;this is an example how to control the menus of
;other applications the program itself serves no purpose other than
;to show how to do it. when this program starts up it will
;open notepad and list all the menus and their handles
;when you select an item in the list box and click send message
;it will operate the menu of notepad, you can try other apps
;by entering the window title and clicking analyse menu
;the window title must be exactly as shown except case doesnt matter
;EXAMPLE open Windows calculator type in calculator and click analyse menu the items
;will then be listed NOTE changing the view(standard/scientific) will
;change the handle so you need to reanalyse the menu to get new handle
;manually resizing has no affect
