I disagree with the tkinter community discouraging the use of multiple tk.Tk windows. You can have multiple tk.Tk windows. Using multiple instances of tk.Tk is the only way to create windows that are truly independent of each other. The most only mistake people do when creating multiple tk.Tk windows is that they forget to pass … Read more
I advocate an object oriented approach. This is the template that I start out with: # Use Tkinter for python 2, tkinter for python 3 import tkinter as tk class MainApplication(tk.Frame): def __init__(self, parent, *args, **kwargs): tk.Frame.__init__(self, parent, *args, **kwargs) self.parent = parent <create the rest of your GUI here> if __name__ == “__main__”: root … Read more
Overview You can only associate scrollbars with a few widgets, and the root widget and Frame aren’t part of that group of widgets. There are at least a couple of ways to do this. If you need a simple vertical or horizontal group of widgets, you can use a text widget and the window_create method … Read more
The problem is your lambda expression in the for loop. It is using the name variable, but the name variable gets reassigned each iteration of the for loop, so in the end, all of the buttons get the last value that name was assigned to in the for loop. To avoid this you can use … Read more
One way is to stack the frames on top of each other, then you can simply raise one above the other in the stacking order. The one on top will be the one that is visible. This works best if all the frames are the same size, but with a little work you can get … Read more
The variable photo is a local variable which gets garbage collected after the class is instantiated. Save a reference to the photo, for example: self.photo = tkinter.PhotoImage(…) If you do a Google search on “tkinter image doesn’t display”, the first result is this: Why do my Tkinter images not appear? (The FAQ answer is currently … Read more
The grid, pack and place functions of the Entry object and of all other widgets returns None. In python when you do a().b(), the result of the expression is whatever b() returns, therefore Entry(…).grid(…) will return None. You should split that on to two lines like this: entryBox = Entry(root, width=60) entryBox.grid(row=2, column=1, sticky=W) That … Read more
Consider this code: b = Button(admin, text=”as”, command=button(‘hey’)) It does exactly the same as this: result = button(‘hey’) b = button(admin, text=”as”, command=result) Likewise, if you create a binding like this: listbox.bind(“<<ListboxSelect>>”, some_function()) … it’s the same as this: result = some_function() listbox.bind(“<<ListboxSelect>>”, result) The command option takes a reference to a function, which is … Read more
You are inserting a list or tuple into the listbox instead of a string. You need to explicitly convert each row to a string before passing to the insert method. Otherwise, the underlying tcl interpreter will try to preserve the list-like structure of the data by adding curly braces or backslashes when converting the value … Read more
