Discussion
In general, this function sets toggles in VDA Tool and Navigator menus. For example, the Options menu toggles found in VDA Tools and the Configure menu toggles found on the Navigator are set with this routine.
A submenu’s index number is the number following its parent menu index.
Separators are counted as items in the menu, and must be included in the item_index specification.
