Kevin,
> Try <<MenuSelect>>.
Thanks for the recommendation. Any suggestions on how I can determine
the currently selected menu item in the event raised by <<MenuSelect>>?
# here's how I create my popup menu
popup = tk.Menu( menubar )
popup.bind( '<<MenuSelect>>', statusbarUpdate )
# here's the command I bind to
def statusbarUpdate( event=None ):
for key in dir( event ):
print key, getattr( event, key )
This outputs the following information as I move between menu items (eg.
the event is being raised properly).
Note: There seems to be no way to determine the current menu widget
(event.widget is a string vs. widget reference).
char ??
delta 0
height ??
keycode ??
keysym ??
keysym_num ??
num ??
send_event False
serial 238
state 0
time 1585806557
type 35
widget .#52754872.#52754872#52755392 <-- string vs. widget reference
width ??
x 36160384
x_root 487
y 53363120
y_root 307
Any suggestions appreciated!
Thank you,
Malcolm
