How to set selected HtmlPanelMenuItem in code

Hi! I'm new to RichFaces.
Managed to build a dynamic PanelMenu in code:

HtmlPanelMenuItem item = (HtmlPanelMenuItem) ctx.getApplication().createComponent(HtmlPanelMenuItem.COMPONENT_TYPE);
item.setLabel(label);

The only problem I have is that I show data for the first menu item, but it is not selected. How do I set the first menu item as selected (cursive font) from code? Tried item.setStyleClass("rich-pmenu-item-selected") but does not seem to work.

Yes, that worked:
menu.setSelectedChild(item.getClientId(ctx));

Thanks.
