import tkinter

In reply to Tyler R Parker.

I’m glad to see your feedback. I actually tried it out myself, and realized the issue.

You need to use the newer ttk MenuButton for these newer features. I will now include an example in this article. I’ll also try and work out an article which is dedicated to explaining ttk and it’s uses.

Dude, a lot of the parameters listed on this tutorial do not actually work when you write them into the code. For example, textvariable can’t go inside an .add(type, option) to a menu object, and neither can it go into the Menu() widget creation. This isn’t the only tutorial on this website with these mistakes! I have to try out every single parameter and half of them don’t work. Please clean this up!
