CTkOptionMenu -one change a list of second

[JanVasko1]

Hello All,

I have question related to "values" used for "CTkOptionMenu". In my case I have 2x - CTkOptionMenu in my project and selection in one "CTkOptionMenu" has to update a list selection for values for second "CTkOptionMenu".

What to archive: Let user select value from list1 in "CTkOptionMenu1" and according to value selected the options in "CTkOptionMenu2" must be changed according to Activity_by_Type_dict where "Proejct_Type = CTkOptionMenu1.get()"

Project_Type_list = ["CRQ", "INC", "INT","PROJECT"]
Activity_by_Type_dict = {
    "0": {
        "Project_Type": "CRQ",
        "Activity": [
            "Analysis",
            "Bug Fixing",
            "Consultancy",
            "Data Migration",
            "Design",
            "Development (programming)",
            "Parametrization",
            "Project Management",
            "Technical Support",
            "Testing",
            "User Training"
        ]
    },
    "1": {
        "Project_Type": "INC",
        "Activity": [
            "Analysis",
            "Bug Fixing",
            "Consultancy",
            "Data Migration",
            "Design",
            "Development (programming)",
            "Parametrization",
            "Technical Support",
            "Testing",
            "User Training"
        ]
    },
    "2": {
        "Project_Type": "INT",
        "Activity": [
            "Admin",
            "Analysis",
            "Conference and Training Lead",
            "Consultancy",
            "Illness",
            "Sick Leave",
            "Training",
            "Travel Time (Other)",
            "Vacation"
        ]
    },
    "3": {
        "Project_Type": "PROJECT",
        "Activity": [
            "Analysis",
            "Bug Fixing",
            "Consultancy",
            "Data Migration",
            "Design",
            "Development (programming)",
            "Parametrization",
            "Project Management",
            "Technical Support",
            "Testing",
            "Travel Time (Project)",
            "User Training"
        ]
    }
}

Can anyone help me? I tried to implement it somehow but never succeed, does anyone know any discussion / issue / text where this was solved?

Thank you

Instead of this lengthy stuff, could you simply explain your problem along with a sample reproducible code?
As I can get your problem for now, you want to change an option menu option based on the selection of the other option menu.
Here is sample code to do so:

import tkinter as tk
import customtkinter as ctk

opts = {"A": "1", "B": "2", "C": "3"}

def on_click(value):
	opt_m2.set(opts[value])

app = ctk.CTk()

opt_m1 = ctk.CTkOptionMenu(app, values=list(opts.keys()), command=on_click)
opt_m1.place(relx=0.5, anchor="center", rely=0.4)

opt_m2 = ctk.CTkOptionMenu(app, values=list(opts.values()))
opt_m2.place(relx=0.5, anchor="center", rely=0.6)



app.mainloop()

Hello there,

so here is sample of reproducible code

import customtkinter as ctk
Project_Type_list = ["CRQ", "INC", "INT","PROJECT"]
Activity_by_Type_dict = {
    "0": {
        "Project_Type": "CRQ",
        "Activity": [
            "Analysis",
            "Bug Fixing",
            "Consultancy",
            "Data Migration",
            "Design",
            "Development (programming)",
            "Parametrization",
            "Project Management",
            "Technical Support",
            "Testing",
            "User Training"
        ]
    },
    "1": {
        "Project_Type": "INC",
        "Activity": [
            "Analysis",
            "Bug Fixing",
            "Consultancy",
            "Data Migration",

            "Technical Support",
            "Testing",
            "User Training"
        ]
    },
    "2": {
        "Project_Type": "INT",
        "Activity": [
            "Admin",
            "Analysis",
            "Conference and Training Lead",
            "Consultancy",
            "Illness",
            "Sick Leave",
            "Training",
            "Travel Time (Other)",
            "Vacation"
        ]
    },
    "3": {
        "Project_Type": "PROJECT",
        "Activity": [
            "Analysis",
            "Bug Fixing",
            "Consultancy",
            "Data Migration",
            "Design",
            "Development (programming)",
            "Parametrization",
            "Project Management",
            "Technical Support",
            "Testing",
            "Travel Time (Project)",
            "User Training"
        ]
    }
}

def on_click(value):
    global Activity_list
    # Find proper list based on Project_Type
    for key, value in Activity_by_Type_dict.items():
        Project_Type = value["Project_Type"]
        if Project_Type == value:
            Activity_list = value["Activity"]
            break
        else:
            pass

Activity_list = [""]

app = ctk.CTk()
app.geometry("200x200")

opt_m1 = ctk.CTkOptionMenu(app, values=Project_Type_list, command=on_click)
opt_m1.pack()

opt_m2 = ctk.CTkOptionMenu(app, values=Activity_list)
opt_m2.pack()

app.mainloop()

example:
if I select the "INC" in first OptionMenu second one should have only Activity_list = [
"Analysis",
"Bug Fixing",
"Consultancy",
"Data Migration",
"Design",
"Development (programming)",
"Parametrization",
"Technical Support",
"Testing",
"User Training"
] to choose from.

Here it is:
Your updated code:

            "Project Management",
            "Technical Support",
            "Testing",
            "Travel Time (Project)",
            "User Training"
        ]
    }
}

def on_click(value):
    global Activity_list
    # Find proper list based on Project_Type
    for key, val in Activity_by_Type_dict.items():
        Project_Type = val["Project_Type"]
        if Project_Type == value:
            opt_m2.configure(values= val["Activity"])
            break
        else:
            pass
          

Activity_list = [""]

app = tk.Tk()
app.geometry("200x200")

opt_m1 = ctk.CTkOptionMenu(app, values=Project_Type_list, command=on_click)
opt_m1.pack()

opt_m2 = ctk.CTkOptionMenu(app, values=Activity_list)
opt_m2.pack(pady=70)

app.mainloop()

Don't keep same name for function argument and loop variable, it will replace the old value of value and value. Use .configure(values=new_list) to update OptionMenu list. You can also set default value of the OptionMenu by using .set(value) method.
