TMenuItem auto checked with Delphi 5

Question

What is the proper way to create a custom TMenuItem which auto manage his checked property. Remember that once someone will:

myHelloItem.OnClick := helloword;

Then the behavior is lost...

How is that accomplished in Delphi 7?

Two options:

1. You have an AutoCheck property that makes every click toggle the check-mark for that menu item, regardless of the OnClick behavior (although I believe the OnClick implementation can override AutoCheck). Nevertheless it limits functionality.
2. You can inherit TMenuItem and implement your desired behavior in the Click method, the one that calls "OnClick"
