Hide or removing a menubar of tkinter in python

I can set my menu with the following instruction:

my_tk.config(menu=my_menu_bar)

But, How do I remove it or hide it completely?

my_tk.config(menu=None)

doesn't work :-(

Solution

  • Another way is:

    from tkinter import *
root = Tk()

menubar = Menu(root)
root.config(menu=menubar)

submenu = Menu(menubar)
menubar.add_cascade(label="Submenu", menu=submenu)
submenu.add_command(label="Option 1")
submenu.add_command(label="Option 2")
submenu.add_command(label="Option 3")

def remove_func():
    emptyMenu = Menu(root)
    root.config(menu=emptyMenu)

remove_button = Button(root, text="Remove", command=remove_func)
remove_button.pack()

    What's different:
    in

    def remove_func():

    created an empty menu

    emptyMenu = Menu(root)

    and replaced it with the current menu (menubar)

    root.config(menu=emptyMenu)
