[ionic moat]

it'd be better to let the GUI run on its own, and do all long-lasting tasks like downloading large files on a separate thread

[winged fossil]

i wrapped it in a thread still it freezes. for wxpython there is pubsub for that..had no idea now looking into it.

[devout kiln]

Hey guys,

I'm using Qt Desginer to make a desktop app.

My problem is that when I save the project that I've done in the designer and then transform it into py code, it stacks everything under one main class.
I could restructure it manually but whever I'm going to make change, i'll need to redo that.

Is there a way to make it generate code for each layout/widget ?

[brave belfry]

does anyone happen to know how to get a list of existing tab names when using the QTabWidget? I can call the setTabText() method to change the title of a tab at a given index but I would like to check that names are not duplicate?

[sudden coral]

The tab widget has a count and you can do a for loop over it, passing each index to tabText(index)

[brave belfry]

oh

awesome, just tried that and it worked

thanks 🙂

[brave belfry]

also really struggling with putting a menubar on a window. Does anyone know what i'm doing wrong?

from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets
from widgets.TabMenu import TabMenu
from widgets.img_tab_menu import ImgTabMenu
from widgets.TabMenuTest import CustomTabWidget
from widgets.menu_bar import MenuBar
import os
import sys

class TestWindow(QtWidgets.QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.setObjectName("MainWindow")
        self.resize(1248, 600)
        
        self.menu_bar = MenuBar()
        self.setMenuBar(self.menu_bar)

        self.container = QtWidgets.QFrame()
        self.container.setObjectName("container")
        self.layout = QtWidgets.QVBoxLayout()

        self.tab_menu = ImgTabMenu()
        #self.tab_menu = CustomTabWidget()

        self.test_button = QtWidgets.QPushButton("Press Me!")
        self.test_button.clicked.connect(lambda: print(self.tab_menu.get_tab_names()))

        self.layout.addWidget(self.tab_menu)
        self.layout.addWidget(self.test_button)

        self.container.setLayout(self.layout)
        self.setCentralWidget(self.container)

        self.show()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
    window = TestWindow()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

I created this random test window to test all the widgets i've made but I cant seem to get this menubar to appear

the MenuBar is just inherits from QMenuBar such that it already contains all of the necessary QMenu objects

[sudden coral]

That all looks fine. The issue likely lies within the implementation of the menu bar

I copied that code and it worked when I defined it as ```py
class MenuBar(QtWidgets.QMenuBar):
def init(self, *args, **kwargs):
super().init(*args, **kwargs)

    action = self.addAction("test action");

(had to comment out ImgTabMenu stuff cause I don't have that)

[sudden coral]

No, I don't think so. The most control you have over it is using separate ui files.

[brave belfry]

ah, let me look over my MenuBar class then, thanks!

yeah, it was a dodgy super().init() call

this is the first time im using PyQt Mark, it seems you know what you're doing with this stuff. I'm not really sure how to structure my ui files. I started by using designer but that just generated what seemed to me like spaghetti code. I chose to instead define the overall layout and core widgets in the main UI file and I have then created new widget files inheriting from default widgets with the functionality / methods that I want. is this a good way of doing things? I've noticed that this had given me a cleaner main ui file but has resulted in lots of "widget" class files.

[sudden coral]

That sounds like what I do

[brave belfry]

for example, this is my MenuBar class

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QWidget
from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets
from PyQt5.QtCore import Qt

class MenuBar(QtWidgets.QMenuBar):
    
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        #Menus
        self.file_menu = self.addMenu("File")
        self.action_open = QtWidgets.QAction()
        self.file_menu.addAction(self.action_open)
        self.action_open.setText("Open")
        
        self.view_menu = self.addMenu("View")

        self.example_menu = self.addMenu("Example")
        self.nested_menu = self.example_menu.addMenu("Nested menu")
        self.example_action = QtWidgets.QAction()
        self.nested_menu.addAction("Nested action")
        self.example_action.setText("Nested action")

it feels sort of janky always inheriting and defining my own classes?

but if this is the way it's supposed to be done i'm happy with it

[sudden coral]

You can either inherit the generated class or save an instance of it as an attribute and call setupUI

Like ```py
class MenuBar(QtWidgets.QMenuBar):

def __init__(self):
    super().__init__()
    self.ui = GeneratedMenuBar()
    self.ui.setupUi(self)

[brave belfry]

I don't quite understand how that's working

how would you use that in the context of a window?

as in if you now wanted to use this menubar

or rather, what is the GeneratedMenuBar here?

[sudden coral]

It is the class generated by the uic tool

[brave belfry]

do you know what I should look up if I want to find the docs that explain this part?

[sudden coral]

Which part exactly?

[brave belfry]

this bit

self.ui = ...
self.ui.setupUi(self)

[sudden coral]

It doesn't really explain it, it just shows an example, but the idea is from https://doc.qt.io/qtforpython/tutorials/basictutorial/uifiles.html#option-a-generating-a-python-class

The other way, which is not mentioned in the docs, is subclassing the generated class.

setupUi take a parameter that is supposed to be the parent widget for all of the widgets defined in the UI file.

[brave belfry]

oh I think I get it

[sudden coral]

When self is passed, it makes the current instance of your defined class become the parent.

[brave belfry]

would you suggest writing the ui as a UI file then? and then calling setupUI?

writing the UI as this xml seems much more intuitive than writing it as python code

(I mean creating all the custom widgets etc in python and then writing a UI file to bring it all together)

[sudden coral]

The UI file isn't meant to be written by hand, though I suppose you can if you really want. That sounds really tedious though.

[brave belfry]

ok

so I should create all my widgets and then use designer to create the final UI?

[sudden coral]

I started out using UI files but later on I found myself preferring to write more of it in Python. Using the designer is nice for fast prototyping though.

[brave belfry]

ah ok I see

[sudden coral]

It's just my preference. If you like the designer then that's fine.

[brave belfry]

yeah I tried the designer a week or two ago when I first started out, but found the generated code very confusing so then wrote it by hand in python

[sudden coral]

The important thing with UI files is to never modify the generated Python code. Always subclass it or do it like the example I showed.

[brave belfry]

yeah

regarding my custom "widgets" for example the menubar, I have currently been writing all of their functionality as methods of the class. E.g. for the "Open" button I will do soon, I was going to have the function that opens files be a part of the MenuBar class. Is it good to separate out the functions like this into the respective widget classes?

[sudden coral]

It depends... you could consider a design that separates presentation logic from your business logic.

Like, if you have a button that needs to perform complex calculation on data and then display a result, that calculation could be separated from all your UI code.

[digital rose]

Hello, does anyone know of a way that i could overlay on top of my screen / monitor

Or some kind of transparent OpenCV window i can overlay

[eager viper]

I wanted to ask you guys a certain implementation I'm working on is 'weird' or offensive to a pythonistas sensibilities

This graphics engine I'm writing. To start, there are four controller objects at play which represent and control global state

The Application, Window, Renderer, and Document objects. As it stands I'm actually creating these objects at import time and enabling configuration post-creation. The reason feeds into the second thing I wanted to ask you guys about

My engine is web-graphics based. It works by serving HTML, and controlling that HTML using Python. Since HTML can get ugly pretty fast, I've rigged up an importer to search for HTML documents whenever a package is found and if so, to inject its contents into an HTML composite — its that composite which is rendered when start() is called

This way the UI can be written in chunks instead of one massive HTML file

I wanted to have the controller objects already existing so that submodules, etc, could just directly import them at the top of each script

from pyscript import application, window, renderer, document

[dusky sluice]

connection = QSqlDatabase.addDatabase(DATABASE)
connection.setDatabaseName(DATABASE_NAME)
connection.open()
query = QSqlQuery(sql_query, connection)
if (setForward):
    query.setForwardOnly(True)

if initialise_connection(connection):
    successful = query.exec()
    print(query.lastError().driverText())
    if not successful: 
        raise ConnectionError 
    connection.commit()
    connection.close()
    return query

Here, the database being used is sqlite3 and sql_query is

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS books (
    book_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT UNIQUE NOT NULL,
    book_title TEXT UNIQUE NOT NULL,
    author TEXT
);

strangely, query.isValid() returns False for some reason. Any idea why is this happening?

