Michael Lange napsal(a):
Oops, you are right. A look at Tkinter.OptionMenu shows that it is not that trivial.
Tkinter wraps the command in its internal _setit class, so it should actually be:

    from Tkinter import _setit
    w['menu'].insert('end', 'command', label='blah', command=_setit(var, 'blah', ok))

The arguments for the _setit constructor are: _setit(variable, value, callback) .

Not very nice, indeed. Maybe it would be a nice improvement to Tkinter to add at least
an insert() and a delete() method to Tkinter.OptionMenu .
  
yes, really ugly :-)
If you do not want to use the "hidden" _setit() you might define another callback for the inserted items:

    def ok_new(value):
        var.set(value)
        ok(value)

    w['menu'].insert('end', 'command', label='blah', command=lambda : ok_new('blah'))
  
this works with me even without new ok_new - with the old one:
    w['menu'].insert('end', 'command', label='blah', command=lambda : ok('blah'))

Maybe it is even nicer not to use an OptionMenu command at all and use a trace callback for the variable instead:

  
v = StringVar()
v.set('a')
def ok(*args):
        
...     print v.get()
... 
  
v.trace('w', ok)
        
'-1216076380ok'
  
om = OptionMenu(r, v, 'a', 'b', 'c')
om.pack()
om['menu'].insert('end', 'command', label='foo', command=lambda : v.set('foo'))
        

  
I completely forgot about this kind of solution....
At least you do not need a second callback this way.

I hope this helps

  
Sure this helps. Thank you for all.
