Tips & Tricks:
Please add some!
Sample Code (C#):
//this.Handle points to the Form (window application project)
int Menu2 = GetMenu(this.Handle.ToInt32());
AppendMenu(Menu2,0xA00,0,null); // makes a separator
AppendMenu(Menu2,0,777,"Pinvoke Rules!");
Sample Code (VB)
Dim hwndMain as IntPtr = FindWindowEx(intptr.Zero,intptr.Zero,vbNullString,"My Window Title") 'Get the Window Handle
Dim hwndSubmenu as intptr = GetSubMenu(hwndMenu,1) 'Get the SubMenuHandle to the visible MenuItem, in this case the second one (counting from zero)
Dim intMID as Integer = GetMenuitemID(hwndSubmenu,2)) 'Get the MenuItemID of the third SubMenu under the previous Handle (counting from zero)
Sendmessage(hwndxt, WM_COMMAND, intmid, 0) 'Click the MenuItem!

An IntPtr is a pointer to a memory location (unmanaged) that adapts to the platform it is running on (64-bit, etc.) UNLIKE a standard int/Integer. You should always use this type for unmanaged calls that require it, even though an int will appear to work on your development machine.
