Popup Menu

[Danalfa]

is there any way to make a popup menu, with copy, paste and cut functions?

Hi @Danalfa,
Here is an example of fully featured popup menu with copy paste and cut functionalities:

Screenshot

Code

import tkinter
import customtkinter

def do_popup(event, frame):
    """ open the popup menu """
    try: frame.tk_popup(event.x_root, event.y_root)
    finally: frame.grab_release()
            
def cut_text():
    """ cut text operation """
    copy_text()
    try: textbox.delete(tkinter.SEL_FIRST, tkinter.SEL_LAST)
    except: pass
    
def copy_text():
    """ copy text operation """
    root.clipboard_clear()
    try: root.clipboard_append(textbox.get(tkinter.SEL_FIRST, tkinter.SEL_LAST))
    except: pass
    
def paste_text():
    """ paste text operation """
    try: textbox.insert(textbox.index('insert'), root.clipboard_get())
    except: pass

def clear_text():
    """ clears the textbox """
    textbox.delete("1.0","end")
    
root = customtkinter.CTk()

# Add a right click tkinter menu
right_click_menu = tkinter.Menu(root, tearoff=False, bg='black', fg='white', activebackground="grey",
                                borderwidth=0, bd=0)
right_click_menu.add_command(label="cut", command=cut_text)
right_click_menu.add_command(label="copy", command=copy_text)
right_click_menu.add_command(label="paste", command=paste_text)
right_click_menu.add_command(label="clear", command=clear_text)

# Add a textbox
textbox = customtkinter.CTkTextbox(root, undo=True)
textbox.pack(fill="both", expand=True, padx=20, pady=20)

# Textbox bindings
textbox.bind("<Button-3>", lambda event: do_popup(event, right_click_menu))
textbox.bind("<Button-2>", lambda event: do_popup(event, right_click_menu))

root.mainloop()

I will explore a way to add the menu so that it works correctly regardless of dark or light mode

[Akascape]

@Danalfa It's easy to change the menu colors with respect to dark/light mode.

Use this method:

right_click_menu = tkinter.Menu(root, tearoff=False, bg=root._apply_appearance_mode(['white','black']), fg=root._apply_appearance_mode(['black','white']), activebackground='grey',
                                borderwidth=0, bd=0)

Perfect, I added the Menu directly to the Entry.py code, now I have it in all the entrys in my system, I just couldn't find how to remove that white border that is in dark mode

@Danalfa That white border cannot be removed, it is by default in tkinter in windows. Moreover comboboxes and optionmenus also have that same tkmenu.
If you want to replace it then check this customised menu: https://github.com/Akascape/CTkScrollableDropdown
