State of menu items can be changed like this: <code> import Tkinter as Tk def hello(): if mfile.entrycget(2, 'state') == 'disabled': state = 'normal' else: state = 'disabled' mfile.entryconfigure(2, state=state) root = Tk.Tk() menubar = Tk.Menu(root) mfile = Tk.Menu(menubar) mfile.add_command(label="Open", command=hello) mfile.add_command(label="Save", command=hello) menubar.add_cascade(label='File', menu=mfile) root.config(menu=menubar) root.mainloop() </code> But I think that you should read this: http://effbot.org/zone/vroom.htm HTH, Rob -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
