[Tkinter-discuss] Problems to show menubar

[mkieverpy at tlink.de]

Hi Mathias,

you need to attach your menubar to a Toplevel window.
A simple Frame cannot have a menubar.
It works, if you change your code like this:

------------------------------------------------
from Tkinter import *

class DistManager(Frame):
    ...
    def createMenuBar(self):
        menubar=Menu(self)
        kundenmenu=Menu(menubar, tearoff=0)
        kundenmenu.add_command(label="Kunden anzeigen")
        kundenmenu.add_command(label="Kunden anlegen")
        kundenmenu.add_command(label="Kunden bearbeiten")
        menubar.add_cascade(label="Kunden", menu=kundenmenu)

        self.master.config(menu=menubar)


tk = Tk()
app=DistManager(tk)
app.master.title("CCB- DistributionsManager")
app.master.geometry("800x600")
tk.mainloop()
----------------------------------------------------

The menu is attached to the master.
The master must be a widget that can have a menu, like
Tk itself or a Toplevel window.
Another method would be to derive DistManager
from Toplevel (haven't tried though).
