the menu item is probably holding another widget (my guess would
be label) which displays the text.  Try:

p_UIManager->get_widget("some/path")->get_child()->modify_text()
                                      ^^^^^^^^^^^
The item doesn't necessarly hold a label ... you can get an idea
of what's in there with:

p_UIManager->get_widget("some/path")->get_child()->get_name().

Hope this gets you started.
