I'm wondering if anyone can give me a quick simple fix for my issue.
I'm trying to make a program (as a gcse mock) that will obtain the position of words in a sentence.
I have the sentence bit working great in the text however I want to go above and beyond to get the highest possible marks so I'm creating it again with a gui!
So far I have the following code and it's not working correctly, it's not updating the 'sentence' variable and I'm looking for a simple way around fixing this Instead of updating. I get some random number which I'm not sure where it has come from. Any help will be much appreciated. :)
#MY CODE:
#GCSE MOCK TASK WITH GUI
import tkinter
from tkinter import *
sentence = ("Default")
window = tkinter.Tk()
window.resizable(width=FALSE, height=FALSE)
window.title("Sentence")
window.geometry("400x300")
#Add custom logo here later on
def findword():
print ("")
sentencetext = tkinter.Label(window, text="Enter Sentence: ")
sentence = tkinter.Entry(window)
sentencebutton = tkinter.Button(text="Submit")
findword = tkinter.Label(window, text="Enter Word To Find: ")
wordtofind = tkinter.Entry(window)
findwordbutton = tkinter.Button(text="Find!", command = findword)
usersentence = sentence.get()
usersentence = tkinter.Label(window,text=sentence)
shape = Canvas (bg="grey", cursor="arrow", width="400", height="8")
shape2 = Canvas (bg="grey", cursor="arrow", width="400", height="8")
#Packing & Ordering Modules
sentencetext.pack()
sentence.pack()
sentencebutton.pack()
shape.pack()
findword.pack()
wordtofind.pack()
findwordbutton.pack()
usersentence.pack()
shape2.pack()
window.mainloop()
Currently your sentence's 'submit' button doesn't actually have a command bound, and the two 'sentence' references are likely to conflict:
sentencebutton = tkinter.Button(text="Submit")
sentence = ("Default")
sentence = tkinter.Entry(window)
I can see that what you've tried to do is set it so that the variable sentence changes from "Default" to whatever one enters in the Entry window - this will not work, all you've done is set it so that sentence becomes the entry widget itself, not whatever is entered.
I would recommend creating a function called something like 'update_sentence', and rename your initial 'sentence' variable to distinguish it from the label:
var_sentence = "default"
def update_sentence:
var_sentence = sentence.get()
And then change your button so it has a command, like so:
sentencebutton = tkinter.Button(text="Submit", command = update_sentence)
Hope this helps!

def move(sp, t):
if sp == "eightA":
sps = eightA
if t == "sixA":
st = sixA
if st == " ":
# target is empty
sps["text"] = " "
st["text"] = str(sps["text"])
Hello Everyone, Im trying to make this function to "move" text from a tkinter button to another, lets say sp is what i want to move, and t is the target so i want to move text
from the button eightA to sixA, also note that i want to be able to use this function on any 2 buttons, Its hard to explain, but please help if you can, the code above is one i tried out of alot other which didnt work,
Thanks
Procedure
Store the text on first button in a variable
Configure first button to have no text
Configure second button to have text stored in variable
Example
btn1 = tk.Button(text="Hello")
btn2 = tk.Button(text="Not Hello")
# store text on btn1 in a variable
txt = btn1['text']
# configure btn1 to have no text
btn1.config(text="")
# configure btn2 to have text stored in variable
btn2.config(text=txt)
So your function would look like
def move(btn1, btn2):
txt = btn1['text']
btn1.config(text=" ")
btn2.config(text=txt)
the code might be a little non-standart / messy. it's basically a guess the number game..
Any way, i want to change the label after the user pressing the yes/no button. i had some ideas but non of them worked well.. please help me :)
currently the label is "start from last time?" and i would like to change it to "choose a number between 1 - 99".
label = Label(root, text="start from last time?")
label.pack()
this is the function that activates when the user pressing the button, you can ignore what is written there just add the code :)
def yes():
fd = open("save.txt", "r")
data = fd.read()
data = data.split("|")
global answer
answer = int(data[0])
global attempts
attempts = int(data[1])
fd.close()
btnYes.pack_forget()
btnNo.pack_forget()
entryWindow.pack()
btnCheck.pack()
btnQuit.pack()
btnSave.pack()
root.geometry("500x150")
text.set("You Have {0} attempts Remaining! Good Luck!".format(attempts))
If what you are trying to do is to change the tk.Label text there are two ways to do it.
