Sorry my fault - have not explained it well - what I mean is the 'variable' coption that is available in add_checkbutton() and add_radiobutton() but not in add_cascade().
It is through the use of the 'variable' coption that the month selected is determined - knowing the month that has been selected is crucial in determining which function to run. I could not see a way of using a cascaded menu and still determine the month selected. Having said that - seeing the way that you have written your code (I must say I do like!) - I reckon I've been approaching this from the wrong angle and am fairly sure that I can adapt it to what I need - this I'll do. There is always the option to simplify it all e.g. include a menubutton on the menubar from which a month can be selected then run all 'actions' against that month - though not as flexible from a user perspective. Will work on what you have shown me. cheers -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/How-do-I-identify-which-menu-item-has-bee-selected--tp25023156p25053797.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
