Isn't that what the code I sent does?  Here it is again:

(defun toggle-menu-bar-for-frame (&optional frame)
  "Toggle showing the menu-bar for selected frame.
When called from Lisp, optional arg FRAME is used instead of the
selected frame."
  (interactive)
  (let ((now  (or (frame-parameter frame 'menu-bar-lines)  0)))
    (set-frame-parameter frame 'menu-bar-lines (if (zerop now) 1 0))))
