Hi.

I'm making a MUI gui for UAE4all, i never used MUI before, and i have a problem to get a checkmark object working as i expect. I try to open a MUI window that have some checkmarks selected as default, but i don't receive the first event when i try to press it to unselect it, after this first action i receive the events properly. If this checkmark isn't selected as default, then all events are received without problems. I'm making something wrong probably but i can't find the reason.

This is the code i have used, i have defined a notify to the app and i didn't recceive the first event.

Code:
```
Child, autofskip = MUI_MakeObject(MUIO_Checkmark, NULL),
..........
DoMethod((Object*)autofskip,MUIM_Set,MUIA_Selected,TRUE,(Object*)app,0);	DoMethod((Object*)autofskip,MUIM_Notify,MUIA_Pressed,MUIV_EveryTime,(Object*)app,2,MUIM_Application_ReturnID,ID_AUTO_FRAMESKIP);
	
```
With this code i have the same problem.

Code:
```
Child, autofskip = CheckMark(TRUE),
.........
DoMethod((Object*)autofskip,MUIM_Notify,MUIA_Pressed,MUIV_EveryTime,(Object*)app,2,MUIM_Application_ReturnID,ID_AUTO_FRAMESKIP);
	
```
Any help?

You must use MUIA_Selected and not MUIA_Pressed when dealing with a checkbox.

MUIA_Pressed should only used for button object notifications.

Beside that is using ReturnID a bad behaviour. Better create a proper subclass and notify a class internal method.

I had defined a notify to change automaticly the state of other buttons, and it had the same problem with the first event, but after changing the notification to MUIA_Selected, it works properly, thanks you!
