Which widget do you use?
Some widgets can be connected to variables so that when the variable
changes the widget is automatically update.
Have a look <at http://docs.python.org/lib/node696.html>.

i know how to do this already. the problem is i want the text to stay
in the windowa nd not start overwriting "Answer:".
i have solved this by using an Entry for the answer as well but id
prefer using a Label.

You can set the width option of the Label. For example:
b = Label(mygui, text=eval(expr) , width=20)
Then the Label will always be 20 characters wide no matter how long
the answer is.
You can read more about the options for Tk widgets in <http://
www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/TkCmd/contents.htm>.

Then don't use `place()` but let Tkinter handle the layout with the pack
and/or grid layout manager. GUIs with `place()` are a bad idea because
the GUI may look odd or is even unusable on other peoples computers with
other screen resolutions, fonts, and font sizes.

The problem comes about because the menu bar is built by several

Hi,
I have he following need and do not find an easy way out:
I have many menu items and would like them all to call the same method
-However, I need the method called to react differently depending on the
menu item selected. Since the menu command functions do not seem to
receive any type of event style object, is there some type of Tkinter
call that would let my method know the menu id selected ?

Root.option_add("*?????*font", "Helvetica 12 bold")
Want to get rid of the "font =":
Widget.add_cascade(label = "File", menu = Fi, font = "Helvetica 12 bold")
Does anyone know what ????? should be to control the font of the cascade
menus (the labels on the menu bar)? "*Menu*font" handles the part that
drops down, but I can't come up with the menu bar labels part.
Thanks!

Hi everybody
I'd appreciate some help on creating a tear off menu with TkInter. I've
been reading some documentation but still no luck.
Please don't get confused: when I mean "tear off" menu I don't mean a
drop-down or a pop-up menu, but those options which yield to another
batch of sub-options when scrolled over, (as for example, the File->New
option from internet explorer).

I don't know if this is because of Tkinter (ie Tk) itself or the

Is there any alternative format for how a long menu gets displayed? It
