is it possible to add a qlabel or qpushbutton in a qmenu, trying to make a popup window which is not a popup window, just a menu which is "linked" to the main window, if that makes sense

hey everyone, here im currently making a spam bot for one of my friends and it spams the bee movie, everytime i try to run it i get this error any clue why? FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'bee'

#

im using pycharm btw

eager beacon Sep 17, 2020, 4:02 AM

#

from sqlite docs
The rowid of a rowid table can be accessed (or changed) by reading or writing to any of the "rowid" or "oid" or "_rowid_" columns

lyric nebula Sep 17, 2020, 4:02 AM

#

oooh i get it thanks!

misty moon Sep 17, 2020, 4:03 AM

#

import pyautogui, time
time.sleep(5)
f = open("bee", 'r')
for word in f:
pyautogui.typewrite(word)
pyautogui.press("enter")
this is the full code lol if anyone could help me it would be very appreciated

#

and its line 3 that is getting the error

eager beacon Sep 17, 2020, 4:05 AM

#

the file doesn't exist. the r flag only opens files

misty moon Sep 17, 2020, 4:06 AM

#

i have a bee movie text file called bee so shouldnt it open it?

eager beacon Sep 17, 2020, 4:07 AM

#

is it called bee.txt? if it's only named bee, then its not in the same directory as your script

misty moon Sep 17, 2020, 4:08 AM

#

so i need to rename the bee text file bee.txt and then change it to bee.txt in the actual code as well?

eager beacon Sep 17, 2020, 4:09 AM

#

Its probably already named bee.txt but only showing bee. Sometimes an OS will hide file extensions

#

either name will work so along as you're trying to read the actual file name

bronze basin Sep 17, 2020, 4:13 AM

#

or just provide the full path to it?

#

and store it in a var

#

and then open that var as path name then 'r'

orchid yoke Sep 17, 2020, 4:29 AM

How do I make it so that it registers the characters in another application? I'm using tkinter + pyautogui to type characters, When I press a button, It presses but it doesn't register it to a word processing program like ms word or notepad.

#

thats really cool

eager beacon Sep 17, 2020, 5:10 AM

#

it doesn't work because your keyboard is stealing focus from the notepad

bronze basin Sep 17, 2020, 5:20 AM

#

@orchid yoke maybe try a delay after pressing the button

#

like a 5 sec or 10 sec delay

#

then click the button

#

then click on notepad

#

then it should work

#

cause if you press it immediately what chris said above is happening

lyric nebula Sep 17, 2020, 5:32 AM

guys how do i add a bg image?

orchid yoke Sep 17, 2020, 5:38 AM

Thanks @eager beacon and @bronze basin

#

But is it possible for it to stay on the notepad without it stealing focus?

eager beacon Sep 17, 2020, 5:54 AM

#

I'm not sure how tkinter handles focus, you'd have to read the docs, but it's pretty easy to see that there is no blinking cursor in notepad.

orchid yoke Sep 17, 2020, 5:55 AM

#

Thanks

bronze basin Sep 17, 2020, 6:00 AM

#

@orchid yoke maybe if you dont want to click on notepad manually every time, you could get the coordinates of the notepad window and make pyautogui click on it with the specific coordinates and then with the delay it should be fully automated with the typing and clicking

orchid yoke Sep 17, 2020, 6:13 AM

#

That works perfectly @bronze basin , but can I get the coordinates of the position of the mouse where I last moved?

bronze basin Sep 17, 2020, 6:16 AM

#

@orchid yoke check this software

#

should help with what i said

#

Tiny Mouse Loc Tool

#

or search up mouse coordinates finder tool

eager beacon Sep 17, 2020, 6:18 AM

#

you would have to update the x value every time you typed a letter and the y value on every new line

#

I think figuring out the focus would be an easier solution

bronze basin Sep 17, 2020, 6:19 AM

#

Its what i would use when working with PyAutoGUI

#

to get the coordinates easily

#

@eager beacon true

orchid yoke Sep 17, 2020, 6:24 AM

#

I've just had an idea where If an application is running and asking input, that is where I want to place the cursor to be...

