What's the best way to open a menu?

[Ioi Lam]

I need to programatically open the menu. I found that neither 
MenuSetActiveMenu() or FrmSetMenu() actually draw the menu on the
screen, so I had to resort to the following hack:

void openMenu()
{
    EventType event;
    Word err;

    event.eType = keyDownEvent;
    event.data.keyDown.chr = vchrMenu;
    event.data.keyDown.keyCode = 0;
    event.data.keyDown.modifiers = 0;

    MenuHandleEvent(0, &event, &err);
}

It seems to work OK. Is this the proper way?

Thanks!
