Report-designer: Menu Items have wrong Check Mark

rbuser

This is a UI bug:

Menu Items mniReportPortrait, mniReportLandscape, mniPassSettingOnePass &
mniPassSettingTwoPass are all radio-items, so their RadioItem property
should be True.

It is really confusing to have checkmarks dissappear without touching the
mark.

Also bugs:

- mniReportUnitsScreenPixels
- mniReportUnitsPrinterPixels
- mniReportUnitsInches
- mniReportUnitsMillimeters
- mniReportUnitsMMThousandths

Rick,

Thanks for the feedback. The reason these menu items act like radio button
items is based on the fact that they are mutually exclusive. We welcome any
suggestions on how to make this easier to understand.

Nico,

You can read about Microsoft's guidelines here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnwue/html/ch08b.asp

Mutually exclusive menu items should show they are mutually exclusive. You
can read about this in the above linked document. So in D7,
MenuItem.RadioItem := True and in D8, MenuItem.RadioCheck := True.

Now I am forced to write my own component that changes these properties for
our own end-users.

Thank you for the information. I will research this and get back to you
asap.
