OptionMenu

OptionMenu call reference

The OptionMenu element is a quirky tkinter-specific element that is similar to using a Combo element in read-only mode. There are not as many options (no pun intended) for the OptionMenu element compared with the Combo element. The Combo is the better choice if you need a feature such as an event when an item is selected.

import PySimpleGUI as sg

layout = [[sg.OptionMenu(['Option 1', 'Option 2', 'Option 3', 'Option 4'], default_value='Option 2', key='-OPTION MENU-')]]

Events

The OptionMenu element does not generate events.

Values Dictionary

The currently chosen item is returned in the values dictionary. Note that unlike the Combo element, a string representation of your chosen value (instead of the chosen value's original type) is returned in the values dictionary.