[mystic citrus]

Does anyone know of any good GUI frameworks for Python? I've tried Tkinter and GTK+, but both were kind of a pain in some areas. I've also tried PyQT but I found the documentation hard to use so didn't really get very far with it.

[tawdry mulch]

Those are your options, what was wrong with tkinter?

[mystic citrus]

I just found it was very basic in a lot of areas, things like styling just made it hard to work with.

[tawdry mulch]

Are you looking for a beginner framework?

[mystic citrus]

No, I'm looking for something powerful.

[tawdry mulch]

Great, then you have to adapt with PyQt

The best I could find is https://doc.qt.io/qtforpython/

Maybe there are more, but you can always type in your specific widgets in and you might get something. Also you can ask questions and check existing questions. Also use the Qt discord server too. These are how I made my Qt app

[lime monolith]

There are various others to try, some that come to mind are WxPython, Kivy and Dearpygui.
https://wiki.python.org/moin/GuiProgramming

[lone phoenix]

having tried kivy: its definitely not ideal for desktop UIs, its meant for mobile.

[brave belfry]

Awesome, thanks for all the help yesterday Mark!

[dusky sluice]

Do you mind sharing the link to the Qt discord server? I am making a Qt app, and it is certainly a pain to do so without proper documentation

[tawdry mulch]

Okay add me as a frnd

[dusky sluice]

done

[tawdry mulch]

Arent you already in it?

[dusky sluice]

yeah I just join nvm

[sudden coral]

Yup PyQt docs are poor. PySide has better docs but some stuff is incomplete and sometimes examples still show C++ code. Maybe it's improved since I last looked a couple years ago. I actually refer to the C++ documentation since it's the most comprehensive. It's not difficult to translate it into Python with some basic understanding of C++ syntax since all the names are the same (except for PySide6 which switched to snake case).

[oak saffron]

Dear PyGui 🙂

[digital rose]

How can I kill qthread immediately? Or I've been thinking about using conditional(if else) for every line of code in the loop to kill qthread in the loop, is there a good function?

[azure talon]

TKINTER quick question:
I kinda want to separate sever menu screens into another Settings file. Is it worth it and if so, how do I call the info back into the main file into an already established frame?
Again is it just easier to have all the GUI classes in the same main file?

[tawdry mulch]

it depends really, its a good practice to keep the GUI organized and in different files.

[regal pulsar]

Should i do this before or after i make the entry box?

[tawdry mulch]

from tkinter import *

root = Tk()

def func(*args):
    if len(var.get()) >= 9:
        var.set(var.get()[:9]) # here, 9 is the range.

var = StringVar()
e = Entry(root,textvariable=var)
e.pack()

var.trace('w',func)

root.mainloop()

[molten zealot]

This should be done as a function.
So you will have to call the function.

[tawdry mulch]

a simple function wouldnt help, you will have to trigger it each time something is typed

[winged fossil]

wxpython i would suggest

[winged fossil]

i tried kivy for android..it was a nightmare

[brave belfry]

in pyqt, if I have a widget that needs to change something inside the main window, how would I do this? At the moment I have imported the mainwindow instance into the widget file and am trying to alter it however python is now complaining about circular imports.

from src.ui.widgets.menu_bar import MenuBar
ImportError: cannot import name 'MenuBar' from partially initialized module 'src.ui.widgets.menu_bar' (most likely due to a circular import) (D:\Code\Projects\object_detection_utils\src\ui\widgets\menu_bar.py)

Is there a way to not have fonts and sizes scale with display size in PyQt5's file dialog? When I run my program, the file dialog font is significantly larger on my larger display compared to my smaller display

[true hawk]

Hi I need help with tkinter

My problem is that If I move anything, like button, it will automatically move the text and everything, is there a fix to this problem

[tawdry mulch]

What??

[true hawk]

Liek for example, if I change the cordinates of my button, it will my move my text too, why

[tawdry mulch]

Ummm I do not know

[tawdry mulch]

Can you give an example?

[true hawk]

Like I want to move my button, so when I move it, it will move my text too

[tawdry mulch]

Yea can you write the code for it so that when I run it, I can reproduce what you are saying

[true hawk]

There

Now change the pady and padx, of the button

U will notice that the text and the canvas changes too

@tawdry mulch

[tawdry mulch]

Ah, changing padx and pady does not change the "position" of the button. It pushes outside the button down or whatever.

[true hawk]

So what should I write instead pady or padx

[tawdry mulch]

For...

[true hawk]

Changing the position

@tawdry mulch

[tawdry mulch]

Im afraid the answer to that is padx and pady 😂. Tell me what you expect your output to be

[true hawk]

Ugh

Man, what should I do then

So is there a way to move the button instead of moving the canvas and the text @tawdry mulch

[tawdry mulch]

Where do you want to move the button to

[true hawk]

The bottom, instead of top

[tawdry mulch]

Ummm try ...pack(side='bottom')

[regal pulsar]

Ah, i just realized entry delete is a thing i can also do

So i can just delete anything past limit i want

[molten zealot]

That's great!

[true hawk]

OK then

[tawdry mulch]

just creste a variable and add 1 in its value everytime the code runs 🙂

its simple ig

btw its my second year studying python (im in school)

so dont know much bout complex codes

[dusky egret]

help me please i am in mi first year os studies

[cobalt drum]

we are newbies

;((

[digital pewter]

wait lemme search

in files

the insertion sort code

got it

a=[15,6,13,22,3,52,2]
print('Original list is ',a)
for i in range(1,len(a)):
key=a[i]
j=i-1
while j>=0 and key<a[j]:
a[j+1]=a[j]
j=j-1
else:
a[j+1]=key
print("List after sorting is ",a)

this is the code for insertion sort

Hi! I'm working on a little project and it's my first time creating a GUI on python, I've tried to replicate this window made in Photoshop with Tkinter but seems kinda complicated, is there any library that would you please recommend or suggest to create this? (contains shadows, shapes and mixes of colors)

[lime monolith]

You could give the following a go
https://github.com/ParthJadhav/Tkinter-Designer

how would i align the button like in this image?

im using .grid() in tkinter and i cant seem to get the properly alignment

[tawdry mulch]

You prolly need columnspan

[woeful thorn]

[pyqt5]
is there a way to ensure all widgets in a layout occupy the exact same amount of vertical space?

[blazing pine]

is that not default behavior?

https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/layout.html#adding-widgets-to-a-layout

[tawdry mulch]

Works for me

[woeful thorn]

i have a vertical layout which contains 2 scroll areas
when i populate the first scroll area with stuff, it starts to expand and become larger than the second, empty scroll area
this still happens when i set the vertical policy of both scroll areas to fixed

so yes it is default behavior, but it seems not to be strictly enforced in some cases?

[blazing pine]

the link I shared details how the layouts are adjusted, so if it's not the default behavior, I would go through that list of items and see what is making the layout behave differently; and see if you can modify that behavior.

[chilly musk]

try asking in #editors-ides

[woeful thorn]

i figured this out
forgot to mention the scroll areas are themselves inside group boxes
i set the vertical policy of each group box to minimum, and the vertical policy of the scroll area to ignored

[true hawk]

no

guys I need help with tkinter, is anyone there

question:
pi - thorney - tkinter.
I use my pi to monitor some devices and tkinter for my UI.
for some reason today when I turned on my pi and started the program, the UI wont come up, I'm also not getting an error message at all. Any idea what would cause this?

