# Package Gtk.Check`_`Menu`_`Item

A Gtk_Check_Menu_Item is a menu item that maintains the state of a boolean value in addition to a Gtk_Menu_Item's usual role in activating application code.

A check box indicating the state of the boolean value is displayed at the left side of the Gtk_Menu_Item. Activating the Gtk_Menu_Item toggles the value.
