tkinter OptionMenu column break

I'm creating a OptionMenu button for a gui and I'm having a problem
where the drop down list is so long that most of the options are off
screen. The correct behavior would be that another drop down menu list
would be created next to it with the continued options. Here is the
small code snippet that I have now:

myOptionList = .......
OMcreate = "OptionMenu(fra me, myVar, \"%s\",
command=myOMCB) "%(myOptionList )

I was thinking that there must be some variable to do this. Any help
would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I don't think that Tk's menus ever use more than one column. They
certainly don't on Unix.

I'm writing an app that requires a 3-level optionMenu display. Basically I'm showing the contents of a 3-dimensional matrix. You choose the first level in the first optionMenu, the 2nd level in the next level, and the 3rd level in the last optionMenu. Let's call them Continent,country,state. continentList = countryList = ,,] stateList = ,,],] When I open the window, all is well. I can display the following as default

I would like to link the contents of three OptionMenu lists. When I select an item from the first list (call it continents), the contents of the 2nd list (call it countries) would update. And in turn the contents of the 3rd list (call it states would be updated by a change in the 2nd list. If anyone can share a recipe or some ideas, I'd be grateful! Here's some sample code that displays three OptionMenus, but doesn't update the list...

Anybody know how to change the menu button that is displayed by the Tkinter Menubutton and the (derived from it) OptionMenu classes? I think it must be something from the Motif look and feel which doesn't fit with my appl which is designed primarily for running on Windows and OS X. The default button visual that appears is basically a small rectangle drawn in relief inside a larger one. I'd like to replace this with a downward pointing...

Hello, The Tkinter OptionMenu widget has me a bit confused. I have set up an OptionMenu to expand along the X axis as the window expands. What I find though is that the width of the submenu displaying the list of items in the menu does not expand. This is the object I'm talking about: <code>

I'm trying unsuccessfully to do something in Tk that I though would be easy. After Googling this all day, I think I need some help. I am admittedly very novice with Tk (I started with it yesterday), so I am sure I am overlooking something simple. The basic idea is that my application will consist of a series of modal dialogs, that are chained together in "wizard" fashion. There will be some processing in between dialogs, but for the most...

Is there anyway to set the individual options in Tkinter to a particular variable. For example, I have a menu option(code is below) which has January, February, March and so on, which I would like to have corresponding values of 01, 02, 03 and so on. Can someone please tell me how to do that within the context of the code I have below - or even totally modify it if you must. Label(self, text = "Month" ).grid(row = 5, column = 1,...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
