I need to force the Edit menu of an external app to dropdown so that it refreshes its submenus' enabled/disabled states, but I need to do this in a way that's transparent to the user (which rules out SendKeys) so that I can check its submenus' states and enable/disable my replica of the menu accordingly. Using PostMessage only selects the menu but doesn't force a dropdown as far as I know. What else can I use??

Thanks a Million,
Wade