I tried just running a basic program to just open a hello world message and nothing as well.

(I also tried in a new pi moving SD card over)

[azure talon]

*Found it, Issue with an import. Not sure why it didn't throw an error but process stopped while importing datetime. updated pkg, works. Haven't done a python / system update in a while so not sure what happen. Guessing corruption in the pkg file somehow.

[tawdry mulch]

did you also import datetime while writing hello world?

[azure talon]

No but even though I did a fresh file for the test and did hit stop on the other file I think something was caught in the back ground somewhere. Maybe Thorny pre loads something from it's library or uses it directly. Not sure where the fault is but seems to work now.

long story short I put a 'print' between every line in the test code and not even the first line (print start) even came up. Restart and same thing. Then did it on the master file after having the pi unplugged for 10 min and then started the main again. It printed 3 lines but not the print after datetime. Tried tester, nothing. reboot, nothing. sudo apt update datetime and bam, everything working. not fun

[true hawk]

Hi guys

I have a problem

[tawdry mulch]

go ahead just type ur problem

[true hawk]

so basically, i am creating a button that changes the text of a label, but whenever I click the button, it crashes the app, instead of changing the label

[tawdry mulch]

tkinter?

[true hawk]

PyQt5

[tawdry mulch]

Kay show the code

[true hawk]

def initUI(self):
        passlabel = QLabel(self)
        passlabel.setText("Example")
        passlabel.move(20, 110)
        passlabel.setFont(QFont('Arial font', 20))
@pyqtSlot()
def on_click(self):
        self.passlabel.setText('some text')
        self.passlabel.adjustSize()

here @tawdry mulch

[tawdry mulch]

Where does it crash? Put a print('Something') and find out

[true hawk]

well i did, it crash at the on click function

[tawdry mulch]

Where is the button code?

[true hawk]

after the label

[tawdry mulch]

Yea i mean show it

[true hawk]

def initUI(self)
        passlabel = QLabel(self)
        passlabel.setText("EXAMPLE")
        passlabel.move(20, 110)
        passlabel.setFont(QFont('Arial font', 20))

        Genbtn = QtWidgets.QPushButton(self)
        Genbtn.setText("CLICK ME")
        Genbtn.move(240, 150)
        Genbtn.clicked.connect(self.on_click)

here

[tawdry mulch]

Hmmm seems to be fine here

[tawdry mulch]

Try removing the decorator

[true hawk]

nope

same problem

I think its not the on_click problem

maybe its the .move and .SetFont tho

[tawdry mulch]

Try removing those then

[true hawk]

ok

nop

same

[tawdry mulch]

Okay I will leave it here for someone else to take a look then

[true hawk]

k

[tawdry mulch]

though it can be helpfull if you post the entire code

[true hawk]

ok

[true hawk]

here

[tawdry mulch]

JI gets printed?

[true hawk]

yes

but crashes after

[tawdry mulch]

Ah well there is no passlabel its local to within the method, make it self.passlabel = QLabel(...)

[true hawk]

in on_click, ok then

[tawdry mulch]

def initUI(self):
        self.passlabel = QLabel(self)
        self.passlabel.setText("EXAMPLE")
        self.passlabel.move(20, 110)

[digital rose]

Hello, i am using tkinter and am looking for a way to keep my background transparent, but keep widgets non transparent, currently changing alpha for the window, but it effects all widgets

[charred summit]

What do most companies use to make UI for desktop applications?

[ionic moat]

from what I've seen, Qt is used the most commercially

But there are still a lot of other frameworks used

[charred summit]

Do any companies use Tkinter

[ionic moat]

Python tkinter? I really doubt it

tkinter just doesn't have enough

it's just too basic, unlike Qt, Qt has everything a GUI developer would need

Tkinter is a bit far from that, it's just not up to date with the current standards

It's a great module for beginners though, really teaches how GUIs work

[charred summit]

oh

thanks!

[tawdry mulch]

background of window? not possbile

[tawdry mulch]

people who write such code should be banned

Can anyone help me out here
My windows 10 isn't showing the wifi option at all
I tried netsh winsock reset
Also checked if the auto wlan config was automatic or not
Also tried updating and reinstalling the drivers
Also tried system restore
Also tried wincfg -g
Also i tried the ping command and cmd and its working fine so there is no hardware issues
And still idk why the hell its not showing up

[tawdry mulch]

Google it, look for something from Alan D Moore

[digital rose]

Thanks for your absolutely useless comment, i figured it out last night

[oak saffron]

It is absolutly possible, but you have to use os specific libaryes for it

[median pollen]

Hey guys can you help me out working with GUI , making calculator with other features

My first question how to make just text with no background, I end p using the same color but I am not sure how to make a no backgroud just text

my_Label_1  = Label(root,width=10,height=0,text="Hello",  padx=0, pady=0,bg='grey',fg="darkblue",font = ('Helvetica', 5, 'bold'),borderwidth=5,)```

my_Label_1.grid(row=3,column=0,padx=0, pady=1,columnspan=2,)```

ALSO : what the difference between py width=15,height=0,text="Seven", padx=0, pady=0,

thank you

I am using from tkinter import*

I am willing to also get help and help people , or work on some cool project together mention me or msg me thank you

[tawdry mulch]

I guess it is a hard copy only and paid too

[tawdry mulch]

What? Making the window transparent but the widgets are non transparent? It's not possible directly with tkinter alone😂😂

[tawdry mulch]

Try relief='flat'

[tawdry mulch]

Difference between what

[tawdry mulch]

Yea, there was someone who posted a similar module here about it.

[oak saffron]

Had to do the same with DPG, so 3rd party libraries are no problem ^^

[tawdry mulch]

Great, do you have something with Tkinter that works?

[oak saffron]

I can try with the example you send me with the themes later 🙂

[median pollen]

Ok thank you guys

can some 1 help me organize into the functions

@tawdry mulch

do you have a second

I am getting confused with that please let me know if i can screen share you for 2 min and you can help me

@oak saffron do you have a second to help me

Create the label outside the function nd update it inside using config

hey

how do I cange the text color in PYQt5

[tawdry mulch]

Code or QtDesigner

[true hawk]

Code

[tawdry mulch]

I think you would call the setStylesheet("color:'red'") on the object

[true hawk]

gives me an error

QLabel' object has no attribute 'setStylesheet'

ok nvm

[tawdry mulch]

My bad, It is setStyleSheet

[true hawk]

I fixed it lol

[placid nebula]

is there possibility to replace window by other window in tkinter without "seeing" gap between them?

or maybe someone has different idea how to make jumps from one menu to another without creating TopLevel

[sleek badger]

am i doing something wrong with positioning my label? i keep changing the x and y parameters but the text isn't moving

this is tkinter btw

[tawdry mulch]

remove .pack()

[sleek badger]

ohh

i thought pack added it to the screen

what does it actually do?

[finite osprey]

how i can make a python bot code clicks keys in the game?

[tawdry mulch]

add it to the screen, but you do not need more than 1 geometry manager, either pack, place or grid

[tawdry mulch]

what

[fleet saddle]

is there a way to zoom into the contents of a canvas or a frame

tkinter

the .scale function sort of does a thing but it doesnt edit the size of the contents just its location

this is what im hoping for

[rotund solar]

How can I make UI like this?

Should I use tkinter or pyqt5 and is there a way to make custom elements like a custom entry box, etc?

[night echo]

tkinter will be simpler, pyqt5 will look better i believe, and you can make entry boxes in both

ive never really used pyqt5 though

[upper crown]

pyqt5 has a designer tool, which can speed up making ui's

I wouldn't recommend tkinter for something like the image above

[tawdry mulch]

With tkinter you can create custom entry boxes, so can you also with PyQt too

[tawdry mulch]

I suppose there is

[fleet saddle]

and how does it work?

