-The value 0xFFFFFFFF if the specified item does not exist. If *`nId`* identifies a pop-up menu, the high-order byte contains the number of items in the pop-up menu and the low-order byte contains the menu flags associated with the pop-up menu.

 - `MF_CHECKED` Acts as a toggle with `MF_UNCHECKED` to place the default check mark next to the item. When the application supplies check-mark bitmaps (see the `SetMenuItemBitmaps` member function), the "check mark on" bitmap is displayed.
