Here @sedeh, this works as you wanted it to. The error came not from your add ons, but I think from using from tkinter import * instead of import tkinter as tk, this is why when running your code the error comes up as soon as the tk window comes up.

What I have done is taken the code from the link you gave, added what you did and it works with no error.

import tkinter as tk
import tkinter.messagebox

class App(tk.Frame):
    def __init__(self, master):
        tk.Frame.__init__(self, master)
        self.dict = {'Asia': ['Japan', 'China', 'Malasia'],
                     'Europe': ['Germany', 'France', 'Switzerland'],
                     'Africa': ['Nigeria', 'Kenya', 'Ethiopia']}
        self.variable_a = tk.StringVar(self)
        self.variable_b = tk.StringVar(self)
        self.variable_a.trace('w', self.updateoptions)
        self.optionmenu_a = tk.OptionMenu(self, self.variable_a, *self.dict.keys())
        self.optionmenu_b = tk.OptionMenu(self, self.variable_b, '')
        self.variable_a.set('Asia')
        self.optionmenu_a.pack()
        self.optionmenu_b.pack()
        self.btn = tk.Button(self, text="Submit", width=8, command=self.submit)
        self.btn.pack()
        self.pack()
    def updateoptions(self, *args):
        countries = self.dict[self.variable_a.get()]
        self.variable_b.set(countries[0])
        menu = self.optionmenu_b['menu']
        menu.delete(0, 'end')
        for country in countries:
            menu.add_command(label=country, command=lambda country=country: self.variable_b.set(country))

    def submit(self, *args):
        var1 = self.variable_a.get()
        var2 = self.variable_b.get()
        if tkinter.messagebox.askokcancel("Selection", "Confirm selection: " + var1 + ' ' + var2):
            print(var1, var2) #Or can be other function for further processing

root = tk.Tk()
app = App(root)
app.mainloop()

I hope this helps you.
