There are a couple of ways, you can use the Application.GetMenu which will return a table with the contents of the menu. You can then modify that table and then use Application.SetMenu to reload that menu back into the application. There is also a global function g_OnUpdateMenuCheck I think is the name of the function. You can use that to modify the menu on the fly.

See an example from Desmond here.

Here is a sample using the built-in function.

Look in the global function to see two functions that control whether the menu item will be checked or not. The global function g_OnUpdateMenuCheck is called for each item in the menu looking to see if there is a true or false value and checks that item according to the returned value. This simple project will check the only item in the second menu if there is text selected.