#

Only problem is that I don't know how to make python detect running applications in the background

bronze basin Sep 17, 2020, 6:25 AM

#

you would have to store the input as coordinates

#

and then use them

#

and i myself dont know how to do the second task

eager beacon Sep 17, 2020, 6:26 AM

#

im not sure how complex tkinter can get but i'd imagine you'd need to use a windows specific library to accomplish what you're trying to do

orchid yoke Sep 17, 2020, 6:26 AM

#

like win32api?

eager beacon Sep 17, 2020, 6:26 AM

#

that is, if you cant figure out how not to grab focus when you click your app

bronze basin Sep 17, 2020, 6:26 AM

#

that does sound a bit complex

eager beacon Sep 17, 2020, 6:26 AM

#

something like that, I've never used it

#

does this not work?

#

butNoFocus = Tkinter.Button(root, text ="Button no focus", takefocus = 0)

#

there are posts on stackoverflow explaining how to do it for a frame also

orchid yoke Sep 17, 2020, 6:39 AM

#

let me try the takefocus=0

#

takefocus = 0 doesn't work

eager beacon Sep 17, 2020, 6:41 AM

your main window is likely going to need it or whatever the equivalent is

@eager beacon nope

actually background is just for UI show , it is not in real application but , i can apply by changing transparent background like

eager beacon Sep 17, 2020, 7:52 AM

ahh cool, you should check out the QGradient presets, they copied most of the ones up on webgradients.com

you apply it with a paintEvent instead of a stylesheet though

What's the best user interface library I can learn to make a program that would allow me to create a timetable for my classes and then notify me (with a special looking notification) when it's time for that class.

Basically something that can notify and also allow for tables and text input

@spark furnace not exactly labels but you can have buttons with text on them like basically labels

and yes you can open something when a button is clicked and its mostly a dialog or new window

#

but you can set it to trigger some other actions as well

1- there r no invisible widgets
2- i guess setContentMargin is used allowed in hbox or vbox layout only not in grid layout [according to me]

eager beacon Sep 18, 2020, 10:30 AM

#

a new layout comes with default margins of (12,12,12,12)

#

so if you haven't set them manually they will be set to 12

I’m looking for a good and easy library for UI. I’ve tried Tkinter, not really good at all, PyQt5, it’s easy, good, but has an LGPL license which better not to use, PySide2, it was easy, good, and has a GPL license, but isn’t supported on Python 3.8. What library should I use, it will also be great if there are any that support html, and css, without js and rather Python, but my main goal’s to find any easy good one, other than what I’ve tried.

You can make pretty ui with kivy and kivymd(library for material design patterns). But if you find a solution with CSS and HTML, il interesting too (likee ElectronJS).

fluid tinsel Sep 18, 2020, 10:54 AM

#

well I tried using Pyjs desktop (pyjamas lib) but I couldn’t find docs on it. I’ll try seeing that dearpygui lib as well, I’m not sure about Kivy since my last experience it was quite hard.

@hot wasp why don't use different window instead of frame ? I didnt fully understand what are you trying to do ^^ you are wanting to hide all frames except one ?

I wanted to use kivy for my current project. I thought it was the same widget system as tk 😩

fluid tinsel Sep 18, 2020, 11:13 AM

#

the DearPygui seemed to be easy and good, however importing it was extremely glitchy, and even the examples didn’t necessarily work, I got this huge error when I just tried to import kivy, it stretched out for a few hundred, if not thousands of lines further than the one shown in the image. I wouldn’t expect it to do anything since it’s just the import, but it still did that.

tkinter’s UI is very bad

cursive parcel Sep 18, 2020, 11:45 AM

#

dont uderestimate w8

#

though u cant get most features out of tkinter but u cant say it bad

#

i was making this ui inspired from MAC APP STORE dark mode

#

this is a TKINTER ui

#

problem is that people are not using best colors and simple geometry to make tkinter UI cooler

I’m looking for an easy, good library for UI. I tried PyQt5 (LGPL), so can’t fully use, PySide2 (not supported on 3.8), tkinter (plain bad), and Kivy was too hard.
Which libraries can I use?

eager beacon Sep 19, 2020, 1:13 AM

#

Are you planning on marketing the app?

fluid tinsel Sep 19, 2020, 1:19 AM

#

not really planning to market I was going to just put ads for download.
also for tkinter making it look good is very hard so idk about that.

eager beacon Sep 19, 2020, 1:20 AM

#

Why do you need python3.8 support?

fluid tinsel Sep 19, 2020, 1:21 AM

#

cuz that’s the version of Python I have, and know how to use.

