On a click of a button named "Add Textbox" it calls a function which creates a single textbox using (gtk.Entry) function. So each time i click that button it creates a textbox. I have a submit button which should fetches all the values of the text boxes(say 10 textboxes) generated with the name of "entry". It works for one textbox but not for multiple. In php we can create dynamix textboxes mentioning as an array name=entry[]. Do we have similar functionality in python ?
Enviroment : FC10 , Glade 3 , Python 2.5 , GTK.
You could be a bit clearer, it's not obvious what you do with your GtkEntry after creating it. The easiest thing would be to just add it to a Python list, so you can iterate over all created GtkEntry widgets later.
Or, you could "tag" the widgets with something to make them identifiable, and iterate over the containing widgets (assuming you really do add the widget to a window or something).

I am making a user interface with tkinter's treeview and one thing that I want to be able to do with it is to allow the user the ability to change the names displayed by the items whenever they want. However, from what I can tell from the documentation, the function that could do this, set only allows for column values to be changed.
Is there any way to change the text of a treeview item without deleting it and remaking it?
I am currently working on a project using Python and tkinter.
The problem is that I don't know what's the proper way to display multiple windows, or screens, I don't know how to call them. Let me explain better.
When the application starts the login screen appears. After that, if I click register, I want to go to the register screen, but I don't want it to be a separate window (I don't want to have 2 windows displayed at the same time), but rather another window with different content ?!
How should I handle properly this situation? Create a second window using Toplevel and hiding the first (can I do that?) or changing the widgets of the first?
Code I've written so far
You can do that- just call window.withdraw() on the Toplevel you need to hide after creating a new Toplevel. Changing the widgets in the first is also an option- if you like, you could always try a Notebook widget and disable manual flipping or just put each "screen" in a frame and grid_ or pack_forget them to remove them from the window.
I have two questions regarding tkinter that I cant seem to find the answer too.
1) I currently have 2 radio buttons. I have programmed them in such a way that when one of them is clicked another definition is called and that creates a regular button on the screen. Now my problem is, if the user toggles between the both radio buttons, each time a new button will be created (instead of just having 1 the first time he toggles the options). Is there any way I can stop the extra buttons from being created if one already exsists?
2) Is there a widget that can easily be used to create check box lists?
EDIT: Sorry, I meant check box list not radio button list.
1> Define you button outside the eventHandler of the radiobutton.
inside the event handler only grid/pack it,whenever the radiobutton is pressed. In this way the button will not be defined multiple times.
N.B. Use fix row & column with the grid if you need.
I don't know How structure the GUI of my program...
I don't have big experience with GUI programming, i know all the widgets, the
geometry managers, the "object-oriented" method in Tkinter, but i don't understand
how combine all this things...
I want to create a program with an image in background where there is a button and if i press this button i switch in another page and the button disappears
Like this : https://moqups.com/iampirla#gmail.com/wyM7CyET/p:a80e8d902
How i can structure my code to do this?
You could use pack_forget() this removes the widget although allows you to use it later if you wish. You could do the first page and then use some code like below. To clear the page. This could then reference the next thing you wish to do using in this example question().
def answred():
nameLabel.pack_forget()
nameEntry.pack_forget()
nameButton.pack_forget()
classQuestion.pack_forget()
button1.pack_forget()
button2.pack_forget()
button3.pack_forget()
question()
You could this but not remove the background widgets
I know how to create a Listbox using Tkinter but this only allows me to display a list of single items. I need to create a expandable list that allows the user to hit something along the lines of a + next to the item which in turn opens up a new list with + buttons next to each item until you reach the leaf of a list. I was wondering if there was a way to implement this type of expandable list using Tkinter or if not if there was a different Python GUI tool that could do so?
The widget you are looking for is commonly called a "tree" or "hierarchical tree".
If you're using python2.7 or greater you can use ttk.Treeview widget.
For older versions of python you can use Tix.Tree. You can also search for "tkinter tree" on google and you'll find several other variations such as this one.
