Thanks for this nice piece of code!
Strangely right-mouse clicks aren't working here... (Maya 2011 x64)
# MelError: Error during execution of MEL script:
generateChannelMenu("MayaWindow|MainAttributeEditorLayout|formLayout37|AEmenuBarLayout|myHappyBox|popupMenu79",True);
# Line 1.116: Invalid use of Maya object "True".
Anyone can confirm if you can right-click the new channelbox and open the
popup-menu?
