Remarks

Use the FindItem method to retrieve a MenuItem object from the Menu control. To retrieve the MenuItem object, you must specify a menu path to the menu item. The menu path is a string of delimited values that form the path from a root menu item to the current menu item. To determine the delimiter character, use the PathSeparator property.
