Python/tkinter: Bind To Event Related To Currently Selected Menu Item

Wondering if there's a menu event I can bind to that's related to the currently selected menu item? By menu item I mean the items that show up in a popup menu like New, Open, Save,

Solution 1:

You need to bind to the <<MenuSelect>> event.

Solution 2:

There's an <Enter> event that is triggered when the mouse pointer enters a widget's space. Depending on how you're building your menu, you may be able to use it.
