Parameters :

id	int	The menu item identifier.
check	bool	If True, the item will be checked, otherwise it will be unchecked.

Code :

import wx 
  
  
class Example(wx.Frame): 
  
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): 
        super(Example, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) 
  
        self.InitUI() 
  
    def InitUI(self): 
  
        menubar = wx.MenuBar() 
        viewMenu = wx.Menu() 
  
        self.showsb = viewMenu.Append(wx.ID_ANY, 'Show statusbar', 
                                                 'Show Statusbar',  
                                            kind = wx.ITEM_CHECK) 
  
        viewMenu.Check(self.showsb.GetId(), True) 
   
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_MENU, self.shStatusBar, self.showsb) 
  
        menubar.Append(viewMenu, '&View') 
        self.SetMenuBar(menubar) 
  
        self.statusbar = self.CreateStatusBar() 
        self.statusbar.SetStatusText('This is statusbar') 
  
        self.SetSize((450, 350)) 
        self.SetTitle('Check menu item') 
        self.Centre() 
  
  
    def shStatusBar(self, e): 
  
        if self.showsb.IsChecked(): 
            self.statusbar.Show() 
        else: 
            self.statusbar.Hide() 
  
def main(): 
  
    app = wx.App() 
    ex = Example(None) 
    ex.Show() 
    app.MainLoop() 
  
  
if __name__ == '__main__': 
    main()
