Checked Menu Items

[PDB1982]

I am able to have checked menu items show the variables that I need to show, but they don't uncheck themselves unless I go back and click them. I want to have only one checkmark on a country at a time...is there any way? I've tried if...elseif , but that doesn't work....example below (If I only want Mexico checked and NOT United States, but both are checked still).

If MexicoToolStripMenuItem.CheckState = CheckState.Checked Then
   UnitedStatesToolStripMenuItem.CheckState=CheckState.Unchecked...
End IF

In the properties window make sure CheckedOnClick equals true for each of the menu items.

Add to your menu item events:

mnuUnitedStates_Click
mnuMexico.Checked = Not mnuUnitedStates.Checked
End Sub

mnuMexico_Click
mnuUnitedStates.Checked = Not mnuMexico.Checked
End Sub

Make sure that all your Country DropDownItems CheckOnClick is True
