Python GUI with Tkinter - 9 - Creating Drop Down Menus

[@SteveBreese]

# Remove the dashed line (- - - - - - - -) above the dropdown list subMenu = Menu(menu, tearoff=0)

Steve Breese thanks, this is really a simple and good advice

+Steve Breese no its 0

did "menu" look like a really weird word to you by the end?

[@krisek98]

I have read ur comment before watching video and I didn't get it, now I do..

also "edit" for me lol

There is no way in hell that menu is actually a word, i mean just look at him... menu This abomination should not exist!

Thank God for the day I subscribed to this channel. Bucky, God Bless You.

[@df6148]

Thanks for the great explanations! I feel like tkinter looks crappy at first but after giving it time you really get to see that you shouldn't judge it by how it looks. It has some really awesome features. Like what you just showed here. Thanks a ton.

[@profskitty]

Hey may I ask a question about how I would make a cascading menu that scrolls? I have a menu for a program I am doing that has about 50 different pieces per submenu, and I want to be able to have like an arrow so that it scrolls down. Would you know what I should try to do?

[@21Blankenship]

Happy birthday man, thanks for everything

[@turboromy]

This was a bit confusing when I first saw it on other guy's channel. New Boton's way is simple and straight forward. Thanks as always.

[@christophershibles383]

This is exactly what I was looking got. You gave me the basics and now I can use them and search for more "advanced" options. Thanks!

[@mafianoodles]

late to the party here - it's 2020 i think i need to lay down and watch this again :)

[@rngeesus13]

this is probably the hardest and most confusing lesson that I had with this Tkinter tutorial with bucky amongst the 14 lessons. Took me almost 2 hours to understand the whole thing and apply it on my own program.

[@puraneshi]

also, to remove that first option that brings the cascade menu to another window: subMenu = Menu(menu, tearoff=0)

[@TheSecondFlock]

Thanks!

[@kirkchu7304]

+thenewboston I can't get my menu to open in the frame. It open outside the frame at the top of my desktop screen. Any ideas on how to fix this?

[@vikingtyty]

If you're on a mac, that's just how it works. I was confused at first, but then realized none of my other apps have the menu within the app itself, it's always on the mac menu bar.

[@takemybacon6053]

Why do i feel like menu isn't spelled right after writing it/

Because it's just a bit to simple of a spelling in the English language.

Is it possible to create such a drop down menu on an Entry, such as that suggestions underneath the search line in Google?

[@OkaiGabi]

If your program prints the "ok ok I wont...." right when you run it, be sure you did code """""command=doNothing)""""" and not """"command=doNothing())""". Watch out for the autocomplete that adds a set of parenthesis!

[@onur199]

Hey I know this is a 1 year old comment, but how exactly can I give it a variable to run with then?

did exactly but it ain't running.... line 13, in Menu.add_cascade(label="File", menu=subMenu) TypeError: add_cascade() missing 1 required positional argument: 'self'

[@IVIagicful]

Are you doing it exactly though? You have Menu capitalized which refers to the Tkinter's class Menu. You want to change it to menu which is the object's name.

[@Diego4322237]

Muchas gracias amigo, tu vídeo está genial!

[@FSVideoFeatures]

Hi, (first, thank you for the videos, they are really good!) Question: when follow and reproduce your code, the window created is called TK and has no menus, the menus appear instead by the side of the compiler program (next to PyCharm) on the application menu bar! Worst, I have no idea why! Where can I put the Q to you or to people following this tutorials? Many thanks, Best, Fernando

[@domn8t0r]

I wish you actually WOULD have used a different word other than "menu". It really made it confusing understand which one was being called at times when everything is menu.

[@xingyubian1441]

Hello, do you have an intermediate course for python tkinter?

[@chancewatkins5071]

awesome tutorial, probably the best explanation I've found on KZbin. I've Subscribed God Bless. However I was wondering if you could combine an input box and a dropdown list in order to create a "suggestion" list like that on the Google search bar. Do you think that is possible?

