I was thinking of doing the same thing... the missing link for me was the
tkMbPost command that apparently posts a menu as if the menubutton were
clicked with the mouse. Take a look at the code that vtcl uses to do it
itself... around line 195 of prop_mgr.tcl. He uses a menubutton plus an
extra button for the down-arrow that calls tkMbPost to post the menu. Here
is an excerpt from it:
frame $base
menubutton ${base}.l \
-textvariable $variable -bd 1 -width 12 -menu ${base}.l.m \
-highlightthickness 1 -relief sunken -anchor w -fg black \
-padx 0 -pady 1
menu ${base}.l.m -tearoff 0
foreach i [lindex $vTcl($prefix,$option) 3] {
${base}.l.m add command -label "$i" -command \
"set $variable $i; $config_cmd; "
}
button ${base}.f -relief raised -bd 1 -image file_down \
-height 5 -command "tkMbPost ${base}.l"
pack ${base}.l -side left -expand 1 -fill x
pack ${base}.f -side right -fill y -pady 1 -padx 1
