It would be neat if there were a "checked" option of the menu items.
I manually check the UVALUE in my event loop and check and uncheck the
menu items based on that. There's probably a fancier way.

But, here is an example of what I do manually with checking and
unchecking menu items.

;Create Diagnostics Menu
switch_menu = WIDGET_BUTTON(bar_base, Value='Diagnostics', /Menu)
switch_bttn3 = WIDGET_BUTTON(switch_menu, Value='*Time Simulation', $
Uvalue='*Time Simulation')
switch_bttn4 = WIDGET_BUTTON(switch_menu, Value='*Beep When Done', $
Uvalue='*Beep When Done')

Then part of my event loop looks like:

CASE eventval OF
; These menu items act like a toggle switch using '*'

'*Time Simulation': BEGIN
WIDGET_CONTROL, event.id, set_value = 'Time Simulation', $
set_uvalue = 'Time Simulation'
END ; '*Time Simulation'
'*Beep When Done': BEGIN
WIDGET_CONTROL, event.id, set_value = 'Beep When Done', $
set_uvalue = 'Beep When Done'
END ; '*Beep When Done'
'Time Simulation': BEGIN
WIDGET_CONTROL, event.id, set_value = '*Time Simulation', $
set_uvalue = '*Time Simulation'
END ; 'Time Simulation'
'Beep When Done': BEGIN
WIDGET_CONTROL, event.id, set_value = '*Beep When Done', $
set_uvalue = '*Beep When Done'
END ; 'Beep When Done'
ENDCASE

viel Glueck!