#

The only styling options I’ve found in tkinter are color and background.

eager beacon Sep 19, 2020, 1:22 AM

#

they only big differences are the walrus operator, which has limited use cases, the addition of positional only parameters and some fstring tweaks

#

pretty much anything above 3.4 would be exactly the same in 99% of cases

fluid tinsel Sep 19, 2020, 1:23 AM

#

well that’d require me to uninstall and reinstall and I don’t really wanna do that, also I was going to write an app that has more than one layout

eager beacon Sep 19, 2020, 1:24 AM

#

you can have multiple installations of python at once

#

and then you could use pyside

#

and when they upgrade you could go back to 3.8 if you consider it necessary

#

because pyside and pyqt are the two best options you have

#

everything else falls waay short

fluid tinsel Sep 19, 2020, 1:26 AM

#

would GPL allow me to put ads before download?

eager beacon Sep 19, 2020, 1:27 AM

#

as long as you have the app somewhere on github and aren't directly selling the app I don't think it matters

#

I don't think you need to advertise on your site that the app is free on github without clicking through the ads

fluid tinsel Sep 19, 2020, 1:28 AM

#

also another problem is QT, although I can manage it, things like alignment get extremely annoying

eager beacon Sep 19, 2020, 1:28 AM

#

you just need some practice with the layouts

#

@faint siren in this case, i'd say yes

#

its not like its a downgrade to 2.7 or something

#

like i said, there are about 3-4 new features, none of which are likely to be used

fluid tinsel Sep 19, 2020, 1:30 AM

#

i could try using absolute positioning for aligning things I can’t figure out but that’d be just as annoying

eager beacon Sep 19, 2020, 1:31 AM

#

learn how to use a grid layout and positioning will be a cake walk

#

its rows and columns, its pretty basic

fluid tinsel Sep 19, 2020, 1:32 AM

#

well I did have a grid layout app but it couldn’t display a window, even though I had sys exit and window show, and setlayout

eager beacon Sep 19, 2020, 1:33 AM

#

just ask in here if you have quick questions like that.

#

I'm almost 100% sure it was something simple that got overlooked

fluid tinsel Sep 19, 2020, 1:35 AM

#

I did ask for that one and didn’t get a response so I asked in the python channel for QT server, and didn’t get one there either, but it’s still hard, also considering most of my UI wouldn’t be a grid and I’d need to use multiple at once, which always breaks.

eager beacon Sep 19, 2020, 1:35 AM

#

There is a QT server?

fluid tinsel Sep 19, 2020, 1:35 AM

#

yes

eager beacon Sep 19, 2020, 1:35 AM

#

link?

fluid tinsel Sep 19, 2020, 1:36 AM

#

don’t have it, it’s the same as the C++ one

#

there is .move()

eager beacon Sep 19, 2020, 1:36 AM

#

and setGeometry, and setPosition, etc

#

what happens when you want to resize your window?

orchid yoke Sep 19, 2020, 1:37 AM

#

.geometry() tkinter

fluid tinsel Sep 19, 2020, 1:38 AM

#

i haven’t much an idea of how geometry works and that set geometry function is extremely weird even though I looked at it’s syntax several times

orchid yoke Sep 19, 2020, 1:38 AM

#

it's just camel case

fluid tinsel Sep 19, 2020, 1:41 AM

#

there is a geometry function yes but that’s not really the problem

#

the problem with pyside is that I can’t figure out how 2 layouts can be put in 1, and aligning anything is a huge pain, and coordinates are just as hard.

eager beacon Sep 19, 2020, 1:44 AM

#

layout.addChildLayout

#

or layout.addWidget(widget) widget.setLayout(AnotherLayout) widget.layout().addWidget(button)

