This does not seem to work on my system. I need to confirm this. Could you code a menu please which has a list of radio buttons, and make it work on your system, and then have me try the code. That way I can know if I am doing something incorrectly. No example I could find so far has menu items which are radio buttons.

It looks like the wrapper for wxMenuItem wasn't quite right. It was only allowing checkable or not. I've just updated svn to correct this (you'll need to rebuild the dll/so), and added a radio menu to menu_demo.exw.

Thanks. I decided to use side by side panels like my original application (in Windows). I do not like menus, since it is less direct UI. However. I am glad I found something which could be fixed.
I am definitely going with wxWidgets. I had some odd things with the GTK. What makes my application unique is that I am going to be doing all of my drawing in Cairo. This is the direction GTK is taking anyway. They are depreciating GDK drawing, so that part of wxWidgets will probably change as well.
Euphoria is the best programmers language out there. I mean there are some things I prefer to do in C, but I really do not like C + +. But I wonder why Euphoria did not catch on like Python and Ruby and PHP and these other languages.

No matter how good Euphoria is and no matter how good wxEuphoria is, Euphoria and wxEuphoria will not fly until the installation of these are automated. By 'automated' I mean for example put into *.deb form and put into the Ubuntu repository.
For example with Ubuntu, go to Ubuntu Software Centre, click on Developer Tools. I see Lisp, OCaml, Perl, Python, Ruby. I don't see Euphoria.
While in Developer Tools, click on Libraries. Search wx. I don't see wxEuphoria.
Put both Euphoria and wxEuphoria in Ubuntu Software Centre and then probably both will fly.
