MenuItem Click Event with API

[mbu]

So far I can find the exact MenuItem ("&Close") from the "File" menu using the GetMenu, GetSubMenu, GetMenuItemCount and loop through the content of a "File" SubMenu. Now that I found the "&Close" MenuItem (confirmes by the GetMenuString, I want to "simulate" a "Click."

Since the MenuItem has it's ID from GetMenuItemID, how can I find the handle so that I can SendMessage or PostMessage.

Thank you for your time,
Mark

SendMessage(
				hWnd /*Owner of menu*/,
				WM_COMMAND, /*Windows receive this on a menu click*/
				(WPARAM)MAKEWPARAM(menuID,0), /*Make with the menu ID as the low word*/
				(LPARAM)NULL
			);

Thank you for your kind reply!!!

The program that I am trying to control has the handel hMainProg. The main Menu has hMenu handle and the Menu ID# 0 is the "File" menu with the handle hFile = GetSubMenu(hMenu, 0). MenuItem ID# 2 in the "File" which has the string "&Close". So, when I want to open the "File" menu, the SendMessage is;

SendMessage(hMainProg, WM_COMMAND, (WPARAM)MAKEWPARAM(0,0), (LPARAM)NULL)

Is it correct?

What if I want to press the "&Close" MenuItem directly?

I forget to mention that I am writing the code in Visual Basic 6.0. I think the code you gave me to try is not in VB and it is not working.

What I posted was Windows API, you'll need to VB-ify it in order to use that. I don't use VB so can't help with that. :-(