Label.config(text="Whaterver you want")
or
Label["text"] = "New Text"
I just started to learn Python and I'm trying to create a mineral counter by only using letters for microscopic petrography, but I am having problems passing my python code to Tkinker. Can you guys give tips about how to get my output to work? I'm finding it challenging to use theget() method even with online tutorials.
Can you guys teach this noob? Thank you!
My original code:
# define sample
sample = "qreqqwer"
# mineral q:
mineralq= "q"
countq = sample.count(mineralq)
# print count of q
print("The quantity of q is: ", countq)
The structure I made with Tkinker:
from tkinter import *
import tkinter as tk
# Window
window=tk.Tk()
window.title("Mineral Counter")
window.geometry("800x1000")
window.configure(bg="#00090F")
inputUser=tk.Text(window,width=225,height=5,font=("Arial bold",12),wrap="word", bg="#00090F", fg="white")
inputUser.pack()
# define sample
# mineral q:
countq = inputUser.count("q")
# print count of q
output.insert(tk.INSERT,countq)
output=tk.Text(window,width=20,height=2,font=("Arial bold",12), bg="#00090F", fg="white")
output.pack()
window.mainloop()
You need a button to update your code, becuase initially the Text boxes are empty and hence there is no occurence for q so nothing can be inserted.
Try this out:
First create a button with a function to click onto after the data is entered
b = tk.Button(window, text='Click Me', command=click)
b.pack()
Then now define the function that the button calls when is clicked onto
def click():
sample = inputUser.get('1.0', 'end-1c') #getting value from text box 1
mineralq = 'q' #letter to be counted
countq = sample.count(mineralq) #counting the letter
output.insert('1.0', f'The quantity of q is: {countq}') #inserting the output to text box 2
Hope it cleared your doubt, if any errors do let me know
Cheers
I am making a text editor in tkinter for code, and I want to loop through every single word in the ScrolledText, and then change the color of it depending which word it is, but how?
I've already searched it up and found nothing that helped me. I also tried it on myself but I didn't know how to loop through the words forever (since while True made the program stop responding) and I don't know how to change the text color for only one bit.
This is all the code of my editor, some variables are defined in different functions:
def bie_save():
bie_file_read = open(bie_file,"r")
contents = bie_file_read.read()
bie_file_read.close()
data = text_area.get("1.0",tk.END + "-1c")
bie_file_file = open(bie_file,"w")
bie_file_file.write(data)
bie_file_file.close()
def builtin_editor(file,protype,proname):
global bie_file
bie_file = file
bie = tk.Tk()
bie.title("FIDE - Editor")
bie.geometry("800x450")
global text_area
text_area = st.ScrolledText(bie,width=800,height=450)
text_area.pack()
bie_file_read = open(bie_file,"r")
contents = bie_file_read.read()
bie_file_read.close()
text_area.insert("1.0",contents)
menu = tk.Menu(bie)
bie.config(bg=bg_theme,menu=menu)
fileMenu = tk.Menu(menu)
menu.add_cascade(label="File",menu=fileMenu)
fileMenu.add_command(label="Save",command=bie_save)
fileMenu.add_separator()
fileMenu.add_command(label="Exit")
bie.mainloop()
I want it like when you type "pass" it changes to orange or something like that, but if you type something else it won't.
I want to make a program that show me the divisors of the number introduced in a text box using python tkinter GUI and store the results into a plain text file.
I don't how to get the value from the text box. I understood that is something linked with get() , I read something but I still don't get it.
Here is the code:
from tkinter import *
def create_file():
file_object = open("C:/Users/valis/Desktop/Divisors.txt","w+")
def evaluate():
show_after= Label(text= "Check your Desktop !")
show_after.pack(pady=2, anchor=SW)
create_file()
#Windows size and Title
window = Tk()
window.title("Show Divisors")
window.geometry("300x100")
message = Label(window, text="Enter a number : ")
message.pack(pady=2, anchor=NW)
textbox_input = Text(window,height=1, width=11)
textbox_input.pack(padx= 2,pady= 2, anchor=NW)
window.mainloop()
The code isn't complete, so what should I do ?
As you said, you will use the get() function but with some additional attributes.
If we have a text box textbox_input, then you can return its input using this line:
test_input = textbox_input.get("1.0",END)
The first part, "1.0" means that the input should be read from line one, character zero (ie: the very first character). END is an imported constant which is set to the string "end". The END part means to read until the end of the text box is reached.
