How do I implement menu items with state?

How do I implement menu items with state in a Word add-in?

I am talking about something similar to the check-mark near the displayed toolbars or the square around the layout options on the "view" menu.

Hi

If we just want to enable the Checked mark, we just need to set the State
to msoButtonDown. If we need a picture like the layout, we need also load
a picture.
Here is some VBA code for your reference.
Sub Test()
On Error Resume Next
Dim o As CommandBarButton
Set o = Application.CommandBars("View").Controls.Add(msoControlButton)
o.Caption = "Caption"
o.State = msoButtonDown
o.Picture = stdole.LoadPicture("c:\test.bmp")
End Sub

Thank you Peter,

The State property was exactly what I needed.
I did not have to use a picture, since it displays a check-mark if there is no button face, or draws a border around the face if there is one.
