A table contains data items in the form of rows and columns. Consider a case of having a table GUI in an application where we can manipulate the data using other Python libraries such as Numpy, Pandas, Matplotlib, etc. Tkinter provides TreeView widget which enable the user to draw the table and insert the data into it. The TreeView widget can be constructed by defining the Treeview(parent, column, **options) constructor.Example# Import the required libraries from tkinter import * from tkinter import ttk # Create an instance of tkinter frame win = Tk() # Set the size of the ...

Consider a scenario where we need something to display a menu with some choices in the form of a dropdown list. To achieve this particular feature, Tkinter provides an OptionMenu widget which consists of features to add choices and a list of items in it. We can set up the default behavior of the OptionMenu widget by configuring its property such as background color, width, height, foreground color, etc.Example# Import the required libraries from tkinter import * from PIL import Image, ImageTk # Create an instance of tkinter frame win = Tk() # Set the size of the ...

The canvas widget is one of the most versatile widgets in Tkinter Library. Generally, it is used to draw shapes, animate objects, and create complex graphics in any application. To create shapes like Rectangle, we use the create_rectangle(x, y, x+ width, y+ height, **options) method. We can configure the item on the canvas by adding properties such as width, height, fill and bg, border width, etc.The alpha property in canvas defines the transparency of the canvas item. However, the property is not available in the Tkinter library; thus, we must define a function to provide the transparency attribute in shape. ... Read More

The purpose of Tkinter Treeview widget is to provide the user to access the data which can be calculated and modified for the future needs of the application. The Treeview widget is used to populate the given data in a table format. We can add or insert a column, insert data into rows. Sometimes, there might be a case when we want to select multiple rows at a time. This can be done by pressing the Ctrl key and selecting the row from the table.Example# Import the required libraries from tkinter import * from tkinter import ttk # Create ... Read More

The Tkinter button widget can be used to perform a specific actionable event within the application. We can also invoke the button widget without performing a click operation on it. The invoke() method in Tcl/Tk does the same thing which returns a string in case if there are any commands given to the Button. The invoke() method can be called up after the initialization of the Button widget. The event will be called automatically once the Button widget is prepared.Example# Import the required libraries from tkinter import * from tkinter import ttk from tkinter import messagebox # Create an ...

Tkinter is a standard Python library that is used to build featured GUI-based desktop applications. Tkinter itself offers a variety of functions and widgets that can be used to design and serve the application's needs.Tkinter Treeview widget is one of the consistent widgets which is used for driving the data and information in the form of a table. It works similar to MS Excel where we can add or define columns, insert some values to it, and perform queries in the backend using other Python libraries (such as Numpy or Pandas).Tkinter Treeview widget is created by defining the Treeview(parent, column=(**col), ...

Tkinter has many inbuilt functions that power the application logic to make it more functional and maintainable. Tkinter has the wait_window() method which ideally waits for an event to happen and executes the event of the main window. The wait_window() method can be called after the event which needs to happen before the main window event.The wait_window() method is useful in many applications where a particular event needs to be executed first before the main program.ExampleIn this example, we have created a toplevel window, which when gets destroyed, the event in the main window gets executed instantly.# Import the required ...

Tkinter Python library can be used to create functional and featured applications. It has lots of packages and functions that are used for different functionalities. The filedialog package in tkinter gives access to interact with the file system in a local machine. Using filedialog, we can get access to any file from the system and use it to perform CRUD operation.To give the focus to the file dialog, we can have a parent window that is associated with the dialog. If the main window is defined globally on the top, the associated widgets get focused automatically on the top of ... Read More

We generally use Tkinter to develop standard GUI-based applications with default style and theme applied to all the widgets in it. To change the overall style of the application GUI, we use the ttk package. The Tkinter ttk is a themed widget which is used to style the tkinter widgets. It provides a native GUI look to the widget.The themed widget has many inbuilt functions and features which are accessible and can be used thoroughly in the application. ttk works in the same way as CSS does for an HTML page. You can use ttk either by importing directly or ... Read More

Update method processes all the pending idle tasks, unvisited events, calling functions, and callbacks. The method is applicable for updating and processing all the events or tasks such as redrawing widgets, geometry management, configuring the widget property, etc.It also ensures that if the application has any pending tasks, then it will just update or refresh the value that affects the whole part of the application. Using update for a single pending task would be nasty, thus Tkinter also provides the update_idletasks() method. It only updates the idle pending task that is stable or not updating in the application for some ... Read More
