How to create a menu button? - Frankduc - Mar-01-2022
Hi all,
I came up with this finding about creating a menu button to populate with months of the year for a calendar.
def affCal(self, mois, annee):
mb = Boutonmenu(root, text = 'Mois')
mb.menu = Menu(mb)
mb['menu'] = mb.menu
//thought about creatint a for loop of list of months ['january', ...] pass it in the label than pass somehow resultat.insert(tk.INSERT, calendar.month(annee, mois)) into the lamba and than return resultat.insert!
mb.menu.add_command(label = 'janvier', command = lambda: ? )
return resultat.insert(tk.INSERT, calendar.month(annee, mois))I am kind of in a deadlock.I want to pass the year (anne) and the month (mois) into calendar.month(annee, mois) method.
Any suggestion is welcome.

Menu is a poor choice. Combobutton or optionmenu are a better fit.
RE: How to create a menu button? - Frankduc - Mar-01-2022
Most of those solutions are to complicated to my taste. I just want to reproduce what i did for this code.
from tkinter import *
def conversion():
if choix.get() == 'Celcius à Fahrenheit':
celcius = float(entree.get())
fahrenheit = (celcius * 1.8) + 32
resultat.configure(text=str(fahrenheit))
else:
fahrenheit = float(entree.get())
celcius = (fahrenheit - 32) / 1.8
resultat.configure(text=str(celcius))
def changement(event):
if choix.get() == 'Celcius à Fahrenheit':
txt1.configure(text='Température en Celcius')
txt2.configure(text='Température en Fahrenheit')
else:
txt2.configure(text='Température en Celcius')
txt1.configure(text='Température en Fahrenheit')
fen1 = Tk()
fen1.title('Conversion')
txt1 = Label(fen1, text='Température en Fahrenheit')
txt1.grid(row=0, column=0, sticky=E)
entree = Entry(fen1)
entree.grid(row=0, column=1)
txt2 = Label(fen1, text='Température en Celcius')
txt2.grid(row=1, column=0, sticky=E)
resultat = Label(fen1, text='')
resultat.grid(row=1, column=1)
bouton = Button(fen1, text='Conversion', command=conversion)
bouton.grid(row=2, column=0)
choix = StringVar(fen1)
choix.set('Celcius à Fahrenheit')
liste = OptionMenu(fen1, choix, 'Celcius à Fahrenheit', 'Fahrenheit à Celcius', command=changement)
liste.grid(row=2, column=1)
fen1.mainloop()Find a way to include a list or enumerate in def changement(event):I am wasting to much time on this.

You used an OptionMenu in the program you wish to reproduce. I like the Combobutton better, but OptionMenu is ok.
RE: How to create a menu button? - Frankduc - Mar-01-2022
OptionMenu is what they showed in the book and probably in class. Better stick with it. I lost a lot of pts at the exam at the last question for a stupity like this. Teacher strip you of a lot of pts on little details, got 60 for last question and it drop me to 80.
I am stuck i dont know what to do.

For some reason I am having difficulty reading your mind. Maybe you should post a question.
RE: How to create a menu button? - Frankduc - Mar-01-2022
I try to formulate the right question, for the right issue.
Do i need the def changement(event): ?
After all maybe i should just create a list of months:
list_months = ['january', 'febrary', ....]
for m in list_months:
if choix.get() == m:
get the index of the month and pass it into the: return resultat.insert(tk.INSERT, calendar.month(annee, month))
For now thats the only plan i came with to stay in line with the book.
RE: How to create a menu button? - deanhystad - Mar-01-2022
Why would you want the index?
iimport tkinter as tk
months = ("Way before March", "Before March", "March", "After March")
def month_changed(label, value):
index = months.index(value)
label["text"] = f"Beware the ides of {value} {index}"
root = tk.Tk()
choix = tk.StringVar(root, value=months[0])
tk.Label(root, textvariable=choix, width=30).pack()
label = tk.Label(root, width=30)
label.pack()
tk.OptionMenu(root, choix, *months).pack(fill=tk.X)
choix.trace_add("write", lambda a, b, c: month_changed(label, choix.get()))
root.mainloop()
RE: How to create a menu button? - Frankduc - Mar-01-2022
This is returning the calendar by inputing year and month.
resultat.insert(tk.INSERT, calendar.month(year, month))I have to pass the value of the month. Cannot input january as a string. The method is taking a number 0 = january, 1 = february and on.
calendar.month(2022, 1) 1 for february Thats why i am saying i could create a list of the months. Than extract the index and pass index in the calendar method.
I just have to figure out how to create the option menu and connect all this.
You always have interesting solutions but a bit sophiesticated for the situation.
RE: How to create a menu button? - deanhystad - Mar-01-2022
You want to do this, but in a GUI.
import calendar print(calendar.month(2022, 3))Correct?