[tawdry mulch]

google it maybe

[fleet saddle]

i have...
the only thing that really shows up is the canvas.scale() which isnt really giving me the effect i expected

[brave belfry]

@sudden coral apologies for the ping. I'm having some major issues with passing data around my PyQt program, was wondering if you could help me out with the program structure to make this less of a nightmare.

[placid nebula]

question - how to dynamically create entry boxes in tkinter using place method

for loop is ok?

[tawdry mulch]

depends, is there any trend in the x and y?

[placid nebula]

yes there is, all the entries has same size

have*

[tawdry mulch]

Show the manual code

[sudden coral]

Maybe I can help. Not sure cause your question was vague.

[placid nebula]

pozx = 350
pozy = 40
for i in range(3):
pozy = pozy+20
for u in range(12):
e = Entry(main,width=15,relief=SOLID, borderwidth=2)
e.place(x=pozx,y=pozy)
pozx=pozx+ 94

[tawdry mulch]

!code

[proven basin]

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py

```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

[placid nebula]

so i should use '''py and then put code?

[tawdry mulch]

yes enclose the code between it

[placid nebula]

pozx = 350
pozy = 40
for i in range(3):
    pozy = pozy+20
    for u in range(12):
        e = Entry(main,width=15,relief=SOLID, borderwidth=2)
        e.place(x=pozx,y=pozy)
        pozx=pozx+ 94

problem is, its not under first row

[tawdry mulch]

are you looking for grid like pattern?

[brave belfry]

Mind if I DM with some code as example to explain what I'm saying to avoid clogging this chat with code boxes?

else I can post here too idm

[sudden coral]

If you have a lot of code you can paste it on a site and share the link

[brave belfry]

sure

that'll probably work

[placid nebula]

i use place method for my project, grid is not accurate imho

[tawdry mulch]

grid is the most accurate, imo

[fleet saddle]

place can have its uses if you want a very specific layout, however grid is more dynamic

[placid nebula]

however, i wonder how can i later use this table to input data in specific entry from excel

[fleet saddle]

you need to reset the posx to 350 at then end of the u for loop

[tawdry mulch]

you can store the entry in a list and then access it later

[placid nebula]

would You show me example what do You mean?

[tawdry mulch]

im still not sure what you are looking for, are you looking for table like 2 rows x 2 columns

[placid nebula]

more like 3 rows, 12 columns

[fleet saddle]

entries = []
for x in range(width):
  row = []
  for y in range(height):
    e = tk.Entry(root, **kwargs)
    e.grid(row=x,column=y) # or grid or place or whatever
    # e.place(x=x*entry_width, y=y*entry_height)
    row.append(e)
  entries.append(row)

[tawdry mulch]

ok gimme a min

[fleet saddle]

for 3 rows and 12 columns you set the respective width and height

[tawdry mulch]

from tkinter import *

root = Tk()
lst  = []
r,c  = 3,12

for i in range(r):
    for j in range(c):
        ent = Entry(root)
        ent.grid(row=i,column=j)
        lst.append(ent)

root.mainloop()

r and c are rows and columns

[placid nebula]

i will check it

[tawdry mulch]

why are you appending rows

[fleet saddle]

creates a 2d array

[tawdry mulch]

what for

[fleet saddle]

better for a grid

if you wanna config it then you can do entries[5][2].config()

[brave belfry]

ok, so this is gonna be a lot of code:

mainwindow: https://pastebin.com/ZwXEgrgF
tab_bar: https://pastebin.com/zffdtAyA
img_display: https://pastebin.com/9a0EfxmF
menu_bar: https://pastebin.com/5q4gxXax
filemanager: https://pastebin.com/QLYBg9RM

Here the actually relevant stuff really is the menu_bar and the mainwindow (The rest included for context). menu_bar contains a button to open a directory which is supposed to open the 1st image in the selected directory in the current tab and allow the images in the directory to be browsed. My issue is with the dataflow around the code. At the moment to achieve this (this is horribly janky and I want to learn how to do this properly) I pass in the tab_bar and filemanager instances from the mainwindow into the menu_bar in the constructor to then be able to access their content and methods when the open_folder button is clicked.

Alternatively I was thinking of writing the open_folder method as part of the mainwindow class so that it has access to all of the UI elements but I think it would be nice to somehow keep methods which (to me atleast) logically should be part of the menu_bar class inside the appropriate class definitions.

I feel like this requires major restructuring just I do not really know what I should do as this is my first time making UI. Any and all help is appreciated.

[tawdry mulch]

It was better to make a zip file with all the files

[brave belfry]

Probably cleaner but I didn't figure you guys would want to download random zips

I am happy just sending the entire project in a zip if you want to run it?

[sudden coral]

Have you learned about the event system in Qt? Signals and slots? You could avoid passing widgets to other widgets by using signals and slots.

MenuBar could emit a signal, and ImgTabMenu could have a slot that accepts that signal. The slot is basically a function that would be executed upon the signal being emitted.

The parent of both of those widgets (MainWindow) could be responsible for connecting the signal and the slot together, since the parent holds a reference to both widgets and is able to do this.

As for FileManager, it's maybe okay to pass it around like you are. But it is suspicious. I cannot tell why you need to share state between MenuBar and ToolBar.

[tawdry mulch]

You might want to ping him also

Hi guys, I want to make a search and autofill bar using Listbox in tkinter and I referred to the Codemy youtube video for the same but I'm getting this error again and again:
_tkinter.TclError: no event type or button # or keysym

Here's the code snippet:

        self.entName = Entry(LeftFrame1, font =('arial', 13, 'bold'), bd=6,width=50, justify='left', textvariable=Name)
        self.entName.grid(row=2, column=1, sticky=W, padx=2)
        
        self.my_list = Listbox(LeftFrame1, font =('arial', 13, 'bold'),height = 3, width=51, justify='left')
        self.my_list.grid(row=3, column=1, sticky=W, padx=2)

        listVal = ['Arnab', 'Anik', 'Aritra']
        # self.entName['values'] = listVal
        # self.entName.current()

        # Add the toppings to our list

[modest isle]

Tkinter

[tawdry mulch]

Do you have dropdown ?

not yet

i have a bunch of mailers and i want to make a drop down for them

Use ttk.Combobox and bind() to <<ComboboxSelected>>

[gentle finch]

I tried using .bind('<<ListBoxSelect>>", fillout) and .bind("<Configure>", check) but it doesn't work either...in that case the check function is not working

Can anyone help me figure out why name_player_field.pack() along with teh rest of the pack statements are saying there is an error?

[exotic fiber]

you're destroying the entry field before packing it

ur program calls for gofunc() which destroys the name_player_field before packing it, so you should place name_player after you have packed the other stuff

think im a bit late for helping though

[tribal path]

Should be title case for classes/widgets, otherwise whats the issue there?

hello guys i wanted to ask question about my gui ,iam using kivy ,and python 3.9 .the question is why when iam want to make a widget(or you can sy a button) a button not showing up in the windows, iam sorry guys iam a newbie so pleas help me

this is my code

import kivy
from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.button import Button
from kivy.uix.widget import Widget
from kivy.uix.textinput import TextInput
from kivy.uix.boxlayout import BoxLayout

self._app_window = GridLayout()
self._app_window.cols = 1

    self.btn1 = Button(text="click me")
    self._app_window.add_widget(self.btn1)

if name == "main":
tampilan_utama().run()

[obtuse thistle]

you need to return the top level widget from the build method

return self._app_window

hi I need some help

[tawdry mulch]

Just type your question

[true hawk]

My new window wont resize,

in pyqt5

my code:

class CheckApp(QWidget):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.title = 'Check'
            
        self.left = 600
        self.top = 300
            
        self.width = 600
        self.height = 396
        self.initUI2()

    def initUI2(self):
        inlabel = QLabel(self)
        inlabel.setText("Example")
        inlabel.move(260,0)
        inlabel.setStyleSheet("color:'green'")
        inlabel.setFont(QFont('Arial font', 20))```

[tawdry mulch]

This is it? Where is self.width and height used?

[true hawk]

Ik

I figured that out

I am so dumb

Lol

[clever coral]

Need a bit of advice on what to use for a program I'm making. Basically I'm creating a GUI (I was planning to use tkinter as I'm familiar, but suggestions are welcome), which will take some data from the user and store it in an excel file. I can figure that out. The other piece of it is I want an interactive 3d display. I want to display a 3d head, where the user can move it around and draw in it. The file will then be saved along with the excel spreadsheet and can be opened and viewed via the program. I really am clueless here so if anyone has a suggestion that would be great :)

[tawdry mulch]

A 3d vidwer with Tkinter?

[ruby olive]

hello

so at the moment i am using tkinter and i am looking for a way to pack things above each other in stead of bellow because once too many things are packed the new things start going off the screen but i want to make the old things go off the screem

[clever coral]

You can use .grid() or .place() instead of pack. You can also .destroy() a widget to remove it

Hi can someone tell me how to open an image from an url link? im using tkinter

I can't find the way to open it from a link 😔

[spring turtle]

import tkinter as tk.
from PIL import Image, ImageTk.
​
root = tk. Tk()
img = Image. open("path\\to\\imgage.jpg")
img = img. resize((250, 250))
tkimage = ImageTk. PhotoImage(img)
tk. Label(root, image=tkimage). grid()
``` have you tried this

