@defclass/title[checkable-menu-item% object% (selectable-menu-item<%>)]{
A @scheme[checkable-menu-item%] is a string-labelled menu item that
maintains a check mark. Its parent must be a @scheme[menu%] or
@scheme[popup-menu%]. When the user selects the menu item, the
item's check mark is toggled and its callback procedure is called.

Creates a new menu item in @scheme[parent]. The item is initially
shown, appended to the end of its parent, and unchecked. The
@scheme[callback] procedure is called (with the event type
@indexed-scheme['menu]) when the menu item is selected (either via a
menu bar, @xmethod[window<%> popup-menu], or @xmethod[editor-admin%
popup-menu]).
See @method[labelled-menu-item<%> set-label] for information about
mnemonic @litchar{&}s in @scheme[label].
If @scheme[shortcut] is not @scheme[#f], the item has a shortcut. See
@method[selectable-menu-item<%> get-shortcut] for more information.
The @scheme[shortcut-prefix] argument determines the set of modifier
keys for the shortcut; see @method[selectable-menu-item<%>
get-shortcut-prefix].
If @scheme[help] is not @scheme[#f], the item has a help string. See
@method[labelled-menu-item<%> get-help-string] for more information.
The @scheme[demand-callback] procedure is called by the default
@method[labelled-menu-item<%> on-demand] method with the object itself.
By default, the menu item is initially unchecked. If @scheme[checked]
is true, then @method[checkable-menu-item% check] is called so that
the menu item is initially checked.
}
@defmethod[(check [check? any/c])
void?]{
Checks or unchecks the menu item.
@MonitorCallbackX[@elem{A menu item's check state} @elem{the user selecting the item} @elem{check state} @elem{menu item}]
}
@defmethod[(is-checked?)
boolean?]{
Returns @scheme[#t] if the item is checked, @scheme[#f] otherwise.
