I'm trying to extract a menu entry's index given the entry label. ie for the typical File... menu, with entries of: New, Open, Save, Save As, etc...
How do I get the index of the entry labelled "Save As", given I have a reference to the containing menu object? Once I have an index I can do various things to the entry but there seems to be no way to access the entry without an index and no way to get the index (other than counting manually, which is no good where the menu content changes dynamically) based on the label. The top level requirement is to toggle the label between two values when certain state changes occur. (I could use a checkbox menuitem but those are not common UI elements and might confuse some users.) [ Another solution would be to get the list of items in the menu, but I can't see how to do that either (which seems odd!) With that list I could loop to find the item/index. ] -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tkinter-discuss mailing list Tkinter-discuss@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tkinter-discuss
