Send WM_GETTEXT and WM_SETTEXT messages to it, like I suggested earlier.

You don't.  What you need to do instead is determine the ID of the menu item 
you are interested in executing, and then send a WM_COMMAND message to the 
menu's owner window.

Look at the FindWindow/Ex() and EnumChildWindows() functions.  Start with 
the top-level window of the app and drill down its parent-child trees until 
you find the particular child control that you want to interact with.
