[LDTP-Dev] Way to distinguish between menu items

[Nagappan Alagappan]

Hi Ara,

When I tried with Pidgin, I noticed the first menu item (which is in default
system menu) was listed as 'mnuPidginInternetMessenger' and the one under
indicator-applet is displayed as 'mnuPidginInternetMessenger1', is that fine
?

So, you can use them as:

doesmenuitemexist('frmTopExpandedEdgePanel', 'mnuPidginInternetMessenger')
doesmenuitemexist('frmTopExpandedEdgePanel', 'mnuPidginInternetMessenger1')

Drawback here is, you will not be able to use with hierarchy.

Thanks
Nagappan
