Optionmenu.

[Thor]

I have the following function (with some things removed):

def add_stock():
stockw=Tk()
stockw.title("N ew stock solution")
sofl=Frame(stoc kw)
sofl.pack()
u=StringVar()
u.set("M")
cw=OptionMenu(s ofl,u,"M","m"," u","v","w")
cw.grid(row=1,c olumn=2)

but the widget keeps not showing teh selected option. If I fo the same out
of the function it works without problem (with stockw.mainloop ()). What am
I missing? Anybody can point me out to the solution/the right webpage?

Works fine with Python 2.2 Tk8.3.
Though it's looks a little bit funny that you initialize Tk inside the
function and that you use a local variable u for your your interface...

Hi,

I'm not sure if that is your problem here, but I think you should not use pack()
and grid() inside the same window, otherwise strange things might happen.
Maybe with sofl.grid() it will work.

Thanks. I'll check it today. The purpose was to make a windowd with 2 packed
frams, one qith 'things, and the other with the typical OK-Cancel buttons,
and then into the first one, put the widgets in a grid. I'll try to redo it
all using just one.

About teh u var, actually it is a global one...:D

You can use Frames. The rule is: Only one kind of geometry manager per
frame.
