Problem with Menu.append_check_item()

Menu.append_check_item(), like Menu.append(), is supposed to return a
reference to the created menu item. Here is a test code which seems to
show
that this behavior works for append(), but fails for
append_check_item().
This is the output I get:

% ruby test-menu.rb
#Wx::MenuItem:0xb74c036c
nil

Am I missing something or is this a bug? Both menu items are created
and
work as expected. I am running the 1.9.2 tarball.

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

begin
require ‘wx’
rescue LoadError => no_wx_err
begin
require ‘rubygems’
load ‘wx’
rescue
raise no_wx_err
end
end
include Wx

class MinimalFrame < Wx::Frame
def initialize(title)
# The main application frame has no parent (nil)
super(nil, :title => title, :size => [ 700, 400 ])

menu_bar = Wx::MenuBar.new

menu_file = Wx::Menu.new
item1 = menu_file.append(1000, "Test Item 1")
item2 = menu_file.append_check_item(1001, "Test Checked Item")

puts item1
puts item2

menu_bar.append(menu_file, "Test1")
self.menu_bar = menu_bar

end
end

Wx::App.run do
self.app_name = ‘Minimal’
frame = MinimalFrame.new(“Minimal wxRuby App”)
frame.show
end

Thanks,
Bob

Thank you for the report and the clear test-case. It’s a bug; the wrong
C++ method signature was in one of the header files from which the API
is generated.

It’s now fixed by SVN:1486 for the next release. If you need to work
around n the interim, you should can use the long form of append_item
and give Wx::ITEM_CHECK as the fourth parameter.
