Python Python pystray update_menu, use variable text for item

[John332]

I want to change the text for an item variably. to do this, i tried to update the menu using update_menu(). unfortunately, this didn't work and i couldn't find anything more detailed in the pystray documentation. I hope you can help me. thank you.

from pystray import Icon as icon, Menu as menu, MenuItem as item
import PIL.Image

image = PIL.Image.new('RGB', (100, 100), 255)

adapter = 'before'
def test():
    global ps
    global adapter
    adapter = 'after'
    ps.update_menu()

ps = icon(name='name', icon=image, menu=menu(
        item(text='Adapter', action=menu(item(text='Test', action=test))),
        item(text=adapter, action=lambda: test()),
        )
    )
ps.run()

Hi,

first of all, I didn't code in Python for a while, so I can't give you a exact answer to your question, but perhaps my thread from a year ago can help you:

https://www.computerbase.de/forum/t...terbindet-dies-nach-ein-paar-minuten.2108332/

because I tried something similar with the pstray and PIL library.

Hi @_anonymous0815_ ,

Thanks a lot for your answer. But systray is different from pystray, isn't it? But maybe i can use systray as well. I will try it in the next days.

Oh, I'm a bit embarrassed now, I'd only skimmed the code and must have misread it.
I'm really sorry. I didn't want to give you false hope.