Semantic satiation (also semantic saturation) is a psychological phenomenon in which repetition causes a word or phrase to temporarily lose meaning for the listener, who then perceives the speech as repeated meaningless sounds.

Might be getting ahead of myself here, but does the tkinter offer the ability to customize the way the GUI actually looks? For example, in Mint the menu that we just created in in tkinter has a squared look to it. What if I would like to round the corners, or make the menu transparent...blah blah.? Is this possible?

Did you ever find out?

Notepad++ for life. Love the tutorials btw, I didn't even know Python had GUIs. I've been using AHK for that and its not nearly as robust as Python.

Im not sure of the whole functionality of Notepad++ but i can also recommend sublime text.... it has python functionalty build in and everything.. you might wanna take a look :)

[@Mondreus313]

Notepad++ is great, it's really lacking on python syntax however. I just use PyCharm, same thing our bacon-loving teacher is using. Used the built in IDLE prior, but I was basically a butt-scratching tribal back then. If you ever use Notepad++, be very tentative on the download source, there are a LOT of phishing sites, advertisements, and 3rd party hosts loaded with trojans and malware plugins. That's a PSA.

Am I the only one who didn't like that tutorial as Ubuntu has its menu bar at the top, not in the application?? Can anyone help me with that???

[@cedricboucher3719]

[@cedricboucher3719]

Okay after completing the video I can understand what people are talking about how weird word "menu" is.. damn!

[@ankitbali2751]

[@subtlepositioning3353]

Can someone help me please? Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:/Users/Ronan/PycharmProjects/Stepper Motor/GUI test.py", line 14, in menu.add_cascade(Label="File", menu=subMenu) File "C:\Python27\lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 2733, in add_cascade self.add('cascade', cnf or kw) File "C:\Python27\lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 2730, in add self._options(cnf, kw)) _tkinter.TclError: unknown option "-Label" What does this mean??

[@adamwitte2033]

I got the same thing near enough. I'm clueless how to fix it

[@ciaran624]

I think it's label not Label

[@adamwitte2033]

Yes thank you I sorted it but yes that was the problem

[@zakbuttery972]

This doesnt seem to work for me, I get a blank window when I run the program every time (Note im using a mac) Here is my source code can anyone understand what ive done wrong please?: from tkinter import * def FunctionB(): print("You used a drop down menu!") def FunctionA(): print("Why did you click this") MainWindow = Tk() menu = Menu(MainWindow) MainWindow.config(menu=menu) subMenu = Menu(menu) menu.add_cascade(label="Option 1", menu=subMenu) subMenu.add_command(label="Click me", command=FunctionB) subMenu.add_command(label="Don't click me", command=FunctionA) subMenu.add_separator() subMenu.add_command(label="Exit", command=FunctionA) editMenu = Menu(menu) menu.add_cascade(label="Another menu thingy", menu=editMenu) editMenu.add_command(label="Click disss", command=FunctionB) MainWindow.mainloop()

[@zakbuttery972]

***** Found the problem! It was just me being an idiot.. On mac the drop down options appear at the top of the screen not the top of the program window

[@asbjrnandersen8595]

Zakky B yeah good for you that it worked :D

[@tonyiguru7595]

Same thing happened to me, a small white box with and red, yellow and green circles popped up, and my mind wasn't focused on what was going behind it. In my def-fence, I predominantly use windows machines and Buckys' Jedi mind controlling tactics made me blind to the Mac Os window.

[@bobn8r53]

How do I change the menu font??

[@bobn8r53]

To answer my own question, when you declare [menu = Menu(root, font="helvetica 14 bold")] and for each [submenu=Menu(menu, font = "helvetica 14 bold")] of course it doesn't have to be helvetica it could be times, or Verdana etc. and the size and bold italic etc. immediately after the font name.

[@tonyiguru7595]

@@bobn8r53 The code did not seem to change anything on a Mac os x in the menu, but did work on the sub menu. thanks

[@FinetalPies]

subMenu = Menu(menu) Menu has ceased to be a word I recognize as real
