Setting the menuitem_state to ekGUI_OFF causes the drop down menu to stop showing

[jackybek]

I have a top-menu: Project, View, Server, Document, Settings, Help

Under View, i have menu items : Project, Address Space, Log, Attributes. Upon startup, I set the menuitem_state to ekGUI_ON to show a tick against Project, Address Space,Log, Attributes. I also create flyout windows for these 4 items. Upon program start, i create these 4 flyouts and set the menuitem_state to ekGUI_ON.

When I close the flyout Project by selecting the menuitem again, the window disappears (hides itself).

I now want to set the menuitem_state to ekGUI_OFF. But the entire drop menu (Project, Address, Space, Log, Attributes) cannot be shown anymore.

If i remove the instruction to set the menuitem_state to ekGUI_OFF (meaning the tick still remains even after hiding the flyout), the error goes away.
