Nice find.  Only one small issue.  When clicking the menu, it does not close the context menu.

Example()

Func Example()
  Local $hWnd = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:SciTEWindow]")
  Local $hCtrl = ControlGetHandle($hWnd, "", "Scintilla1")
  _WinAPI_PostMessage($hWnd, $WM_CONTEXTMENU, $hCtrl, 0x00E000E0)
  Local $hContext = WinWait("[CLASS:#32768]")
  Local $hMenu = _SendMessage($hContext, $MN_GETHMENU)
  Local $iItem = _GUICtrlMenu_FindItem($hMenu, "Select All")
  Local $ItemID = _GUICtrlMenu_GetItemID($hMenu, $iItem)
  ConsoleWrite($ItemID & @CRLF)
  _SendMessage($hWnd, $WM_COMMAND, $ItemID, 0)
  WinClose($hContext)
EndFunc

Tested on standard menu, it works perfectly. No issue.

So you should consider just adding context window handle as a parameter of your function.

Thanks @Nine for testing.

I am not a coder so opinion of the forum members is important.

while searching forum on UI Automation, i found  Automating Notepad - Classic  post of @LarsJ    

So basically I did not find anything 😅 .

& for context menu closing

If WinExists($hContext) Then WinClose($hContext)

Well. You made the association that _GUICtrlMenu_GetItemID is equal to the CmdID required in the message.  So no need to hardcode the ID now.  Congrats for that.

Moved to the appropriate forum, as the Developer General Discussion forum very clearly states:

@JLogan3o13

If you read the first post I wasn't asking for help.
So instead of moving here you could move the post to AutoIt Example Scripts section.
Anyway it’s not that important so forget it.

@jugador For it not being important you sure are acting as if someone kicked your dog instead of accidentally moving a thread to the wrong forum. Moved again, let's hope this makes it all better for you.

@JLogan3o13 meticulous observation 👏 👏 👏 well done 👍.

Now you can click Menu or Sub menu by ID
for instance you can click "SciTE Export As HTML..." option just by ID.
Just use __GUICtrlMenu_GetID to get the ID of the menu & that’s it.
1st post updated with example & GUICtrlMenuClick.udf

Nice idea to recurse the menu tree to find a leaf. 

FWIW :

1- It is kind of strange to see those prefixes to your variable names, consider using Best Coding Practices.

2- I think you should use _SendMessage instead of _WinAPI_PostMessage as it "returns without waiting for the thread to process the message".  SendMessage waits until the thread has processes the request.  It is more in line with the objective of the click menu IMO.
