so all the source code will be given in
0:53
the description of the videos so first
0:56
of all you need to import everything
0:58
from the trickter
1:00
package and then initialize the
1:04
window and you can set the geometry here
1:07
which is the width and the
1:13
height and then we can initialize this
1:16
widget drop-down widget we can have a
1:19
series of data that you want to display
1:22
so in this case we are displaying the
1:24
seven days in the week we initialize
1:26
this array
1:29
each option you will see we have
1:31
initialize it after that we can
1:36
simply convert this into string values
1:39
um initial value will be Monday inside
1:42
the drop-down widget and we have this
1:45
widget here which is option menu inside
1:48
trick
1:49
enter here we can pass the
1:57
options so like this the
2:00
variable and then we can display this on
2:03
the screen by using the pack method so
2:06
this is essentially this widget which
2:08
contains these three
2:12
options and uh after
2:17
that we display a label on the screen as
2:20
well
2:35
and then we start the main loop here
2:38
root main loop that's all so that's all
2:41
that we need to do uh if you execute
2:45
this application you will see
2:49
that we have
2:58
this then we can even have a button as
3:01
well so as soon as you click the button
3:04
show you will display the value of
3:09
it the actual choice which is selected
3:13
so we can
3:16
simply option dot
3:20
get so whatever option we can get the
3:24
value of it and display this
3:30
so so you'll see that so in this easy
3:33
way you can initialize a pop-up
3:35
drop-down menu and then you can get the
3:38
value as soon as on button click you
3:40
will see we selected this Friday value
3:43
so this is the simplest of tutorials of
