how to resolve attributeerror: 'optionmenu' object has no attribute 'get' in python

The OptionMenu widget in tkinter does not have a get() method by default, which is what causes the AttributeError. To resolve this, you can create a custom function to get the value of the OptionMenu widget.

Here's an example code snippet:


main.py
from tkinter import *

root = Tk()

# Create a StringVar to store the selected option
selected_option = StringVar(root)

# Create the OptionMenu widget
options = ['Option 1', 'Option 2', 'Option 3']
option_menu = OptionMenu(root, selected_option, *options)
option_menu.pack()

# Create a custom function to get the selected option
def get_selected_option():
    print(selected_option.get())

# Create a button to call the custom function
button = Button(root, text='Get Selected Option', command=get_selected_option)
button.pack()

root.mainloop()
548 chars
22 lines

In the example above, we create a custom function called get_selected_option() that uses the get() method on the StringVar object to retrieve the currently selected option in the OptionMenu widget. We then create a button that calls this function when clicked.
