Than kfor all the repsonses, but neither of those seem to work:

   HWND hwnd = NULL;
   char buff[101];

   // App with Menu
   hwnd = FindWindowEx(NULL, hwnd, NULL, "Target App");

   HMENU hmenu = GetMenu(hwnd); // Main menu

   MENUITEMINFO menuinfo;
   memset(&menuinfo, 0, sizeof(menuinfo));
   menuinfo.cbSize = sizeof(MENUITEMINFO);
   menuinfo.fMask = MIIM_STRING;
   menuinfo.dwTypeData = NULL;

   // 3rd menu (to right of File menu - File | Edit | Options -
   // gettign the Options menu.)
   GetMenuItemInfo(hmenu, 2, true, &menuinfo);
   menuinfo.dwTypeData = buff;
   if (GetMenuItemInfo(hmenu, 2, true, &menuinfo)) {
      ShowMessage(String(buff)); // Returns "Option"
      SendMessage(hwnd, WM_COMMAND, MAKEWPARAM(menuinfo.wID, 0), 0);
      PostMessage( hwnd, WM_COMMAND, menuinfo.wID, 0);
   }

Either method doesn't seem to do anything.

P.S.

As a little side question, I noticed the String I get (the Menu-item 
caption) always is short a caracter on the end when it has an underlined 
(shortcut) char. Is this a known bug (looks like it doesn't count the 
hidden '&' when counting how many chars and ends up 1 char short in 
length, hence lopping the last one off. Such as above getting "Option" 
with underlined 'O' instead of "Options".)
