Re: Fl_Menu_Item callback value "lifeatt... May 15, 2022  
  I went through this conundrum myself recently.

Here is my callback:

void cb_ShowPreview(Fl_Widget *w, void *)
{
    const Fl_Menu_Item *mi = ((Fl_Menu_ *)w)->mvalue();
    auto v = mi->checked();  
    togglePreview(v != 0);
}

As you can hopefully see, the widget passed to the callback is the MENU, not the MENU-ITEM.

I have a Fl_Menu_Button with some menu items inside it. The menu items look like this:
{ {"label", 0, reinterpret_cast<Fl_Callback*>(callback), 0, FL_MENU_TOGGLE}, {nullptr}}
... 

For whatever reason, it always returns FL_MENU_VALUE (4), regardless of whether I checked or unchecked the box. From the docs it says it should return 0 if the item is not checked. Where have I gone wrong?
