[Tkinter-discuss] Muti-column menu (cont)

[Vasilis Vlachoudis]

Is it possible to have a separator line extending both columns (something like columnspan=2).
If I add two separators, the first one appears ok while the second appears like a dot. 

from Tkinter import *

def showMenu(event=None):
	menu = Menu(tk,tearoff=0)

	menu.add_command(label="PLA")
	menu.add_command(label="XZP")
	menu.add_separator()
	menu.add_command(label="RPP")
	menu.add_command(label="WED")
	menu.add_separator()
	menu.add_command(label="SPH")
	menu.add_separator()
	menu.add_command(label="RCC")
	menu.add_command(label="XCC")
	menu.add_command(label="YCC")
	menu.add_command(label="ZCC")
	menu.add_command(label="TRC")
	menu.add_separator()
	menu.add_command(label="ARB")
	menu.add_command(label="TRX")
	menu.add_command(label="TRZ")

	menu.add_command(label="XYP")
	menu.add_command(label="YZP")
	menu.add_separator()
	menu.add_command(label="BOX")
	menu.add_command(label="RAW")
	menu.add_separator()
	menu.add_command(label="ELL")
	menu.add_separator()
	menu.add_command(label="REC")
	menu.add_command(label="XEC")
	menu.add_command(label="YEC")
	menu.add_command(label="ZEC")
	menu.add_separator()
	menu.add_separator()
	menu.add_command(label="QUA")
	menu.add_command(label="TRY")

	menu.entryconfigure(17,columnbreak=1)

	menu.tk_popup(tk.winfo_pointerx(), tk.winfo_pointery())

tk = Tk()
tk.bind("<3>",showMenu)
tk.mainloop()

Yes, all you need to do is

    menu.entryconfigure(i, columnbreak=1)

where i is the index number of the menu item that will appear at the top
of a new column.

Best regards
