Well, my real suggestion would be to change this application. Don't you think it is weird that when you select a month for a specific action, all the other actions will have the same month selected ?
yeah I know - I've used a radiobutton to see if it could be used instead of a cascaded menu. The 'partial' bit is that I was able to to identify the selection through the use the variables but as you say - it is not a good way to go about this. I've just run your code and it is exactly what I'm trying to do :-D however I ideally want to use add_cascade() instead of add_radiobutton() .. my problem is that a menu object does not provide for use of variables and so far, using variables is the only way I've managed to get a 'partial' solution albeit a bad one!! Therefore the solution I've been trying to achieve is what your code does but using add_cascade(). Failing that a rethink of the app. thanks again cheers -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/How-do-I-identify-which-menu-item-has-bee-selected--tp25023156p25053122.html Sent from the Python - tkinter-discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Tkinter-discuss mailing list Tkinter-discuss@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tkinter-discuss
