How to get menu item string from a resource dll?

[G11ntester]

Hi,

I want get item string from a resource dll.  The menu info in PE Explorer is like this: 

101 MENU
LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US
{
POPUP "Popup"
{
    MENUITEM "TEXT1", 1012
    MENUITEM "TEXT2", 1013
    MENUITEM "TEXT3", 1014
    MENUITEM "TEXT4", 1015
}
}

How can I get the string (for example: "Text1") from this dll? Thanks in advance!

I tried function "_GUICtrlMenu_LoadMenu" but could not make it work ...

#include <WinAPI.au3>
$hInstance=_WinAPI_LoadLibrary(@ScriptDir&"\resource.dll")
$hMenu= _GUICtrlMenu_LoadMenu ($hInstance, <what should I use here?>)
$string=_GUICtrlMenu_GetItemInfo($hMenu, 1012??)

Thanks, Yashied! I read through the corresponding functions in WinAPIEx.au3 and descriptions about resource structures on MSDN today, and learned a lot.

And I was awared that you are the author of WinAPIEx.au3, right?  Thanks again for providing these useful WinAPI related functions to us!
