As described by the man page, tk_optionMenu returns the path to the menu associated with the optionMenu. Once you get the menu name you can use normal menu commands. set menu [tk_optionMenu .om whatever red green blue] $menu insert end separator $menu insert end command -label "Hello, world" pack .om -- Bryan Oakley http://www.tclscripting.com On May 9, 2:43 pm, Bryan Oakley <oak@bardo.clearlight.com> wrote: - Hide quoted text - > hjin wrote: > > How to add new items into the the option menu created by > > tk_optionMenu? > > Thanks a lot! > As described by the man page, tk_optionMenu returns the path to the menu > associated with the optionMenu.

The menu is only visible when you click on the widget, so selecting it doesn't really do anything on it's own, the menubutton is what is visible. When you create the option menu, you give it a variable, just set that variable to the value you want and the widget will update appropriately. Bruce