[icy river]

i need it from a url cuz i need the miniature from yt videos

im doing a mp4/mp3 downloader

i think something like url or urllib

but idk how to do it

[ruby cypress]

hi can somebody help me with this error its killing me from last night

[spring turtle]

what are you trying to do here?you cant assign while defining the tuple

[ruby cypress]

i dint understand

wait

this is where now im

[spring turtle]

self.ws = (...,on_open=self.on_open,...)

thats the problem

you cant define in the middle of a tuple

if you do want to define in the middle of a tuple then you can use the walrus operator(:=), only for 3.8+

hey uhm.... can someone tell me how to create a custom spell checker ?

[tawdry mulch]

!code

[proven basin]

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

[tawdry mulch]

With...

[fallow cove]

with ?

idk. Maybe spellchecker module ?

i dont really have any conditions tho

i just want to create a spell checker

[tawdry mulch]

Which Gui framework

[fallow cove]

naah

not GUI

its fine if it works in terminal

[tawdry mulch]

Then how does this belong in the #user-interfaces channel?

[fallow cove]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

since i want to get input from the user

[tawdry mulch]

Here, we help with problems related to the UI, but what you need is the logic. You should ask in the help channels.

[fallow cove]

wooo alr then.

my bad

[tawdry mulch]

Anyway since your here, google for python spell checking modules and I'm pretty sure there will b plenty, make use of it

[fallow cove]

uhm... uh yes there are a lotta things. But.....

uh

i want to make a custom one

with custom words

the ones available check with only english words

i dont kinda need that

[tawdry mulch]

Uk these spell checkers they use AI and prolly ML too.

Anyway ask in the channel, they might have better idea

[fallow cove]

i just want a spell checker for a small command in my discord bot. . Imagine having to learn ML for this.

[fallow cove]

alr dood

How can I close this one automatically?

any ideas?

[tight ice]

heya

anyone profficient with PyQt5?

[digital rose]

PyQt5 designers/developers check out cheese shop for a minute:

You can ask your question, someone who knows can help

[timber yacht]

where can I get free images for simple beginner apps

I need packs basically

[night echo]

anyone have any ideas on improving this ui?

made with tk

[night echo]

what kind of images

whats your ui going to look like

[tight ice]

QWidget::setLayout: Attempting to set QLayout "" on MainWindow "", which already has a layout

is that an error?

because my stuff isnt showing

[timber yacht]

for buttons

[digital rose]

https://publicdomainvectors.org/
https://freesvg.org/

[timber yacht]

thanks man

[digital rose]

Ah yes as said in exception, you cannot set layout for QMainWindow

[tight ice]

yeah i figured out the reason

ive given up with pyqt5

[digital rose]

It's not impossible but, in my opinion it doesn't worth (Cuz I've never looked for the solution)
but I have a solution myself

[digital rose]

NO NO NO

Never

PyQt5?

You know how powerful it is?

I'll give you an example

https://github.com/Prx001/Python-Qt-examples/blob/main/PyQt5/QtWidgets/Grid layout in MainWindow.py

@tight ice

[tight ice]

can you help me with my problem?

[digital rose]

I've set layout on a QWidget (an inherited class from QWidget), and in my QMainWindow I set it as central widget

[digital rose]

yes of course if I can

[tight ice]

so

[digital rose]

check this one this will help

[tight ice]

i want to make a window with a button, and when i press the button it closes that window and makes a new window

but some reason you can only make one QMainWindow

[digital rose]

The new window is different?

or the same?

[tight ice]

same background different widgets

its gonna be like

you press the button called "launch"

it closes

makes a loading screen

then that closes

and shows an app

if that makes sense

[digital rose]

ok so

[tight ice]

3 phases

[digital rose]

Do you really use the advantages of QMainWindow over QWidget? I mean, menubar, toolbar, statusbar, do you use them? if you don't, you can use QWidget and it makes it easier

[digital rose]

I'll code an example

[tight ice]

okay

[tight ice]

I like QMainWindow

idk why

it was nice and easy to make my window

btw

the 1st phase

the button

i made it click

and destroy the window

but i couldnt make a second

would you like to see my code?

[digital rose]

you want something like "time.sleep(1)" ?

[tight ice]

its pretty poor

[tight ice]

its gonna be phase 1 press button --> time.sleep phase 2 --> create loading screen (just a loading gif with moving text underneath for 5 seconds) time.sleep phase 3 --- > app run

[digital rose]

I'll try

[tight ice]

cheers

i like pyqt5

it seems like a great module

its just .. hard

i dont see why you casnt make multiple QMainWindows

[digital rose]

Ok I've done it, but should I post the code here?

[tight ice]

sure

im curious how you've done it

[proven basin]

Hey @digital rose!

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

[tight ice]

3 phases right?

[digital rose]

So I sent the code to your DM

that's it

bye

[onyx nymph]

I want to achive similar desing in my qt app

but how can i set margins from the edges and a fixed size for grid layout?

I'm lost

[true hawk]

hey

how do I modify the execution of the app

anyone

[digital rose]

Any help with this? anyone has an idea how to do this?

Has anyone an idea how to close 2 QMessageBox simultaneously?

[tawdry mulch]

usually I wouldnt make this messagebox, rather make it a label or something

[digital rose]

Didn't thought about that, I'll give it a try. Thank you @tawdry mulch

[digital rose]

Hi, Can someone help me why I get the 27 even if I choose No

[tawdry mulch]

Your if is wrong

[digital rose]

the problem if I press N the bill still 27

[tawdry mulch]

Make it like if add_cheese.lower() == 'y': same with tomatoes

When you say if add_cheese == 'Y' or 'y' is equivalent to: if add_cheese == 'Y' or bool('Y')==True:. Which is obviously not what you want. @digital rose

And bool('y') is always True, so hence the condition is executed and always added

[digital rose]

yes you are right

thanks

You guys are probably the people to ask

Would having windows with multiple tabs be important to you?

I'm using wxPython as my windowing system and I don't they have a system for multitabbed windows

The only application I can think of where multiple tabs are really important is a browser, and beyond that, maybe a creative program like an adobe program. But There doesn't seem to me to be any 'standard' setup among applications for multiple tabs

Thoughts?

