Hi -
I'm building menus based on data from a configuration file - to date I've
created standard python classes to represent the menu data then used Tkinter
to retrieve the information and create the menu widgets. So I thought why
not take it a step further and combine the two - sample test code below
#!/usr/bin/env python
from Tkinter import *
class MyMenu(Menu):
def __init__(self,parent):
Menu.__init__(self,parent, tearoff=0)
self.label1="Mylabel"
self.label2="Myexit"
def my_add(self):
self.add_command(label=self.label1, command=root.quit)
# did not expect this to work
Menu.add_command(self,label=self.label2, command=root.quit)
# this I thought may work
root = Tk()
menubar = Menu(root)
menu=MyMenu(menubar)
menu.my_add()
menubar.add_cascade(label="Test", menu=menu)
root.config(menu=menubar)
mainloop()
What I would like to do is not hardcode the 'tearoff=0' in the parent class
constructor i.e. instantiate MyMenu by
menu=MyMenu(menubar, tearoff=0)
Also not 100% sure why both add_command() statements in my_add() work?
Thanks
