How to hide an act_window at the top menu without deleting it?

Question

I've created an act_window. I've also created a button which calls this act_window. However, the act_window always appears at the top menu in the option *More* of the tree view of the source model. I want it to disappear, but I don't want to delete the act_window because it's called by my customized button.

/<act_window name="Invite partner to an event"
res_model="mail.compose.message"
src_model="event.registration"
view_mode="form"
multi="True"
target="new"
id="act_invite_partner_to_event"/>/

1. Delete the action , you dont need it
2. change button type from "action" to "object"
3. write a method that opens desired view   like:

def open_my_view(self,cr, uid, ids, context=None):
view_ref = self.pool.get('ir.model.data').get_object_reference(cr, uid, 'your_module_name', 'view_thate_should_be_opened')
view_id = view_ref and view_ref[1] or False
return {
'type': 'ir.actions.act_window',
'name': 'Some apropriate name',
'res_model': 'your.model',
'res_id': record_id, # if it is transient