[lime monolith]

wxPython has various book controls

[eager viper]

🤮

Horrible, horrible book controls. I thought they were for multiple panels in a window though

[tight ice]

👋

PyQt5

timer = QTimer(window)
        timer.timeout.connect(partial(Increase_Step, progressBar, 100))
        timer.start(100)

def Increase_Step(progressBar, n):

    for i in range(0, n, 2):
        wait(100)
        progressBar.setValue(i + 1)
        if i == 99:
            print('hi')
            return

this keeps looping

how can i make it stop when it hits 99?

the progressBar doesnt stop

[wooden stirrup]

Do if i > 99

Otherwise would only stop if it was exactly 99

Not over it

[mighty rock]

yeah you're stepping two numbers which means all of the numbers you're going to be looping over are even and you're checking i against an odd number

but i don't think it explains why it doesn't stop

[tight ice]

yeah but thats not the point, it prints 'hi' but doesnt end, the progress wheel keeps looping

how can i make the progressBar stop when it gets to 100 not loop

[urban garden]

Hello everybody,
I started to work with PyQt5 recently and found out about Qt Designer. I watched some videos and I have a nice Design now.
I have a sidebar to switch between pages. Those pages are created with this command: self.page_1 = QtWidgets.QWidget()
Then i add them to a self.Pages_Widget = QtWidgets.QStackedWidget() with this command: self.Pages_Widget.addWidget(self.page_1)

Too this point everything works fine but now i want to show something on page_1 and I can't figure out how to do so. (For example a Lable with some text in it)
Can someone help me?

This is my Framework:

• Main.py (everything connectet)
• ui_functions.py (the animation for the Gui is here)
• ui_main.py (layout of the GUI)

Everything in the same folder.
And i try to and the lable to the Page in the Main.py (Maybe not the best way it's just to find out how to do this)

[tawdry mulch]

You want to show page_1 ?

[urban garden]

No i want to add a lable to page_1

[tight ice]

for pyqt5 how can i change the text color of the QLineEdit

so it defaults to black

how can i make it white font when you type?

and im looking here but idk what to look for

https://doc.qt.io/qtforpython-5/PySide2/QtWidgets/QLineEdit.html

this doesnt tell me how to change font-color

[tawdry mulch]

You set it via the stylesheet

[tight ice]

yeah i know, that is the stylesheet x.x its fine i figured it out without the docs

[tight ice]

that screenshot is stylesheet and the text-color isnt on it

[tawdry mulch]

Just color, I think

[tight ice]

i know

[tight ice]

i figured that out with trial and error but i wish it wouldve been on the docs

[tawdry mulch]

It should I guess

[tawdry mulch]

https://doc.qt.io/qtforpython/overviews/stylesheet-examples.html#customizing-the-foreground-and-background-colors

[cursive basin]

how to do you change the cursor postion in a QLineEdit widget i m using pyside6

[tawdry mulch]

Isnt there a setCursorPosition method?

[tight ice]

oh right

[cursive basin]

that isnt working in my code

class MyWidget(QtWidgets.QWidget):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.test1 = QtWidgets.QLineEdit()
        self.test1.setMinimumHeight(400)
        self.test1.setStyleSheet('padding-left: 100px; padding-top: 90px;')
        self.test1.textChanged.connect(self.magic)
        self.layout = QtWidgets.QVBoxLayout(self)
        self.layout.addWidget(self.test1)

    @QtCore.Slot()
    def magic(self, event):
        print(event)

    def keyPressEvent(self, event):
        if event.key() == 16777220:
            print(self.test1.cursorPosition())
            self.test1.setCursorPosition(10)
            print(self.test1.cursorPosition())

[tawdry mulch]

What error

[cursive basin]

none error

i mean no error

[tawdry mulch]

Then what is the issue?

[cursive basin]

it dosent changes the cursor postion

[tawdry mulch]

Put a print('Hello') inside keyPressEvent and make sure it is running

[cursive basin]

it is

it outputs two zeroes 0

[tawdry mulch]

Ah yes, I think you need to have focus, try switching the focus onto the app

[cursive basin]

still

i clicked on the input field and hit enter

but still it outputs zero only

[tawdry mulch]

Try this:

    def keyPressEvent(self, event):
        if event.key() == 16777220:
            print(self.test1.cursorPosition())
            self.test1.setFocus()
            self.test1.setCursorPosition(10)
            print(self.test1.cursorPosition())

[cursive basin]

still

[tight ice]

how does this work? if you press any key on your keyboard does this trigger? btw just curious, i wanna implement smthing like that

[cursive basin]

nope

16777220 is int key for 'enter'

[cursive basin]

@tawdry mulch any idea?

[tawdry mulch]

Not really, docs says it should work https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qlineedit.html#cursorPosition-prop

[cursive basin]

you are sending pyqt5 docs

i am using pyside6

i have been reading the docs for 30mins

and couldn't find anything

[tawdry mulch]

https://srinikom.github.io/pyside-docs/PySide/QtGui/QLineEdit.html#PySide.QtGui.PySide.QtGui.QLineEdit.setCursorPosition

[cursive basin]

i also tried doing this

        self.input_feild_cursor = QtGui.QCursor()
        self.input_feild_cursor.setPos(100, 90)
        self.test1.setCursor(self.input_feild_cursor)

[tawdry mulch]

@sudden coral Can you take a look at this one? ^^

[cursive basin]

thats not for pyside6 i am reading this doc https://doc.qt.io/qtforpython/PySide6/QtWidgets/QLineEdit.html#PySide6.QtWidgets.PySide6.QtWidgets.QLineEdit.setCursorPosition

[tawdry mulch]

Do you see its all almost the same stuf??

[cursive basin]

yea

[tawdry mulch]

Try a lower number? Something like 2 or 3. Just for the sake of it..

[cursive basin]

:( dosent works

[tawdry mulch]

Hmmmm jus wait for someone else to come up with a better solution then

[cursive basin]

yea ig

and also you were giving that guy some egs on stylesheet can you find one for pyside too @tawdry mulch

[tawdry mulch]

It is going to almost be the same thing

[cursive basin]

hmm i guess they arent much of a difference

[cursive basin]

does my code work on your local machine?

[tawdry mulch]

Obviously I have not run it

[cursive basin]

can you try running it

[tawdry mulch]

I do not have PyQt installed

[cursive basin]

pyside

[tawdry mulch]

same

[cursive basin]

no for pyside

you just need pyside

[urban garden]

Hello guys,
i asked this question before but I think that my explanation of the Problem was trash so here is my second try:

I created a GUI in Qt Designer (see the following picture) and now I want to show something on that big light grey square.

I have 3 files (all in the same folder): Main.py, ui_main.py and ui_function.py
The layout/style of the GUI is written in ui_main.py and the animation for my menu is written in ui_function.py.

The big light grey square is a QtWidgets.QStackedWidget() and is createt in ui.main.py. Then I add pages to that Stacked Widget.
Like this:

from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidget

class Ui_MainWindow(object):
  def setupUi(self, MainWindow):
    self.Pages_Widget = QtWidgets.QStackedWidget(self.frame_pages)
    self.Pages_Widget.setObjectName("Pages_Widget")

    self.page_1 = QtWidgets.QWidget()
    self.page_1.setObjectName("page 1")
    self.Pages_Widget.addWidget(self.page_1)

The pages are connected to the Buttons in the left Menu. This looks like this:

import (other PyQt5 classes)
from PasswordManager.ui_functions import *
from PasswordManager.ui_main import Ui_MainWindow

class MainWindow(QMainWindow):
  def __init__(self):
    QMainWindow.__init__(self)
    self.ui = Ui_MainWindow()
    self.ui.setupUi(self)

    # ---TOGGLE/BURGUER MENU--- #
    self.ui.Btn_Menu_Toggle.clicked.connect(lambda: UIFunctions.toggleMenu(self, 250, True))

    # ---PAGES--- #

    # PAGE 1
    self.ui.Btn_Menu_1.clicked.connect(lambda: self.ui.Pages_Widget.setCurrentWidget(self.ui.page_1))
    
    # SHOW SOMETHING ON page_1 HERE
    
    # ---SHOW ==> MAIN WINDOW--- #
        self.show()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    window = MainWindow()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

(Make sure 'QTextCursor' is registered using qRegisterMetaType().)```

im trying to use a thread and i get this ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[cursive basin]

the error explains itself

[tight ice]

[elfin totem]

Is there a way to integrate gui with python code without coding it directly?

