Discussed in https://github.com/TomSchimansky/CustomTkinter/discussions/249

is it possible to have like a default tkinter scroll bar for these items?if so any examples? also how do i stop these when clicked on taking up the full size of my screen?

TomSchimansky commented 2 years ago

Are you using Linux? On Windows and macOS the tkinter menu which is used for the dropdown menu has some sort of scrolling, but not on Linux for some reason. I will have a look if its possible to maybe use a tsk menu or something.

no im on windows, and yes it has 2 arrows top and bottom of the dropdown.. but was wondering if you could attach an actual scroll bar? also is there a way to set fixed height of the dropdown when its opened? as if you have a lot its spans the whole screen

As far as I can see there is no option to set the max height for a tkinter menu: https://anzeljg.github.io/rin2/book2/2405/docs/tkinter/menu.html https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30027138/how-to-get-set-menu-widget-height

oh yea.. i think i might have to swap to a combo box then as you can limit them.. possible to add from your end to dropdowns too?

Hello, The regular drop-down menu has limited options. TKinter also has combobox which look much better in some cases. The current combobox in CTk doesn't look good for longer lists ; /

@Azuremoon13 @GGTEC @wojas007 Here is a custom made menu with scrollable options: https://github.com/Akascape/CTkScrollableDropdown

It is easy to use, just attach the name of the combobox/optionmenu.

Why this scrollable Dropdown is so laggy when there is like 50 items to choose? Is it just me ?

@AnonymousVibrate I have the same problem, just started playing with it because i also have a list of around that length to chose from. It also happens to not properly show the selected item (keeps showing default/first item at least some times), even though the command is executed with the correct argument)
