How to use custom right menu then go back to initial right menu

[Antoine-S-C]

Hello,
I'm trying to use the right menu with menu_controller.display_simple_menu()
It works, but then I don't know how to go back to the initial menu.
How can I do that ?

Hey Antoine,
Creating a button that points to nowhere called "Return" is achieving what you are looking for I guess.

menu_items = ['1st button text',
              '2nd button text',
              '',
              'Return']

selected_menu_item = menu_controller.display_simple_menu(menu_items)

I already tried this but it doesn't work.

Hello @Brunner246
With the code of your link ("create a simple cadwork menu"), I have the same problem :
after clicking on "Return", the default right menu does not reappear.
Do you have any idea?
Shouldn't we add the "display_default_menu()" function in menu_controller library?

Hi @Antoine-S-C

From where are you running your code ? Do not run the menu_controller from the Python IDLE. Run it as a plugin from userprofil_30\3d\API.x64\yourPlugin

What dou you mean with Shouldn't we add the "display_default_menu()" function in menu_controller library? There is no display_default_menu
menu_controller

please post your code

Ah ! Yes, that was just the reason ! I Used the python IDLE, as I do with all my tests.
Problem solved using the top menu. I'll think about it for next time.
Thanks a lot
:)
