GUIGetMsg doesnt return anything with just the menu, you need the sub menus...

Also, the menu doesnt return a control ID (via MouseGetPos()) unlike the normal controls

This'll probly be the best youll get:

$Gui = GUICreate("beef", 100, 100)
$Menu = GUICtrlCreateMenu("File")
$Open = GUICtrlCreateMenuitem("Open File", $Menu)
$Close = GUICtrlCreateMenuitem("Close", $Menu)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $Open
            FileOpenDialog("Choose a file.", @HomeDrive, "(*.*)")
        Case $Close
            Exit
    EndSwitch
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

But what do I know.
