How do I disable a Pmw ComboBox's EntryField and make its dropdown menu
open when that EntryField is clicked?
What I've tried in my class so far is:
self.cboxDomain = Pmw.ComboBox(grpNav.interior(),
label_text='Domain:',
labelpos='w',
fliparrow=1,
selectioncommand=self.clickDomain)
self.cboxDomain.component('entryfield_entry').bind('<Button-1>',
self.cboxDomain.invoke)
self.cboxDomain.component('entryfield_entry').configure(
state=DISABLED)
self.cboxDomain.grid(row=1, column=0, columnspan=2, sticky='w')
The disabling part works fine. I can't type anything into the field,
yet when I select something from the dropdown menu, it will appear in
it, which is what I wanted. However, the initial click on the
EntryField produces this error:
Error: 1
TypeError Exception in Tk callback
Function: <method ComboBox.invoke of ComboBox instance at
4adb64> (type: <type 'instance method'>)
Args: (<Tkinter.Event instance at 578744>,)
Event type: ButtonPress (type num: 4)
Traceback (innermost last):
