ok i understand the first problem now. The second problem i also understand (a bit) but for your example you used a button and what i was planning to use it with was a radiobutton so i tried it.

Help with Code Tags

(Toggle Plain Text)

from Tkinter import *

class abler_radiobutton(Radiobutton):
    def __init__(self, master, target, cnf={}, **kw):
        Radiobutton.__init__(self, master, cnf, **kw)
        self.target = target
        self['command'] = self.disable

    def disable(self):
        self.disable_target['state'] = DISABLED

root = Tk()
root.input_text = Text(root, height = 10, width = 25)
root.input_text.grid(row = 1, column = 1, sticky = N+S+E+W)
root.mainbar_menu = Menu(root)
root.input_menu = Menu(root.mainbar_menu)
root.mainbar_menu.add_cascade(label='Input Options', menu = root.input_menu)
root.input_menu.add_abler_radiobutton(label='Input From File')

root.config(menu=root.mainbar_menu)
root.mainloop()

Obviously this doesnt work because i havent put enough in the .add_abler_radiobutton part. but i dont know exactly what to put in because the creation of this radiobutton was a lot more complicated compared to the creation of a button.

Also another question, why does the disable function have to be indented so that its created along with the class? and why is self.disable not disable(self)? and what exactly does the "button.__init__" line do.

sorry if this is to many questions i just dont like using code when i have no idea what said code actully does.
