Remove menu item in Maya using Python
How can I remove a menu item from the main window using Python? It works for me using MEL, but I need it in Python too.
The part that doesn't work is this find menu if exists and delete
. I can't seem to find an equivalent in Python.
Python (doesn't work)
import maya.cmds as cmds
if(???)
{
#cmds.deleteUI('JokerMartini', menu=True )
}
cmds.menu(label='JokerMartini', tearOff=True, p='MayaWindow')
cmds.menuItem(label='Action 1', c= 'something.run()')
cmds.menuItem(divider=True)
cmds.menuItem(label='Action 2', c= 'something.run()')
Mel (working)
if('menu -exists JokerMartini')
{
deleteUI JokerMartini;
}
global string $gMainWindow;
setParent $gMainWindow;
menu -label "JokerMartini" -to true -aob true JokerMartini;
menuItem -label "Action 1" -command "something";
menuItem -label "Rename..." -command "something";

Here's an approach for creating a main menu item:
import maya.cmds as mc
menuJM = "JM"
labelMenu = "JokerMartini"
mc.menu(menuJM, l=labelMenu, to=1, p='MayaWindow')
mc.menuItem(l='Action 1', c='something.run()')
mc.menuItem(d=True)
mc.menuItem(l='Action 2', c='something.run()')
And to remove you have to use this approach:
if mc.menu(menuJM, l=labelMenu, p='MayaWindow') != 0:
mc.deleteUI(mc.menu(menuJM, l=labelMenu, e=1, dai=1, vis=1))
mc.deleteUI(menuJM)
mc.refresh()
Hope this helps.
