GtkCheckMenuItem

[Wasim Jaffer <jaffer_w yahoo co in>]

Hi,
 evrybody. I am using  gtk_check_menu_item_set_active
 to show the selection/dselection of a item in the 
 menu bar (using GtkItemFactory, taken from the
example 
 in gtk tutorial).

 I am bit confused on  
 gtk_check_menu_item_set_active(menuitem,gboolean
is_active), 

 As the name suggest it should set the menu item to 
 active / inactive. Does this also check whether the  
menuitem is active or not? 

 In my application I am facing a strange error 
 where i need to toggle my menuitem . But somehow 
 the code goes into a recursion and then fails.

 I saw  calling  gtk_check_menu_item_set_active()  
also calls the  callback associated with the menuitem.
 

why ??? shuld not it only make the item
ticked/non-ticked. How to avoid the recursion .
 
would appreciate any kind of help .

Thanks
wasim
