[Qgis-developer] Re: Python plugin menu questions

[Marco Hugentobler]

Hi Yves

You are right, QMenu::setVisible has no effect.

A simpler solution might be:

menubar = self.iface.editMenu().parentWidget()
menubar.removeAction(self.iface.editMenu().menuAction())

Like this, you don't depend on the menu position (that is not guaranteed to be 
fixed).

Regards,
Marco
