Adding a right click context menu with link with multiple widgets?
Making as few changes as possible to the current code, you need to do three things:
Create a global variable to hold a reference to the currently selected label.
Inside
popup
, set this variable toevent.widget
, which will be the currently selected label.Inside
print_label
, print this label's text by accessing its"text"
key.
Below is a fixed version of your program. The stuff I changed is in the comment box:
from Tkinter import * # Tkinter -> tkinter in Python 3root = Tk()#############################################################selected = None # This is the variable mentioned in step 1def print_label(): print selected["text"] # This is step 3def popup(event): global selected # Tell Python that selected is global menu.post(event.x_root, event.y_root) selected = event.widget # This is step 2############################################################## create a popup menumenu = Menu(root, tearoff=0)menu.add_command(label="Display the label", command=print_label)# create the 3 labelslabel1_text=StringVar()label2_text=StringVar()label3_text=StringVar()label1_text.set("my label 1")label2_text.set("my label 2")label3_text.set("my label 3")label1=Label(root, textvariable=label1_text)label2=Label(root, textvariable=label2_text)label3=Label(root, textvariable=label3_text)label1.pack()label2.pack()label3.pack()# attach popup to framelabel1.bind("<Button-3>", popup)label2.bind("<Button-3>", popup)label3.bind("<Button-3>", popup)root.mainloop()
