Posting these for my (and anybody else’s) edification – the help docs only get you so far, especially when the nitty gritty of actually *doing* something is more complicated.
Get current shelf:
import maya.cmds as cmds
import maya.mel as mel
gShelfTopLevel = mel.eval('$temp1=$gShelfTopLevel')
print cmds.tabLayout(gShelfTopLevel, query=True, st=True)
Install a menu in the main window menubar:
import maya.cmds as cmds
import maya.mel as mel
gMainWindow = maya.mel.eval('$temp1=$gMainWindow')
oMenu= cmds.menu(parent=gMainWindow, tearOff = True, label = 'MyLabel')
subMenu= cmds.menuItem(parent=oMenu, label='mySubMenu', subMenu=True)
cmds.menuItem(parent=subMenu, label='MenuItem1', c='somePythonProc()')
Interfaces
This is quite handy.
