Hi Justin!
Thanks for your reply and thanks for your snippet!
The best idea seems to be to stick with creating menus through the cmds
module. I will run the command directly on the optionbox click. I agree
that it is not that descriptive, but it will be fine for what I am doing.
Below is a test snippet I did based on your code.
Again, thanks!
Best Regards,
Johan
from functools import partial
import maya.cmds as cmds
import maya.mel as mm
if cmds.menu('MayaWindow|my_menu_root', exists=1):
cmds.deleteUI('MayaWindow|my_menu_root')
# Attach a callback to the option box
def optionbox_click(item, *args):
print('Deleted ', item)
if cmds.menuItem(item, exists=1):
cmds.deleteUI(item)
def item_click(item, *args):
print('Do something with ', item)
# ref to maya main menu
gMainWindow = mm.eval('$win=$gMainWindow')
# create my root menu
root_menu = cmds.menu('my_menu_root', label='My menu root',
parent=gMainWindow)
# add menu items
for x in range(5):
# create item
my_item = cmds.menuItem('item_{0}'.format(x), label='Item
{0}'.format(x), parent=root_menu)
# add menu item & optionbox handlers
cmds.menuItem(my_item, e=True, stp='python', c=partial(item_click,
my_item))
my_item_ob = cmds.menuItem(optionBox=True, c=partial(optionbox_click,
my_item))
