[python-win32] Using win32 Function GetMenuItemInfo

[Mark Hammond]

Check out win32gui_struct, and the PackMENUITEMINFO/UnpackMENUITEMINFO
functions.  You should make sure you have pywin32-202 - it has been enhanced
over the last few version.  PackMENUITEMINFO provides you with a mutable
buffer to pass to the function, and Unpack takes that same buffer
(presumably after being modified by a Windows call) and extract back the
fields.
