How do populate a Tkinter optionMenu with items in a list
list, optionmenu, python, tkinter
Solution
`lst` in your code is a list with a single string.
Use a list with multiple menu names, and specify them as follow:
....
lst = ["a","b","c","d","e","f"]
OptionMenu(root, var, *lst, command=print_it).pack()
....
Problem
"I want to populate option menus in Tkinter with items from various lists, how do i do that? In the code below it treats the entire list as one item in the menu. I tried to use a for statement to loop through the list but it only gave me the value 'a' several times. ``` from Tkinter import * def print_it(event): print var.get() root = Tk() var = StringVar() var.set("a") lst = ["a,b,c,d,e,f"] OptionMenu(root, var, lst, command=print_it).pack() root.mainloop() ``` I want to now pass the variable to this function, but i'm getting a syntax error for the second line: ``` def set_wkspc(event): x = var.get() if x = "Done": break else: arcpy.env.workspace = x print x ```
