Kevin,

Wouldn't it just be easier to reference the desired programming. Further, if it's part of the VFP system menu (such as Cut, Copy, etc.), you can activate these with SYS(1500).

Just a little more info for you on GetMenuItemID(). Using your code, you'll get a handle to the main VFP menu. When you call GetMenuItemID(), you'll get back -1. This means that there's a sub-menu involved. For example, using the handle returned from GetMenu(), if you call GetMenuItemCount(), you should get back 8 in some circumstances. This would correspond with the File, Edit, View, Format, Tools, Program, Window, and Help.

You'd then need to call GetSubMenu() in order to get a handle to the particular menu pad item.

This help?