#

if you stick with Qt for a bit everything makes sense

fluid tinsel Sep 19, 2020, 1:46 AM

#

I added a QVBoxLayout into a QHBoxLayout and it aligned the QV to the QH

#

QV QH

rather than

QV
QH

eager beacon Sep 19, 2020, 1:49 AM

#

I'd be willing to bet you didn't do what you think you did

#

but I'd need to see the code to see what you mean

fluid tinsel Sep 19, 2020, 1:49 AM

#

just had a normal QV layout and used addLayout function, but let me go find it, it was in PyQt5 not pyside2 though but they’re written basically the same

eager beacon Sep 19, 2020, 1:50 AM

#

If you have a Vbox layout, and you put it into an hbox layout

#

then the next thing you add to the hbox is going to be placed horizontally from the first item

#

if you want vertical, place items into the vertical layout and they will be stacked top to bottom

fluid tinsel Sep 19, 2020, 1:51 AM

#

fluid tinsel Sep 19, 2020, 1:52 AM

#

hastebin deleted it let me try to find again

#

i can’t find it at all, but it had a QVBoxLayout being added onto a QHBoxLayout

eager beacon Sep 19, 2020, 1:58 AM

#

if thats all it was then you shouldn't have noticed anything going left to right or up and down since the Vbox would just be sitting in the center of the Hbox

fluid tinsel Sep 19, 2020, 1:58 AM

#

it sat to the left.

eager beacon Sep 19, 2020, 1:59 AM

#

then you must have added it to the layout that contained the Hbox and that layout must have been an HBox as well

fluid tinsel Sep 19, 2020, 2:01 AM

#

was a QV added to a QH, I think it tried to lay the layout with the widgets

#

HBox will ALWAYS add items horizontaly

#

eager beacon Sep 19, 2020, 3:28 AM

if you wanted a vertical layout, yes

#

the outer layout will determine the orientation

Is it bad practice to make the same project all over again in a different framework? Say for example you made an GUI application using tkinter, would it be bad practice if you were to recreate your gui application in another framework like PyQt5? This applies to other languages as well...

eager beacon Sep 19, 2020, 3:31 AM

#

not at all

#

I'd say its helpful because in the future you'll have an idea for a project and be able to know that tkinter will work just fine or that you definitely need feature x and y from Qt to complete the project

I’ve got a problem with adding a ‘Save’ button to my tkinter app, I do have a save as button, but when I try to store the path to the saved as file, it returns expected str, not IOTextWrapper, so I tried replacing that to get the actual path, and with os.path.realpath it gave me IsADirectoryError, and after I removed os.path.realpath, it returns nothing. How can I fix this issue?
Lines: 78, 87
it’s using tkinter’s filedialog.

opal geyser Sep 21, 2020, 7:27 AM

well let me tell

#

so I have made this login form

#

that when an user logs in and clicks the submit button I want to close that login form window and show another MainWindow that has something in it

bronze basin Sep 21, 2020, 7:28 AM

#

thats pretty easy to do

#

but my question is you have to pass data between the two windows right?

opal geyser Sep 21, 2020, 7:29 AM

#

oh great but i'm new in this

#

😅

bronze basin Sep 21, 2020, 7:29 AM

#

ok so let me help you

#

basically you can do some basic checks

#

like whether the password field is empty or not(assuming this is what your doing but doesnt matter)

#

then if that condition passes do self.close() for your login window

opal geyser Sep 21, 2020, 7:30 AM

#

yeh that is done👍👍

#

okay

bronze basin Sep 21, 2020, 7:31 AM

#

now since you want to open your main window

#

you gotta store your class in a variable assuming the main window file is in another file

#

so do smth like

#

self.main = MainWindow()

#

self.main.show()

#

so that way if the condition passes

#

you close your login screen

#

you open your main window

#

and if you want to pass data between both windows

#

just use the self.main and call a function

#

within the mainwindow

opal geyser Sep 21, 2020, 7:32 AM

oh so I have to import my another window

glacial gust Sep 21, 2020, 10:41 AM

@inland notch One big thing is that you're recreating the PhotoImage every time. That means that Tk has to go to the hard drive, read the image, decode it, and then swap out the widget.

