How to add Menu bar in custom tkinter-CodePudding

How can I add the Manu bar in my custom TKinter window?

I want to add a menu bar in my custom TKinter window.

CodePudding user response：

import tkinter as tk

root = tk.Tk()
root.title("My Window")


menu_bar = tk.Menu(root)


file_menu = tk.Menu(menu_bar, tearoff=0)
file_menu.add_command(label="New", command=new_file)
file_menu.add_command(label="Open", command=open_file)
file_menu.add_separator()
file_menu.add_command(label="Exit", command=exit_program)
menu_bar.add_cascade(label="File", menu=file_menu)


edit_menu = tk.Menu(menu_bar, tearoff=0)
edit_menu.add_command(label="Undo", command=undo)
edit_menu.add_command(label="Redo", command=redo)
menu_bar.add_cascade(label="Edit", menu=edit_menu)


root.config(menu=menu_bar)


root.mainloop()

Unless you have something specific you want to achieve, this is how i would do it

Entry level for newbie.

Is this what you want, black on the background on menubar?

import tkinter as tk

app = tk.Tk() 
app.title("how to create menu bar color in tkinter")
app.geometry("800x500")

menubar = tk.Menu(app, background='black', fg='white')

file = tk.Menu(menubar, tearoff=False, background='yellow', fg='red')
edit = tk.Menu(menubar, tearoff=False, background='pink', fg='green')

file.add_command(label="New")
file.add_command(label="Exit", command=app.quit)

edit.add_command(label="Cut")
edit.add_command(label="Copy")
edit.add_command(label="Paste")

menubar.add_cascade(label="File", menu=file)
menubar.add_cascade(label="Edit", menu=edit)

app.config(menu=menubar)
app.mainloop()
