I think the request is not only a child sub-menu checked but also the parent. If this is the case, the answer seems to be no you cannot. Which I agree is a bit odd as it would certainly help to track down checked sub-menus when you cannot see them, but then Apple is trying to abolish hierarchical menus anyway.
I believe the reason you can't is that no event gets fired by releasing on the parent, isn't that correct?
If so, I don't think it would qualify as a "bug" since AFAIK, menus aren't *supposed* to work that way.
That's correct -- on the Mac (not sure about Windows), disabled and sub-menu items are always considered unselectable, i.e. when you release on a disabled menu item or on a sub-menu item, no menu item is chosen or reported.
You can, using the Mac toolbox directly (i.e. not via RR), see if a sub-menu or disabled item has been selected by calling another function, MenuChoice(). That function was added so that things like Help systems could find out if the user had selected a disabled item, or a sub-menu item.
