Thanks a lot, that's good to know. One exclamation mark at too much in the code
I guess :-)
That's funny ... there is a bug in the tear menu window "get attribute" method
It's supposed to return the name of the menu for "targetcontent"
but the instead it returns it if the name of the attribute is anything
except targetcontent.
so you could probably go GetAttributeValue("Luc-Eric") and it would work anyway.
my apologies

This is gold! I'm really curious as to how you found that.
I've been attempting to do more with menus for years, but the SDK
functionality is just not there, and it doesn't seem to have any dev
priority whatsoever.
E.g., there is no method to get rid of factory-installed menu items, or
insert custom menu items between factory-installed ones (can't enumerate
menu items), or is there?
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.

Thanks Luc-Eric.
I am able to find the torn off menu but I'm trying to find the right one.
Using this:
xsi = Application
ad = xsi.Desktop.ActiveLayout
for N in ad.Views:
print N.Name
prints Menu Window. Is there a way to find the title of the torn off
Menu
Window so I can be sure it's the right one I want to close?'

I think you should be able to find the tear off menu view by searching
for the floating window on the desktop, and then close that.
doesn't it apear in the Window menu?
