We will now add a more complex menu to our data entry application. This menu will allow the user to manage the functionality of the application via the menu in the same manner as they would when using the buttons.
In the following example, we will create a menu that contains an option to exit a window. Create the following text file and save it in your working path with the name address_book.tcl:
# Load the Tk Package package require Tk # Main Frame frame .main -borderwidth 1 -relief solid -padx 10 -pady 10 # Entry Widgets entry .main.efirst -width 25 entry .main.elast -width 25 entry .main.eaddress -width 50 entry .main.ecity -width 25 entry .main.estate -width 3 entry .main.ezip -width 5 entry .main.ephone -width 25 # Label Widgets label .main.first -text "First Name" label .main.last -text "Last Name" label .main.address -text "Address" label .main.city -text "City" label .main.state -text "ST" label .main.zip -text "Zip" label .main.phone -text "Phone" label .main.photo -text "Photo" -width 15 # Frame for Photo Widget frame .main.picture -width 120 -height 160 -borderwidth 3 -background black # Button Widgets button .main.previous -text "Previous" -width 15 button .main.next -text "Next" -width 15 button .main.add -text "Add" -width 15 button .main.save -text "Save" -width 15 button .main.delete -text "Delete" -width 15 button .main.exit -text "Exit" -width 15 -command exit # Pack Command pack .main # Grid command grid configure .main.efirst -row 0 -column 0 -sticky nw grid configure .main.elast -row 0 -column 1 -columnspan 2 -sticky nw grid configure .main.picture -row 0 -column 3 -rowspan 7 -sticky nw grid configure .main.first -row 1 -column 0 -sticky nw grid configure .main.last -row 1 -column 1 -columnspan 2 -sticky nw grid configure .main.eaddress -row 2 -column 0 -columnspan 3 -sticky nw grid configure .main.address -row 3 -column 0 -columnspan 3 -sticky nw grid configure .main.ecity -row 4 -column 0 -sticky nw grid configure .main.estate -row 4 -column 1 -sticky nw grid configure .main.ezip -row 4 -column 2 -sticky nw grid configure .main.city -row 5 -column 0 -sticky nw grid configure .main.state -row 5 -column 1 -sticky nw grid configure .main.zip -row 5 -column 2 -sticky nw grid configure .main.ephone -row 6 -column 0 -columnspan 2 -sticky nw grid configure .main.phone -row 7 -column 0 -columnspan 2 -sticky nw grid configure .main.photo -row 7 -column 3 -sticky nw grid configure .main.previous -row 8 -column 0 -sticky ne grid configure .main.next -row 8 -column 2 -sticky nw grid configure .main.add -row 9 -column 0 -sticky ne grid configure .main.save -row 9 -column 1 -sticky nw grid configure .main.delete -row 9 -column 2 -sticky nw grid configure .main.exit -row 9 -column 3 -sticky nw # Menu Creation menu .menubar . configure -menu .menubar # Add the first item set File [menu .menubar.myfile] .menubar add cascade -label File -menu .menubar.myfile # Add entries $File add command -label "Add Record" -command addRecord $File add command -label "Save Record" -command saveRecord $File add command -label "Delete Record" -command deleteRecord $File add separator $File add command -label "Quit" -command exit set Edit [menu .menubar.myedit] .menubar add cascade -label Edit -menu .menubar.myedit $Edit add command -label "Find" -command findRecord
Now launch the program by invoking the following command line.
tclsh85 address_book.tcl
You should now see the following window:
