[wxPython-users] Checkable items in popup menus

I would like to add that manually checking and unchecking them by doing
something like this works fine. 

        item = menu.AppendCheckItem(wx.NewId(), "Emailbenachrichtigung")
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_MENU, self.OnLdapSendmailClick, item)
        item.Check()
        self.menuItemLdapSendmail = item


    def OnLdapSendmailClick(self, event):
        self.menuItemLdapSendmail.Check(not self.menuItemLdapSendmail.IsChecked())


If someone knows how to prevent a popup menu from "popping down" :-) when clicking
a menu item (especially checkable ones), any hints would be much appreciated.

cheers, Alex
