optionmenu

I have created an OptionMenu from Tkinter with a columnspan of 2. However, the dropdown list/menu does not match the width, so it does not look good. Any idea on how to match their width? self.widgetVar = StringVar(self.top) choices = ['', 'wire', 'register'] typeOption = OptionMenu(self.top, self.widgetVar, *choices) typeOption.grid(column = 0, columnspan = 2, row = 0, sticky = 'NSWE', padx = 5, pady = 5) There is no way to change the width of the dropdown.

currently to click on menu-item that is sometimes on some devices in the overflow-menu I am doing the following: fun invokeMenu(@IdRes menuId: Int, @StringRes menuStringRes: Int) { try { onView(withId(menuId)).perform(click()) } catch (nmv: NoMatchingViewException) { openActionBarOverflowOrOptionsMenu(InstrumentationRegistry.getInstrumentation().targetContext) onView(withText(menuStringRes)).perform(click()) } } But I am searching for a better approach - ideally something where I just have to know the menu-id.

In other words, when I run my code below, I want print(value) to print the value of the default selection. If Asia is chosen from the optionmenu, Japan should automatically print to the console. If Africa, Nigeria should print and Germany for Europe. Any suggestion on how I can achieve this? Thanks. from tkinter import * from

If I take a simple example of OptionMenu from http://effbot.org/tkinterbook/optionmenu.htm , and add a line that sets background color (see below), only the button background changes color, not the drop-down menu which remains gray. Can I set color for both the button and the menu of OptionMenu? I am using Windows 7, Python 2.6.6, Tkinter Rev 73770 from Tkinter import * master = Tk() variable = StringVar(master) variable.set("one") # default value w = OptionMenu(master, variable, "one", "two", "three") w.config(bg = "GREEN") # Set background color to green w.pack() mainloop() Thank you You
