I am not using existing form.

If i use this:

if (form1->menuItem1->Checked == true)
  {
    MessageBox::Show("menuitem1 checked is set to true");
  }
  if (form1->menuItem2->Checked == true)
  {
    MessageBox::Show("menuitem2 checked is set to true");
  }

I will always getting the messagebox that says menuitem1 checked is set to true when the menuitem1 checked doesn't exist.

Any idea?
