The Tkinter Menubutton Widget
The Menubutton widget displays popup or pulldown menu when activated.
This widget is not documented in this version of this document. If you really need it, check the Tk documentation.
When to use the Menubutton Widget
This widget is used to implement various kinds of menus. In earlier versions of Tkinter, it was used to implement toplevel menus, but this is now done with the Menu widget.