Instead, first move the Game = Tk() call to the start. This needs to be the first Tkinter function you call since it sets it all up. Then switch your variables to store the PhotoImage objects.

inland notch Sep 21, 2020, 10:44 AM

So switch my "FowardFramesMoving" and such to photoimage arrays? what would that look like?

@hollow pewter you can just create a full screen window and make it invisible and hide it but this would not be as efficient i guess so.....

Hi user-interface channel!
I'm having issues with Pyinstaller in python 3.8, when building my windowed pyside2 interface, perhaps there are extra steps when creating windowed pyside2 projects? (other than -w or --windowed).
It builds, but get an error when executing:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'myOtherScript'
to build i use:
pyinstaller --additional-hooks-dir=. path/to/myscript.py
I have also tried to add hiddenimports=[ myOtherScript], to .spec in path/to/myscript.spec

myscript.py and myOtherScript.py are in the same directory.

is there something i am missing here, in order to include MyOtherScript as a module in the build?
I have been trying to read up Pyinstaller docs, which suggest "--additional-hooks-dir=." and "hiddenimports=[]"
plz halp

but still i m unable to perform function like when server is on Only THEN start client 1 or client 2 ~ how can i do that

i tried something like
server_val = 0 |a variable|

if server checkbox ticked then value becomes 1 and is detected by client 1 checkbox function! something like but t doesnt work

    def server_check(self, checked):

        if checked:

        else:
            print('SERVER is OFF')

        else:
            print('CLIENT 2 is OFF')

eager beacon Sep 22, 2020, 10:56 AM

#

so why not just have one method for all the check boxes and say

if server_check.isChecked():
    if c1.isChecked():
        client1.start()
    if c2.isChecked():
        client2.start()
else:
    print(f'The server must be started to run {self.sender().objectName()}'

#

in the else statement you could start a timer checking to see if the server has started and if so start the client who tried to start it previously

#

having a variable would work too

i think i got it but i m not sure if it will work

eager beacon Sep 22, 2020, 10:59 AM

in server_check make a variable called self.server_started and change the state when a check occurs and in the client checkbox methods just check self.server_started

Has anyone had an issue with Tkinter where 2 Entry boxes somehow link text if created with the same text by default ?

self.fname = Entry(root, text="Test")
self.fname.pack()
self.sname = Entry(root, text="Test")
self.sname.pack()

So if i type in the self.fname entry box it types in both boxes simultaneously.

#

e.g: http://prntscr.com/um4n8b
http://prntscr.com/um4ndg
I only typed in the First Name box
but when the default text is different there is no issue: http://prntscr.com/um4njo

#

@safe vapor Is that your actual code for that piece?

safe vapor Sep 23, 2020, 12:12 AM

#

essentially ... yes. due to NDA i cant post the full code so:

def build_profile(self, cid):
...
#data = pandas.dataframe.query("cid==%s"%cid).iloc[0]
self.fnameL = Label(fname, text=data["fname"], bg="white", anchor="w")
self.fnameL.pack(side=LEFT, fill=X) ##fname
self.fnameE = Entry(fname, text=data["fname"], bg="white")
oname = self.tku.cFrame(basicInfo, side=TOP, fill=X)
Label(oname, text="Other Name(s):", anchor="w", bg="white").pack(side=LEFT, fill=X)
self.onameL = Label(oname, text=data["oname"], bg="white", anchor="w")
self.onameL.pack(side=LEFT, fill=X) ##oname
self.onameE = Entry(oname, text=data["oname"], bg="white")
sname = self.tku.cFrame(basicInfo, side=TOP, fill=X)
Label(sname, text="Surname:", anchor="w", width=10, bg="white").pack(side=LEFT, fill=X)
self.snameL = Label(sname, text=data["sname"], bg="white", anchor="w")
self.snameL.pack(side=LEFT, fill=X) ##sname
self.snameE = Entry(sname, text=data["sname"], bg="white")
...

def switch_edit(self, event, state, ctype):
  if state == 1:
      self.fnameL.pack_forget()
      self.onameL.pack_forget()
      self.snameL.pack_forget()
      self.fnameE.pack(side=LEFT)
      self.onameE.pack(side=LEFT)
      self.snameE.pack(side=LEFT)
  elif state == 2:
    #oposite of state == 1.

