You can just send WME's window WM_COMMAND messages
corresponding to the menu items and you can find out the
item IDs using the Spy tool in the free Platform SDK or the
Spy++ tool in VisualStudio.
The System.Windows.Forms.Message struct wraps a Windows
message but I don't know of any managed SendMessage() and
FindWindow() wrappers so you need to call SendMessage() in
User32.dll via P/Invoke to send the message and FindWindow()
to find the HWND of the window.
