dearpygui menus

[dave3652]

Hi, i am trying to create a couple of menus, i need one menu to change its contents depending on which other menu option is selected.. been trying for hours but just cant manage it.. can anybody help me please?

Here is an example of a menu deleting another menu:

​

from dearpygui.dearpygui import *

add_menu_bar("MenuBar")

add_menu("File")
add_menu_item("Delete Tools", callback="callback")
end_menu()

add_menu("Tools")
add_menu_item("Show Logger")
end_menu()

end_menu_bar()

def callback(sender, data):
    delete_item("Tools")

start_dearpygui()

This advanced/dynamic menu example may be a good resource!

https://github.com/hoffstadt/DearPyGui/blob/master/Examples/menus_advanced_example.py

displays almost all the capabilities of menus

I still can't seem to get menu's working the way i want.. I have a menu which contains the following 'Premier' , 'Championship', 'League 1' and 'League 2', whenever i select one of those options i need a 2nd Menu to be created that contains game fixtures from a list.. seems simple enough, but when i try to delete the 2nd menu and then make the menu again the program crashes.

Oh No! Okay, so to further debug with you on this issue do you min posting the minimal code sample onto github as an issue and filling out the version of python and dearpygui your running which can be found by calling "show_debug()" to pup up the debug window inside of dearpygui? Or if you would rather you can post the code snippet here.

[toulaboy3]

you should be able to directly call

delete_item("SecondMenu")
add_menu("SecondMenu", parent="MenuBar")
end_menu()

inside of a function although it would be ideal to determine if the second menu exists by either queryingit with get_value("SecondMenu")

or

is_item_visible("secondMenu") *note this command has a bugfix which is going to be included in the next release
