xsi = Application
ad = xsi.Desktop.ActiveLayout
for N in ad.Views:
if N.Type == "Menu Window":
print N.GetAttributeValue("metadata")
This will return the name of the Menu Window...don't ask how I found that,
pure luck.
I now realize even getting the name won't be enough to know it's part of my
menu. If someone tears off a sub-menu for instance, the name will not be
the same name as the original Menu name.