[tight ice]

you can use an app called Qt Designer

[elfin totem]

Ok

[tight ice]

you can generate code from Qt Designer

[elfin totem]

So you design the gui and it spits out code

[tight ice]

correct!

[elfin totem]

Cool cool cool

[tight ice]

it spits out code and the code uses a module called PyQt5

[elfin totem]

Does the gui hinder performance?

[tight ice]

what do you mean?

[elfin totem]

Does it make the program considerably slower

[tight ice]

PyQt5?

[elfin totem]

Yes

[past wolf]

@tight ice what resource are you using to learn PyQt5?

[tight ice]

google 😢

im currently stuck

my threading isnt working

[past wolf]

how did you get started?

[tawdry mulch]

no

[tight ice]

wdym

i just

i watched a 3 minute youtube video to see how to create a widget then from there i just read the docs

[past wolf]

alright thanks!

[tight ice]

np, if you need some help let me know

[past wolf]

will do, cheers!

Hi guy's, I'm using tkinter and I'm trying to scroll a label with a scrollbar but I don't really know how(I'm new to tkinter and i'm trying to learn it). Can someone explain me why the label won't scroll pls? Here's the code :

from tkinter import ttk

root = Tk()
root.title("Test")
root.geometry("1400x800")
root.config(background="orange")
# root.resizable(False, False)

canvas_big_square = Canvas(root, width=1400, height=800, highlightthickness=0, background='yellow')
canvas_big_square.place(x=0, y=0)


# add a scrollbar to the canvas
my_scrollbar = ttk.Scrollbar(root, orient=VERTICAL, command=canvas_big_square.yview)
my_scrollbar.pack(side=RIGHT, fill=Y)


# creating another frame inside the canvas
second_frame = Frame(canvas_big_square, background="green")


# Add that new frame to a window in the canvas
canvas_big_square.create_window((0, 0), window=second_frame, anchor="nw")


# configure the canvas

canvas_big_square.configure(yscrollcommand=my_scrollbar)
canvas_big_square.bind("<Configure>", lambda e: canvas_big_square.configure(scrollregion=canvas_big_square.bbox("all")))


# Label

y = 200
a = 1
while a < 30:
    label = Label(canvas_big_square, text="test text")
    label.place(x=340, y=y)
    y = y + 40
    a = a + 1


root.mainloop()```

Hi

I have a question

How would I make the arrow type thing

It uses the inquirer module

And is called a command line interface or somthing

[tawdry mulch]

I think place is the problem

I do not think it will force the "canvas" to expand

[pearl dust]

so you're saying that I should ".pack()" or ".grid()" the canvas? @tawdry mulch

[tawdry mulch]

Well even then, I do not think you pack() objects in the canvas

create_window() exists for a reason

[pearl dust]

okok thanks

[buoyant fulcrum]

Hi

Is someone able to help me accomplish something in tkinter?

I'm looking to create a frame inside a canvas

would anyone know how I could do that? I'm new to tkinter

[static cove]

what's the code you have so far?

[buoyant fulcrum]

well what I need to accomplish is the following..

so I want to use a canvas to select the size of a frame, which can have all my widgets in it

the code I have so far in that class is:

[static cove]

Okay, so you have a Frame and you want a canvas in hat frame? Or that frame in a canvas?

[buoyant fulcrum]

erm..

I have a frame, I want a canvas in it, which has a frame in it

if that makes sense^

[static cove]

Okay so big overall Frame, and then you want to place a canvas inside that frame. That canvas happens to have a frame inside of it. You're asking how to place the canvas inside the base frame?

[buoyant fulcrum]

Yeah kind of, I would like to know, how do I make a frame and put it inside a canvas

[static cove]

So a super basic Frame with a canvas inside:

class SpecialWindow(tk.Frame):
    def __init__(self):
        self.canvas = tk.Canvas(self)
        self.inner_frame = tk.Frame(self.canvas)

        self.canvas.pack() # or grid if you want
        self.canvas.create_window((0,0), window=self.inner_frame)
        #Then you can have additional scroll bar stuff connected in the init

If you can provide minimum working code, I can probably provide you a more concrete answer

[buoyant fulcrum]

ill try

I have no idea why or how, it gave me an even better result than what I needed

Thank you for helping me

[clever coral]

I’m making a GUI which will display info from excel files and images (possibly 3D renders as well). Will tkinter suffice or would you recommend a different module?

[ionic moat]

Something like that sounds a bit advanced for a tkinter GUI

Tkinter just doesn't have the widgets for that

Qt comes with all the tools you'd need for a GUI, like 3D rendering, spreadsheets, and lots of other stuff

You can bind matplotlib and PyQt5 together to display the 3D rendering directly onto the GUI

[clever coral]

@ionic moat alright ill definitely look into pyqt5.

One question though: when do I use tkinter? Like if something like pyqt5 is just more advanced why not almost always use it (or should I already be lol)?

[ionic moat]

Because tkinter is simple, it's easy to use, and great for beginners. The only reasons why you'd not want to use tkinter is if you're looking to do something more advanced. Tkinter is really old, and hasn't been up to date with the standards, for example, tkinter doesn't have the amount of flexibility that other GUI frameworks have, such as Qt, Kivy, Wx, etc..., it's just old

I'm not saying tkinter is bad, it's good for beginners and a great learning experience on how GUIs work, but it's not really relevant for actual apps as it doesn't produce enough functionality that some would need

[clever coral]

Yeah that makes sense. Thanks for the help :)

[digital rose]

I'am trying to find a library that I could use to recreate a CLI , can I just post my code here?

I have searched for some but looking for some recommendations

[white fable]

it runs and get close automatically after running

tkinter for 3D? I do not think so

[tight ice]

ursina maybe?

has anyone here used pygubu?

[azure swallow]

Hi, i have written a little gui application to grade students and testing that app is annoying because i have to fill in so many fields all the time. Is there a way to always fill in the same automatically? Something like a test but not really a test since i just need to check the created .html

So in short, all i need to do is to fill some text and click a button

[tawdry mulch]

Which framewoek

[azure swallow]

pyqt5, sry i forgot to mention

[lime monolith]

Have your GUI fill in a dataclass, pass the dataclass to the code you want to test, that way you can create a dataclass without the GUI to test the non GUI parts of the code.

