I've got a simple menu, created it in the resource editor and made it the
menu for my main Dialog window. (CRSMDlg)

How do I get my menu to display a check / tick box next to the item when I
click on it. I tried adding the ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI event handler but no
matter what I do the menu item is not "ticked"  :

void CRSMDlg::OnUpdateOps(CCmdUI *pCmdUI) {
    pCmdUI->SetCheck(1);

}

Is there an update / repaint method I must call, some property I must set on
the Dialog box to inform it ?

Also I found that the shortcut keys does not display when you click on File,
but if you keep the ALT button , then only it displays it - can we switch
this behaviour off ?

void CMenuDlg::OnMnuChk_Click()
{
 CMenu * cm = GetMenu();
 if( cm->CheckMenuItem( IDR_MNU_CHK, MF_CHECKED ) == 0 ) {
  cm->CheckMenuItem( IDR_MNU_CHK, MF_CHECKED );
 } else {
  cm->CheckMenuItem( IDR_MNU_CHK, MF_UNCHECKED );
 }
 UpdateData( false );
}
