Complex accessing Menu Question

[Joey_k29]

I am righting a macro program to customize a Lotus Notes R5 setup. In order to do this, I am using spy++ and calling objects that need to be selected and filled in. The biggest problem I am running into is my inability to access menu commands. I know menu's have handles, but how do you find the handle of say File Open and select that option. I do not want to use sendkeys because sendkeys has caused some minor problems before. If you know how to do this, I would greatly appreciate your help.

The best help I can give is to go to http://www.codehound.com/

This is a programming search engine. It will conduct a search for you over multiple programming web sites. It did that, and put 'menu handle' (without the apostrophes) in the Search For box, and got back several hits. I'd suggest trying that and see if any of these hits can get you going.

None of the searches returned an answer to my question. Once again I am trying to simulate the selection of something in the menu. How would you do this? Is there an api call for it? Thank you for your help.
