Thread: [Pythoncard-users] Getting event when clicking on menu bar

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hi list,

I am not receiving any event when clicking on the menu
bar.

Is there a way to do that?

Thanks,

def on_doHelpAbout_command(self, event):
        self.addConsoleText("Add an About Box Someday.")        

             {'type':'Menu',
             'name':'menuHelp',
             'label':'&Help',
             'items': [
                  {'type':'MenuItem',
                   'name':'menuHelpAbout',
                   'label':'&About ...',
                   'command':'doHelpAbout',
                  },

Thanks for the reply.

No, I know how to get it when an menuItem is clicked.

I need it when the menu itself is clicked.

I don't think it is possible - certainly nothing shows up in the 
MessageWatcher.

It may be possible to use some wxPython facility directly - but I didn't 
see anything helpful in a quick scan through the wxPython docs.

	Check out wx.EVT_MENU_OPEN and wx.EVT_MENU_CLOSE - they should do  
what you need, although in my experience, they are flaky in Windows.
