Bascially, you really cannot use the result of tk_optionMenu the way you can use the result of normal widget creation functions. Try this code instead (which works with Tcl/Tk 8.4.7 under CentOS 4.5): ========================================= set FR0 [ labelframe .fr0 -text "Test" ]; set lb1 [ label $FR0.name1 -text "Name:" ]; set op_menubut1 $FR0.op1 set op_menu1 [ tk_optionMenu $op_menubut1 v_op1 "A" "B" "C" ]; set lb2 [ label $FR0.name2 -text "Name2::" ]; set op_menubut2 $FR0.op2 set op_menu2 [ tk_optionMenu $op_menubut2 v_op2 "X" "Y" "Z" ]; grid $lb1 $op_menubut1 -row 1 grid $lb2 $op_menubut2 -row 2 pack $FR0 ========================================= > > Thanks in advance, > -- Robert Heller -- Get the Deepwoods Software FireFox Toolbar!