#

so the profile is built with lables showing the data, when the edit button is pressed it switches the lables to Entries.

static cove Sep 23, 2020, 12:15 AM

#

and just to make sure I'm understanding, the issue is that when it switches over to Entry and there's a default value, typing in one entry box will make that same text appear in the other?

amber roost Sep 23, 2020, 12:15 AM

#

i think i know what's happening

safe vapor Sep 23, 2020, 12:16 AM

#

kinda yea.
if fname = "Test" amd sname = "Test"
fname entry = "TestTest" and sname entry = "TestTest"

#

typing in 1 box will input into both boxes.

amber roost Sep 23, 2020, 12:16 AM

#

tkinter supports shortening argument names when there are no conflicts, so text is interpreted as a shorthand for textvariable

#

You then create a new textvariable for both entries that actually has the name of data["sname"], which updates both of the widgets whenever it is changed by typing in one of them

#

this produces the same behavior, while changing Test to Test_ does not

📎 unknown.png

#

Inserting text into an entry at creation is not possible; however you can call e0.insert(0, data["sname"]) immediatedly after you create the entry

safe vapor Sep 23, 2020, 12:22 AM

#

you know i have been looking for a solution for this for about 6 months (its an uncommon issue but an annoying one).
i set a text variable to each entry and it seems to fix the issue. and didnt even cause bugs. Thanks.

fntv = StringVar(fname)
self.fnameE = Entry(fname, text=data["fname"], bg="white", textvariable=fntv)

i will look about changing it to remove text=data['fname'] as i dont think its actually needed in my code as its set elsewhere but i will need to find where it is being set 🙂

amber roost Sep 23, 2020, 12:23 AM

#

now you've given tkinter two values for the same argument

safe vapor Sep 23, 2020, 12:23 AM

#

yup. but its overwrighting the text so its not causing the issue. im looking to see where i set it to see if it wont cause issues if i remove it.

amber roost Sep 23, 2020, 12:25 AM

#

if anyone else has to work on that code, it's gonna be a pain for them to figure out that effectively one of the args is now useless

safe vapor Sep 23, 2020, 12:26 AM

#

yup removed text=data... and its still working fine.
i just wanted to make sure there were no unforseen bugs (my code is over 10k lines and im a solo dev so finding stuff can be hard from pure WOT syndrome 🙂 )

amber roost Sep 23, 2020, 12:27 AM

Hallo. Stopping by to get some help with how to simply independently control multiple menus at a time with curses. For example, switching between 2 menus and controlling each one independently. Not having much luck on my own.

#

I have some sample code I drew up real quick for what I know how to do, I put it in pastebin cause it's a bit of a chonker ~70 lines -> https://pastebin.com/uTtwq7sf

Pastebin

Curses help ex - Pastebin.com

Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.

#

With the setup I have I can control multiple menus at the same time but I'm just not really sure how to go about "isolating" each menu

Anyone have any idea how I would go about connecting a QPushButton to visually change the value of a QSlider?

I have it working that both the -,+, and slider can control the zoom in and out but I want them all to be linked.

📎 unknown.png

#

So that way when I click the + the slider will visually increment

#

and vise versa

eager beacon Sep 24, 2020, 12:31 AM

#

button.clicked.connect(self.increment_slider)

def increment_slider(self):
    current_value = self.slider.value()
    increment_value = 10
    self.slider.set_value(current_value + increment_value)

#

if you wanted to use the same method you could set an objectName for each button and in the method create a conditional that either incremented or decremented the slider based on self.sender().objectName()

@silk basin You could both link the same command through the button and change the value of qslider
I don't know how I would code it since I don't know PyQt5

hey guys, im new to tkinter and im trying to use its bear bones example, when i run the example:

def helloCallBack():
   tkMessageBox.showinfo( "Hello Python", "Hello World")

