  Lookup SetMenuItemInfo, MENUITEMINFO, and MFS_CHECKED on MSDN.

  The MFC way is not to manipulate the menu directly. There is a so called OnCommand Handler and OnUpdateCommand handelr technique.

  In the OnUpdate Handler of your command just use pCmdUI->SetCheck(m_bMyState);

  Thanks guys for all the help. I tried both the ways you suggested but neither one worked, but they did get me going in the right direction and I found that this way did work:
  
  CWnd::OnContextMenu()...
  
  CMenu menu;
  menu.LoadMenu(IDR_POPUP_MENU);
  
  CMenu *popupMenu = menu.GetSubMenu(0);
  popupMenu->CheckMenuItem(ID_DOCKED, MF_BYCOMMAND | (isDocked MF_CHECKED : MF_UNCHECKED));
  
  
  Thanks again for all the help.
