# nca_menu_select_item

Menu Object Functions

Selects a menu item.

    int nca_menu_select_item( LPCSTR window, LPCSTR menu;item );

window | The name of the active window.
menu | The logical name of the menu.
item | The item name to select.

The nca_menu_select_item function selects an item from a menu according to the logical name of the menu and the name of the item. Note that menu and item are represented as a single string, and are separated by a semicolon.

When an item is selected from a submenu, each of the consecutive levels of the menus is separated by a semicolon in the format "menu; sub_menu1; sub_menu2;...sub_menun; item." The selected item must be the last item in a menu, for example: nca_menu_select_item ("File"); is not legal, while nca_menu_select_item("File;Open"); is legal.
