tkinter: Can You Underline More Than 1 Char In A Menu Title

I am currently underling the first character of a menu title (to indicate
its shortcut/accelerator key) like this:

self.WildBtn = Menubutton(self .mBar, text=WILDMENU, underline=0, state=DISABLED)

However, I intend to actually have two separate keys invoke this menu
to have it behave differently in different circumstances.

Is it possible to underline more than a single character as I am doing
with the 'underline=0' above. I tried 'underline=(0,2 )' but that didn't
work.

Ideas?

TIA,

You can, of course, CHANGE the underlined character to match the
circumstances.

Yeah, I understand that ... what I want is two characters simulatenously
underlined ... oh well, another solution will be arranged...

if you want a menu choice to have different behaviour depending on what
key you use to invoke them, you should use two different choices.

That is my intention. I have a menu that lists a set of regular expressions
available for a particular task. However, the regex are applied in two
different ways for this task. I want a common menu for displaying all
the choices, but two separate "Accelerato r Keys" to invoke it, depending
on the desired application...

Caution, newbie approaching... I'm trying to come up with a very simple Tkinter test application that consists of a window with a drop-down menu bar at the top and a grid of colored rectangles filling the remainder of the window.

I've trivially subclassed Tkinter.Canvas into ColorCanvas, added a bunch of ColorCanvases...

Hi there, I've got a tree control in Tkinter (using the ESRF Tree module) but I can't get it to layout how I want it.
