Menubar Problem

[WolfShield]

I am going through the Tk/Tkinter tutorial and
when I try to run the menubar program I get two windows instead of a menubar on one window.

Here is the code:

from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk
root = Tk()
root.option_add('*tearOff', FALSE)

win = Toplevel(root)
menubar = Menu(win)
win['menu'] = menubar

menubar = Menu(win)
menu_file = Menu(menubar)
menu_edit = Menu(menubar)
menubar.add_cascade(menu=menu_file, label='File')
menubar.add_cascade(menu=menu_edit, label='Edit')

menu_file.add_command(label='New', command=None)
menu_file.add_command(label='Open...', command=None)
menu_file.add_command(label='Close', command=None)

root.mainloop()

Please let me know what I am doing wrong.

Too much junk in the code, try it this way ...

from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk

root = Tk()
root.option_add('*tearOff', FALSE)

menubar = Menu(root)
root.config(menu=menubar)
menu_file = Menu(menubar)
menu_edit = Menu(menubar)
menubar.add_cascade(menu=menu_file, label='File')
menubar.add_cascade(menu=menu_edit, label='Edit')

menu_file.add_command(label='New', command=None)
menu_file.add_command(label='Open...', command=None)
menu_file.add_command(label='Close', command=None)

root.mainloop()

There are some pretty bad tutorials floating about, which one is this exactly?

[WolfShield]

I am going through this one: http://www.tkdocs.com/tutorial/

What one would you suggest?

Thank you vegaseat, my program is working right now. Was it the 'Toplevel' that was
creating the second window?

Just experiment with it!

This is sort of the Bible of Tkinter:

However bummer, you have to come up with your own examples and again experiment.

Thanks everyone!

GUI programming takes a while to get used to. I always hang up on the widget layouts.
