How Do I Remove a menu?

Report · Mar 10, 2008

I added some menus with CS3, using javascriptm and now I can not get them to go away...

Is there a remove command? I can not find anything in the api about remove, as a matter of fact all im using the the InDesign CS3 Scripting Guide:Javascipt, and that does not have a reference in it for menus.

Thanks
Mike

Hi Mike,

Actually, it’s not a menu, but submenu you can’t get rid of.

Solution #1 – Delete preferences: launch InDesign and press Cmd + Opt + Shift + Control (on Mac) or Control + Alt + Shift (on PC) and when you see — “Delete InDesign preference files?” — choose Yes.

Solution #2 (less drastic) – I prefer to kill submenus in JavaScript Console.
Let’s assume that I added "Script" submenu to the Main menu and want to get rid of it.
All I have to do is just type the following line and press Enter/Return.
app.menus.item("$ID/Main").submenus.item("Script").remove();
