Title in dropdown menu

manudin

I found in this topic a code which creates a menu and sub menu but I did not found how to create titles inside menus. something like this:

import c4d
from c4d import gui

def EnhanceMainMenu():
    mainMenu = gui.GetMenuResource("M_EDITOR")                 
    pluginsMenu = gui.SearchPluginMenuResource()               


    menu = c4d.BaseContainer()                                 
    menu.InsData(c4d.MENURESOURCE_SUBTITLE, "My Menu 1")  
    menu.InsData(c4d.MENURESOURCE_COMMAND, "PLUGIN_CMD_{}".format(c4d.Ocube))      
    menu.InsData(c4d.MENURESOURCE_SEPERATOR, True);             
    menu.InsData(c4d.MENURESOURCE_COMMAND, "PLUGIN_CMD_{}".format(c4d.Osphere))     
    menu.InsData(c4d.MENURESOURCE_COMMAND, "PLUGIN_CMD_{}".format(c4d.Oplane))     

    submenu = c4d.BaseContainer()
    submenu.InsData(c4d.MENURESOURCE_SUBTITLE, "Menu 2 ")
    submenu.InsData(c4d.MENURESOURCE_COMMAND, "PLUGIN_CMD_{}".format(c4d.Onull))     
    menu.InsData(c4d.MENURESOURCE_SUBMENU, submenu)

    if pluginsMenu: mainMenu.InsDataAfter(c4d.MENURESOURCE_STRING, menu, pluginsMenu)
    else: mainMenu.InsData(c4d.MENURESOURCE_STRING, menu)

def PluginMessage(id, data):
    if id==c4d.C4DPL_BUILDMENU:
        EnhanceMainMenu()

About your First Question

These static text separators are just normal separators with provided title. You can do this by assigning BaseContainer instead of boolean (please check the code snippet below).
