disable smart option menu? #47

Closed ghost closed 3 years ago

ghost commented 3 years ago

I am using tk-tools for first time and I am trying to temporarily disable the smart option menu and re-enable later.

I used this I found in the docs:

tk_tools.enable=False

which doesn't seem to work, I can find no way of refreshing the widget either,

working on the assigned name of the widget (drop_down in my case) doesn't work either, causes an error.

Any ideas?

Greetings -

There is no way to disable the SmartOptionMenu at this time. The blurb that you posted must have been from a different section of the documentation or, perhaps, got confused with a different library as I can find no reference to that particular like. My recommendation would be to write your own OptionMenu variant which implements the exact behavior that you require. Good luck!

OK thank you, fair enough, the smart option menu is awesome btw thank you for this great library. Yes I did get the enable option from elsewhere in the docs, should have said that, I just hoped it would work, as it didn't throw an error I thought I was onto something, no worries. I don't think I have the competence yet to edit your SOM code but I will have a try.
