Applications can get and set the state of these attributes by sending MM_QUERYITEMATTR and MM_SETITEMATTR messages.

These menu item attributes are available:

MIA_HILITED

The state of this attribute is TRUE, if and only if, the item is selected.
MIA_CHECKED
If this attribute is TRUE, a check mark appears next to the item (submenu only).
MIA_DISABLED
This attribute is TRUE if the item is disabled and cannot be selected. The item is drawn in a disabled state.
MIA_FRAMED
If this attribute is TRUE, a frame is drawn around the item (top-level menu only).
MIA_NODISMISS
If the item is selected, the submenu remains down. A menu with this attribute is not hidden until the application or user explicitly does so, for example by selecting either another menu on the action bar or by pressing the escape key.
