Hello,
Below is a slightly modified example about Pmw/Tkinter from
http://pmw.sourceforge.net/doc/howtouse.html.
I changed the geometry manager from 'pack' to 'grid', because I use that in all
other parts of my program.
The problem is, 'broccoli' won't display nicely under vege_menu. I want it to
left-align, not center (I don't case that it's truncated). In plain Tkinter I
could do "self.vege_menu.configure(anchor=Tkinter.W)" but this raises a
KeyError in Pmw.
The real reason for switching from Tkinter to Pmw is that Pmw is more compact,
and it has an 'index' method that I could use to link two optionmenus.
Any ideas? Hope this is ok to ask as Pmw is a layer on top of Tkinter.
Thank you!
