Description

The Get menu item command returns the text of the menu item whose menu and item numbers are passed in menu and menuItem. You can pass -1 in menuItem in order to indicate the last item added to menu.

If you omit the process parameter, Get menu item applies to the menu bar for the current process. Otherwise, Get menu item applies to the menu bar for the process whose reference number is passed in process.

Note: If you pass a MenuRef in menu, the process parameter serves no purpose and will be ignored.
