Does Tk provide ComboBox ?

[Peter Moscatt]

Does Tkinter provide a combobox or do I have to find some way of making a
listbox do the job ?

Hi!

In Tkinter this is called "OptionMenu ".
If you don't like it, PMW (http://pmw.sourceforge.net/) has a
*real* Combobox :)

Re: Does Tk provide ComboBox ?

Hi Markus,

Pmw has a ComboBox but it's ugly IMO. Tix also has one -- but it's not
much different than the Pmw one. I created one and put it in a
Tkinter.py file. You can see mine here:
http://www.seritt.org/pub/tkinter/Tkinter-03132005.py -- I can honestly
say it's almost fully functional :-)

Seriously though, you can use the Listbox for almost anything you would
need a combobox for. In my mind, it's good for tight spaces (I'm sure
someone on this fine board will add something or disagree with me),
looks and little else.

Another Tk combobox is part of "bwidget". A Python wrapper can be found at

I think the appearance of the combobox is fairly close to the win9x look,
especially when used with my "options.py " package