How can I convert my Entry into an 'int'?
I tried int(minimum_entry) or min = int(minimum_entry.get())
But I didn't work.
I want the Entry to make a minimum and a maximum value and then pick a random number

minimum_entry = tk.Entry(root1)
minimum_entry.place(relwidth=0.16, relheight=0.11, relx=0.3, rely=0.25)
minimum_entry.config(font=("Arial", 18))

maximum_entry = tk.Entry(root1)
maximum_entry.place(relwidth=0.16, relheight=0.11, relx=0.3, rely=0.4)
maximum_entry.config(font=("Arial", 18))



def submit():
    import random


    random_number = random.randint(minimum_entry,maximum_entry)

    root2 = tk.Tk()
    root2.title("RNG App.exe")

    canvas2 = tk.Canvas(root2, height=200, width=200)
    canvas2.pack()

    result = tk.Label(root2, text=random_number, fg="black")
    result.place(relwidth=0.3, relheight=0.15, relx=0.35, rely=0.4)
    result.config(font=("Arial", 17))

    ok = tk.Button(root2, text="OK", bg="grey", fg="black", command=root2.destroy)
    ok.place(relwidth=0.3,  relheight=0.15, relx=0.35, rely=0.7 )
    ok.config(font=("Arial", 11))



submit = tk.Button(root1, bg="grey", text="Let's goooo! ", fg="black", command=submit)
submit.place(relwidth=0.365, relheight=0.11, relx=0.1, rely=0.6)
submit.config(font=("Arial", 17))

[azure swallow]

so with your method my fields get filled in with some information and then create the .html document i need to look at?

ok i have like 12 qlabels and 3 textboxes. If i press the generate button it generates the .html. For ez purpose i would just use 1 qlabel and then press the button, i will pre write the code now and hope that it works as far as possible xd

[lime monolith]

Something like this(GUI code not fleshed out)

from dataclasses import dataclass

@dataclass
class YourData:
    data1: str
    data2: str

class Gui:
    ...
    ...
    def get_data(self):
        your_data = YourData(data1_from_gui, data2_from_gui)
        create_html(your_data)```
so then `create_html` can be used by making a instance of YourData without the GUI
```py
#test_create_html
create_html(YourData("data1", "data2"))```

[lime monolith]

int(minimum_entry.get()) is the way to get the entry's value and convert it to an int

    minimum = int(minimum_entry.get())
    maximum = int(maximum_entry.get())
    random_number = random.randint(minimum, maximum)```

[manic cobalt]

Ah ok, I realized my mistake, then I did it well but I was too 10 IQ because I didnt type anything into the two Entry, that's why i got errors. Thanks!

[azure swallow]

Sorry, im not really understanding this as i am not really experienced in python....

[lime monolith]

Separate your code that create the html from the GUI code so it can be tested without the GUI by passing it some test values.

[azure swallow]

Now i do understand thanks 😄 So can i import my script, change the create_html() function and then call it from my "test" script?

hi im quite new to alot of python concepts and im building a simple file manager application using tkinter. whats the best way to save the files to the app that the user has chosen once they close the application. i was thinking about using sql database is this the best way?

[quartz tide]

Thought I would post here -- if anyone knows about embedding IPython in GUIs, especially in Gtk3, I have posted a question at SO: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68790080/embedding-ipython-7-with-matplotlib-in-gtk

anyone know good tutorial, commands description for pyqt5?

[deft knoll]

How can i overlay app window using python?

[tawdry mulch]

which framework

[deft knoll]

It doesn't matter

[tawdry mulch]

You can use tkinter

[clever coral]

I'm a little confused on how the qt designer works in comparison to just writing the app using python. What exactly is it, and how does it work in contrast to using code? It seems like it would just make things a lot easier, but are there any reasons why I wouldn't want to use it and should instead manually code it?

*2nd question: I know pyqt6 is out, but I've only heard people reference pyqt5. Which should I use?

[deft knoll]

How can i overlay window?

[tawdry mulch]

You can be like root.attributes('-topmost',1)

[wooden stirrup]

I want to say I thought they had a embeddable terminal

https://ipython.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api/generated/IPython.terminal.embed.html

https://www.mfitzp.com/forum/t/pyqt5-embed-external-program-into-qwidget/292

Once pyqt6.2 is out all core stuff from 5 should be stable like qtwebengine etc afaik

If you can do all your current stuff in pyqt6 go for that I'd say but some support might be limited till pyqt6 has full functionality and third parties implement support

Hi! i am trying to make a program using opencv but im unsuccessful, there is no opencv channel so im asking here. i recently made a program of object detection , where you show a object in front of the camera and it recognizes it, it works well but it requires some large pbtxt files.. i want to make a kinda training model for the same kind of result... so where i train 100 image for each object and then it compare the image stored with the image taken by the camera, but everytime i compare them it does a 100% comparison, even a slight different and it gives
'not match'
so could anybody help me out with image comparison?

[obtuse thistle]

you probably want #data-science-and-ml and you'll want to show at least a minimally reproducible amount of code for people to want to help

[digital rose]

So I'm learning tkinter and I'm wanting to make a mobile game
I have a upgrade button
and I'm wanting to make it pop open a new box, not that big but enough to fix 3 buttons in it
and also, I have a button called click for 1$
How can I center that
but on row wise, so x
I want it to be in the middle of the screen for x but I want the y value to be almost to the bottom of the screen

[static cove]

So do you have code so far we can work with?

[digital rose]

This is what it looks like so far

You can see the buttons are uneven

and the 1 is going to become bigger so I'm looking for a solution where it'll be dead center no matter what

from tkinter import *

money = 5
earnings = 1

# Button 1 Earnings
def money_button():
    global money
    global earnings
    money += earnings
    print(f"You now have {money}")

def upgrade_button():
    global money
    global earnings
    

# Screen
screen = Tk()
screen.title(f"You have {money}$")
screen.geometry("500x500")

welcome_text = Label(
    text = "Welcome to Money Simulator",
    fg = "red",
    bg = "blue"
    )

welcome_text.pack()

# Money

click_me = Button(
    text = f"Click for {earnings}$",
    fg = "black", bg = "green",
    command = money_button
    )

click_me.place(x = 190, y = 450)

# Upgrades
upgrades = Button(
    text = "UPGRADES", fg = "black",
    bg = "green"
    )

upgrades.place(x = 110, y = 450)

# Store
store = Button(
    text = "STORE",
    fg = "black",
    bg = "green"
    )

screen.mainloop()

This is my code so far

I started working on the other buttons

[static cove]

So how familiar are you with tkinter's different placement methods? Like place, pack, and grid?

[digital rose]

I just learned

today

Spent like an hour watching some videos pretty fast

I usually depend on python websites to see whats in the module

[static cove]

So before I recommend one over the other let me give a quick rundown:
Place - you give it an exact x and y coordinate. It's not responsive and generally not a good solution.

Pack - It figures out the order of things relative to the edges of your window and the other items. You can tell it to go on the right, bottom, top, left. It's alright for simple UIs.

Grid - You can control where things are placed in a grid format. It has a couple of non-intuitive aspects but is generally what I recommend.

The catch is that if you use Pack you can't use grid. You need to pick one or the other

[digital rose]

Okay

Grid sounds better

So I'd probably go with grid.

[static cove]

I'm going to recommend you use grid. The trick is that to get the empty rows to show up and take up space, you need to give the empty rows a weight. Check out this SO

[digital rose]

okay!

ty

[static cove]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41323216/how-to-get-a-element-to-stick-to-the-bottom-right-corner-in-tkinter

[digital rose]

Another question

[static cove]

The first answer explains weights with grid. So you can start there and experiment.

Important thing to remember is that empty rows and columns without a set non-zero weight won't show up

[static cove]

Shoot

[digital rose]

Well 2

Is their a way for me to make the art of the button

I really enjoy pixel art

and was wondering if it's possible for me to make a background out of pixels, maybe buttons I probably wont do that though

[static cove]

You can add a background image to the button, that's probably the best way

[digital rose]

okay

how can I change the select style

like with css

like how you would with css

like the hover effects

but like you know when you click the button it looks weird

I wanna change it

[static cove]

So to change the styling and everything, you want to look at ttk styles

Good starting place: https://www.pythontutorial.net/tkinter/ttk-style/

And also this https://docs.python.org/3/library/tkinter.ttk.html

You'll find it's probably more limited than you want though

[digital rose]

Can you help me with the grid thing

I'm not understanding it
