Checked menu items with associated icons
« on: November 24, 2012, 11:33:11 pm »
In Delphi, it is possible to distinguish when a menu item having an icon is checked or not. This is not true for Lazarus. The icon is always drawn in the same way, and it is not possible to tell from the menu item whether it is checked or not. If the menu item does not have an icon a checkmark is drawn as expected.

Is there a simple fix for this behavior, or should I report this as a bug?

Each menu item has property "ShowAlwaysCheckable". When it is True, then checkbox is always drawn.
Also, I don't agree that  icon is always drawn in the same way. It is a little different (at least here on Qt). Icon of checked menuitem has other (lowered) background.

On Windows the checked state cannot be identified from the icon even if ShowAlwaysCheckable is true (which does not seem to have any effect).