B = Tkinter.Button(top, text ="Hello", command = helloCallBack)

B.pack()

``` i get the error

so then i tried in my command prompt:

pip install tkinter
``` and i get

'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

i did factory reset my pc yesterday and re installed vs code and python 3.8.5

Tkinter should come in python, though in python3 you use tkinter and not Tkinter

So, import tkinter as tk or simply import tkinter should work

Still having some problems with curses here but have made some progress with it. Still having the same problem of isolating control between two windows. This doesnt seem to work and I'm hitting a dead end

#

Idea was you would initially be controlling on one window until you hit "t" or whatever character you want to switch control over to the other window, where you could then scroll around on that one without affecting the original

How do i show tooltip by clicking button in pyqt?

inland notch Sep 25, 2020, 1:24 AM

#

@inland notch One big thing is that you're recreating the PhotoImage every time. That means that Tk has to go to the hard drive, read the image, decode it, and then swap out the widget.

Instead, first move the Game = Tk() call to the start. This needs to be the first Tkinter function you call since it sets it all up. Then switch your variables to store the PhotoImage objects.
@glacial gust I still need help

#

do I use a for loop and go through each file in glob.glob()?

#

and append the file?

#

into an array?

#

FowardFramesMoving = [tk.PhotoImage(file=FowardFramesMoving[i]) for i in range(300)] Like this? It doesn't run

thin ore Sep 25, 2020, 8:46 AM

#

@digital rose It doesn’t work since you are using different geometry managers for tho same widget.
Eg. line 166-168 or 178-179 you are using grid and place for the same widget. The general rule is to use only one geometry manager for a given widget and to use the same geometry manager for all widgets in the same frame.

like apps made with flask-django/electron JS
@kind apex i dont know about flask / django but electron JS is mostpowerful and and in terms of UI it can offer extremeness , simply i mean using html css u can creating super cool UI styles but problem only occurs when u package the app [its size becomes very large]

` i hope it helps

#

In tkinter, is there a way to completely fix the resolution on windows?
@fluid tinsel what do u mean by fix

if u mean that ur app should cover whole window completely [maximized] then u can do something like
SIMPLY
1-detect the user's system resolution
2-store it as variable
3-use those variables in geometry of ur app (geometry(width, height)) # u can also set width/2 or( height/2+30)

something like that

#

how can i save the entry inputs to a text or jason file
@digital rose there is a GET method which allows to get and store data from entry and then u may pass it to JSON

fluid tinsel Sep 26, 2020, 1:58 PM

not that, it’s just everything has bad resolution, it looks like 32 bit.

cursive parcel Sep 26, 2020, 1:58 PM

#

u mean bad looking UI? like retro style u mean?

#

if that then u use nice color palette , and creative ui structures , that will hellp u for sure

also here's a quick tip --> set all widgets 'bd = 0' that sets borders to no border and then u can make kinda MATERIAL designs | i bet u can create a cool looking web browser with it ^_^

no where else

also from that check button why when i print i get ".!checkbutton" instand of 1 or 0

and checked and uncheck all i get is .!checkbutton

maiden osprey Sep 27, 2020, 8:07 PM

hmm, use the align property maybe, of the text box?

hmmm... I don't know why the .!checkbutton happens? Can I see the line of code?

also you might as well use some other method of logging.

ok

near arch Sep 27, 2020, 8:21 PM

ok i think i found a way

to get the vaule for checkbutton is to make a var call anything u want = tkinter.IntVar()

then inside the checkbutton code u need to add variable=thevarunamed

#

then do thevarunamed.get()

#

that's what i found out

maiden osprey Sep 27, 2020, 8:29 PM

#

@near arch you defined the return value in the statement:
CDLog = tkinter.Checkbutton(root, text=('Save Log File'), variable=c_v1, onvalue=1, offvalue=0)

#

so yeah, I think you should refer to the variable c_v1 to get the desired on and off values.

ye

there is a wraplength property for the Entry widget, use that @near arch

Why don't you just use a label and a stringvar to show/update a text when you click on a button. @near arch

