Buttons inside dropdown menus?

Coding Python Support

Hello,

I’m building my own menu and I would like to simplify it using buttons inside the menu… is it possible?
To show you what I’m trying to archive check the following picture:

Anyone knows how to code it?
Thanks in advance

no, operators inside of menus are shown as menu entries, not as buttons. The transform manipulator buttons aren’t buttons (=operators) btw., they are boolean properties of the view3d space.

this is the most you can get with current API:

import bpy


class SimpleCustomMenu(bpy.types.Menu):
    bl_label = "Simple Custom Menu"
    bl_idname = "OBJECT_MT_simple_custom_menu"

    def draw(self, context):
        layout = self.layout

        for area in context.screen.areas:
            if area.type == 'VIEW_3D':
                space_data = area.spaces[0]
                break
        layout.prop(space_data, "show_manipulator")
        layout.separator()
        layout.prop(space_data, "use_manipulator_translate")
        layout.prop(space_data, "use_manipulator_rotate")
        layout.prop(space_data, "use_manipulator_scale")


def register():
    bpy.utils.register_class(SimpleCustomMenu)


def unregister():
    bpy.utils.unregister_class(SimpleCustomMenu)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    register()

    # The menu can also be called from scripts
    bpy.ops.wm.call_menu(name=SimpleCustomMenu.bl_idname)
