How to repaint a Tpopmenu in Delphi?

I need to change the text of a TMenuItem in Delphi 7, when the popup menu is already popped up.

My popup menu has 

OwnerDraw := true;

I'd like to use:

popupmenu.repaint();

or

popupmenu.refresh();

but they do not exist. How can I do it?

You can call MenuChanged on the menu item to force it to be updated. This is a protected member to you need to gain access to that member by the well-known protected member hack.

type
  THackedMenuItem = class(TMenuItem);
....
THackedMenuItem(MyMenuItem).MenuChanged(True);//forces redraw of owner drawn item
