It would be great if Fl_Menu_ had an overloaded method that would return a menu item pointer (and menu() index) given a menu "pathname", eg:

    // Returns pointer
    Fl_Menu_Item *item = menubar->find_item("Edit/Copy");
    if ( item ) item->deactivate();

    // Returns index
    int index = menubar->find_item("Edit/Copy");
    if ( index != -1 ) {
        Fl_Menu_Item *item = (Fl_Menu_Item*)&(menubar->menu()[index]);

Note: only the Fl_Menu_Item * method was implemented, as you can't overload return values (or at least GCC 3.x doesn't let you).

Fixed in CVS - the anonymous CVS repository will be updated at midnight PST.
