How to find references to UI from python

Development Pipeline & Plugins Editor Scripting
1

Hi, for example I know that to refer to Main menu I have to use this:
menus = unreal.ToolMenus.get()
main_menu = menus.find_menu(“LevelEditor.MainMenu”)

But how should I have discovered to use “LevelEditor.MainMenu”?
What code do I have to see at?
Thank you very much.

import unreal

def list_menu(num=1000):
    menu_list = set()
    for i in range(num):
        obj = unreal.find_object(None,"/Engine/Transient.ToolMenus_0:ToolMenu_%s" % i)
        if not obj:
            continue
        menu_name = str(obj.menu_name)
        if menu_name != "None":
            menu_list.add(menu_name)
    return list(menu_list)

print(list_menu())
LogPython: ['LevelEditor.LevelEditorToolBar', 'ContentBrowser.AssetContextMenu.LevelSequence', 'MediaPlayer.AssetPickerAssetContextMenu', 'ContentBrowser.AssetContextMenu', 'LevelEditor.LevelEditorToolBar.CompileComboButton', 'MainFrame.MainMenu', 'LevelEditor.MainMenu.Edit', 'LevelEditor.LevelEditorToolBar.BuildComboButton.LightingInfo.LightingResolution', 'LevelEditor.MainMenu', 'LevelEditor.MainMenu.File', 'AssetEditor.SkeletalMeshEditor.ToolBar', 'MainFrame.MainMenu.Edit', 'ContentBrowser.AssetContextMenu.CameraAnim', 'LevelEditor.MainMenu.Window', 'LevelEditor.LevelEditorToolBar.BuildComboButton', 'LevelEditor.LevelEditorToolBar.BuildComboButton.LightingQuality', 'MainFrame.MainMenu.File', 'LevelEditor.LevelEditorToolBar.BuildComboButton.LightingInfo.LightingDensity', 'LevelEditor.ActorContextMenu', 'ContentBrowser.AssetContextMenu.SoundWave', 'MainFrame.MainTabMenu.File', 'LevelEditor.LevelEditorToolBar.SourceControl', 'LevelEditor.LevelEditorToolBar.BuildComboButton.LightingInfo', 'LevelEditor.LevelEditorSceneOutliner.ContextMenu', 'MainFrame.MainMenu.Window', 'LevelEditor.LevelEditorToolBar.LevelToolbarQuickSettings', 'MainFrame.MainMenu.Asset', 'LevelEditor.LevelEditorToolBar.Cinematics', 'LevelEditor.MainMenu.Help', 'LevelEditor.LevelEditorToolBar.EditorModes', 'MainFrame.MainMenu.Help', 'ContentBrowser.FolderContextMenu', 'LevelEditor.LevelEditorToolBar.OpenBlueprint']

That’s the solution I found, pure python.
I write a blog article for how to extend it unreal python extend menu.
