Dear all,
I am trying to figure out how to change the background color of my
menubar under Windows.
I've tried the following:
from Tkinter import *
root = Tk()
menu = Menu(root,backg round="blue")
root.config(men u=menu)
menu.add_cascad e(label="File", command=None)
root.mainloop()
but its a no go.
Maybe I should post a direct tk command or change the default
"SystemButtonFa ce" color.
Or maybe its impossible - but I was told nothing is impossible so this
may be traumatic for me :(
TIA.

Tk uses the native windows menu control to draw the menubar. This may
mean you're unable to change it. If background= doesn't work, well,
you're probably stuck.
You can use a non-native menubar by creating a menu frame and packing a
bunch of menubuttons into it, but this won't look as nice as a native
menu, and probably won't work with the predefined alt-key bindings
(alt+f = file, etc).

Thanks for the reply Jeff.
I will try to create a non native menubar as you suggested.

How can the toolbar and menubar be hidden in IE?
When opening the window via javascript I can specify
'toolbar=no,menubar=no', which works fine.
However if the window already exists how can I remove them? If the browser
is Netscape I can use javascript:
window.toolbar.visible = false;
window.menubar.visible = false;
but IE produces the error:
"'window.toolbar.visible' is null or not an object".

I have a form with a main menubar containing a number of menu options.
In the empty right half of the menubar I want to place a combobox where
users can make some sort of selection.
However, when I place a combobox on the form and move it to the menu area it
disappaears behind the menubar, instead of appearing in front of it.
How can I place the combobox on top of (or in front of) the menubar?
I use VB.NET 2003 standard edition.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