You can also use a text canvas

ok so i wanted to change the text from a label so i put the text in a variable but when i run the code: https://hasteb.in/ilalemem.rb it prints dddd which indecates the program is working but i set the variable to change, but it doesnt. How can i fix it?

inner nest Sep 28, 2020, 6:56 AM

#

@digital rose line 18 : just call variable = StringVar(), you don't need to enter a parameter, here you inserted a ref to your tkinter window

#

line 20 : you can set the optionmenu like that : listeOptions = ('train', 'avion', 'bateau')
v = StringVar()
v.set(listeOptions[0])
om = OptionMenu(root, v, *listeOptions)

#

finally you can get the actual selected value of the optionmenu with a get() method

#

also change your labels text parameter to textvariable param

digital rose Sep 28, 2020, 7:07 AM

#

also change your labels text parameter to textvariable param
@inner nest whats the difference?

inner nest Sep 28, 2020, 7:08 AM

#

text param take a string and textvariable take a value control by a StringVar() or IntVar()

#

you can then use/access the value in your entire code

Hey @tame violet!

Uh-oh! It looks like your message got zapped by our spam filter. We currently don't allow .txt attachments, so here are some tips to help you travel safely:

• If you attempted to send a message longer than 2000 characters, try shortening your message to fit within the character limit or use a pasting service (see below)

• If you tried to show someone your code, you can use codeblocks
(run !code-blocks in #bot-commands for more information) or use a pasting service like:

https://paste.pythondiscord.com

#

Hey @tame violet!

It looks like you tried to attach a Python file - please use a code-pasting service such as https://paste.pythondiscord.com

It uses Mysql as the database. MySql has a database called 'stm'

#

table called 'students'

#

📎 2020-09-28_13h20_09.png

#

Like so.^*

#

When I click on an entry in the application

#

📎 2020-09-28_13h21_16.png

#

The data in is called from the database to the left hand side where entries are managed.

#

The "update" button is SQL syntax

#

And returns the error -> """pymysql.err.ProgrammingError: (1064, "You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'where roll_no='116 Whoop USA DO\n\r\n\n'' at line 1")"""

#

'where roll_no=' -> is equal to a change in the address box at the bottom left hand side

#

📎 2020-09-28_13h26_01.png

#

I have tried 5+ hours of syntax changes I thought should resolve the issue and they all lead me back in circles. Original issue -- [Solution implemented] --> New prob -- [Solution implemented] --> new fix -- [Solution implemented] --> back to original issue... Then I watch a movie and eat junk food while sulking about the issue. ;/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the floppy disk icon in the top right, or by typing ctrl + S. After doing that, the URL should change. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

beginner question. would you recommend tkinter for the following idea? if not then what, and also how would you recommend i word this in a not idiot way for better research?

the idea is a desktop application kinda like a virtual keyboard but with custom keys. maybe with a layout resembling a numpad.
the feature i'm asking about, tho, is: having 4 "buttons" at top that when you hold click or press on any of them, the board of keys below change to alternate keys. i want to be able to press a top button, hold, drag cursor to a key, then release to activate that alternate key. and upon releasing, have the board return to default.

Hey boss, I would recommend Tkinter.

3.8

tame violet Sep 29, 2020, 2:44 AM

#

Welp,... https://docs.python.org/3.8/library/othergui.html

Python.org says you should use: wxPython

#

In addition to an extensive set of widgets, wxPython provides classes for online documentation and context sensitive help, printing, HTML viewing, low-level device context drawing, drag and drop, system clipboard access, an XML-based resource format and more, including an ever growing library of user-contributed modules.

#

let me try installing it like how kivy isn’t with pip install

#

searched all over there was nothing about it

#

I also just saw that tkinter can only have one thread apparently so that’s now completely off

You can use threads with tkinter, it just takes effort if you want info to communicate between those two threads.

tkinter or pyqt5?

#

which is better?

I’ve just searched for a long time, I found Flexx (https://github.com/flexxui/flexx), it seems to be easy and I can export it to not only a desktop app, but a web app too, thanks.

PyQt5 is generally better, but it has a different license, and is a slight bit harder than tkinter.
