Many of the game options have a key attached to it. For example I for Inventory. E for equipment.. and double click on shop to open up shop menu..

How do i open these menu automatically. Do i need to scan the address? and how?

much appreciated.

Send the window message to it using PostMessage function.

Depends on the game, it might have a openInventory() function, in which case you could just inject some code and call the function, or send a WM_KEYDOWN WM_KEYUP with the VK_E parameter.

scan unknown initial value, open the menu the normal way, scan changed value, close it, scan changed value, and so forth.

Until you find the address and there is in fact an address, I worked on something like this not so long ago, the value happened to be 100.

This can be easily done without involving memory. So why complicate things. My suggestion is to use SendInput or PostMessage -> WM_KEYDOWN / WM_KEYUP. You can make sure that the window recieves this message by focusing it. (Sorry, I haven't programmed for a long time, search up on MSDN)

message handlers are typically quite trivial to find because of GetWindowLong with DWL_DLGPROC. ie. if it can be done with send/postmessage then finding the code that is triggered from a particular message tends to take little effort
