Python: How to put a border around an OptionMenu using Tkinter?



To save the contents of a Textbox in Tkinter, we can take the following steps ?

  • Create an instance of tkinter frame.

  • Set the size of the frame using win.geometry method.

  • Define a user-defined method "open_text" to open a text file in "read" mode. Read the contents of the text file and save it in a variable called "content". Then, use the "insert" method to insert the content in a Textbox.

  • Next, define another user-defined method called "save_text" and in it, use the "write" method to save the contents of the textbox in the text file.

  • Create a text widget using the Text method with specified height and width.

  • Create a button to call the open_text method.

  • Finally, run the mainloop of the application window.

Example

Take a look at the following example ?

# Import Tkinter library from tkinter import * # Create an instance of Tkinter frame or window win = Tk() # Set the geometry of tkinter frame win.geometry("716x300") # Create Menu Items options=("Cellphone", "Laptop", "Smartwatch", "Digital Camera") # Find the length of maximum character in the option menu_width = len(max(options, key=len)) # Create an OptionMenu menu = OptionMenu(win, options[0], *options) menu.config(width=menu_width, borderwidth=5, activebackground="green") menu.pack(pady=30, ipadx=10) win.mainloop()
