uh hello guys welcome to this video so
0:02
in this video I will show you how to add
0:04
a right click context pop-up menu inside
0:08
your uh Twinter application
0:13
so let me just show you the actual
0:17
application so I basically developed
0:20
this Python script if I just execute
0:24
this so you can basically right click on
0:29
this trick desktop application and this
0:32
context menu will show pop-up context
0:35
menu right click as soon as you right
0:37
click so I will show you how to show
0:39
this menu on right click
0:42
so whenever you're developing any sort
0:44
of application this right-click menu is
0:46
very much important because uh it
0:49
contains a lot of important options such
0:52
as cut
0:54
copy so these are all the options you
0:56
customize it accordingly as soon as you
0:59
write
1:00
click so it's very simple first of all
1:03
let me show you how to do this all the
1:05
source code is given in the
1:07
description so first of all you import
1:11
the tweer module and import this
1:15
everything and then we initialize the
1:20
window and here we specify this simple
1:25
label so we'll simply say that uh right
1:30
click to display menu
1:35
and after that we can even
1:40
display we can specify a width of this
1:43
label width 40 height is 20 and then we
1:47
can add this label on the screen so
1:50
using the pack
1:54
method so then we can have the different
1:58
options right here for the menu we can
2:01
initialize the menu and add this on the
2:05
screen and then we can have different
2:08
options to this menu using the add
2:11
command
2:12
method and here we can specify whatever
2:16
options which is cut and similarly we
2:21
can have more options using the add
2:24
command method cut copy paste reload and
2:28
if you also want to add a horizontal
2:31
vertical separator you can add this by
2:34
use calling a method which is
2:36
add separator and this will add a slight
2:40
vertical line in between the menu items
2:43
and then you can add
2:46
another which will
2:49
be
2:55
renames so we added this options
3:03
and so the menu has been successfully
3:06
added but if I try to execute this you
3:09
will you will not see the menu appear
3:13
you will see the menu is not
3:15
appearing so we need to make sure that
3:18
as I right click that menu should appear
3:20
so for doing that we need to bind a
3:24
simple method so we need to bind this to
3:29
the label so we created this label right
3:32
here so we are binding this using the
3:34
bind method on click listener so as soon
3:38
as
3:41
you so we are basically adding this this
3:45
to the
3:46
button a custom function which is do
3:50
popup so here we will define this
3:56
function so inside this function
3:58
specifically we what we do this event
4:01
parameter will automatically be passed
4:04
and write
4:06
here so we call this function which is
4:09
TK popup and right
4:14
here we take the coordinates event y
4:21
root and then inside the finally block
4:24
we
4:27
simply grab
4:29
dot
4:33
release so that's all that we need to do
4:36
we just need to add a onclick listener
4:38
to the label so as soon as we click the
4:41
we show this popup context right click
4:44
menu so inside
4:46
this so if you execute now you will
4:50
see so it is saying menu object has no
4:54
attribute crab
5:18
uh let me see what is the problem here
5:28
l.pack M
5:46
there was just a typo mis the full
5:48
source code is given in the description
5:50
guys so I think there is some kind of
5:53
typo mistake so if I execute now once
5:56
again you will see the options will show
5:59
i've given the source code on my website
6:01
