Are you looking for something like this? The menu with the name &Window is 
removed independently of the position it is found and inserted in front of 
the Tools menu.

Two things: the static_cast<>() can be omitted if you don't intend to lint 
the project (otherwise signed <--> unsigned mixing warnings drive you 
nuts). 
The second thing I noticed is that the Window menu is not present in the 
menuBar() when this function is called initially. The good news is that it 
does not remove the Build menu in this case ;-).

Ciao,
