Fredrik, Thanks so much. That worked.
Following this, I can now see that my combo2 has no previous elements
and contains only the elements relevant to selection in combo1.
Now, as soon as I select something in combo 2 and go back to change
selection in combo1 the combo2 must get its history cleared up (i.e
the previous selection in combo2's entry subwidget)
I used the command before I delete the entires :
self.combo2.config(history = False)
But this does not seem to be working;
Here is my code snippet:
****************
Inside the callback function of combo1:
for libName, libResults in self.__libVerDict.items():
if libName == selectedLibName:
#Get the list of labelled results
resultsVer = self.__libVerDict[libName]
self.combo2.config(state = NORMAL)
self.combo2.config(history = False)
#Delete the previous entries from the listbox
#subwidget of combo box
subLB = self.combo2.subwidget("listbox")
subLB.delete(0, END)
#Add the results to the combo box
for results in resultsVer:
self.combo2.insert(END, results)
