Popup window in Tkinter can be created by defining the Toplevel(win) window. A Toplevel window manages to create a child window along with the parent window. It always opens above all the other windows defined in any application. We can create a top-level window or a child window by initializing the object of Toplevel(parent). It inherits all the property of its parent window, such as geometry, title, and width or height.ExampleIn this example, we will create a button that will open a Popup window above all the other windows.#Import the required Libraries from tkinter import * from tkinter import ttk ...

To find the minimum height and width of canvas items, we can use the bounding box property of Canvas. Basically, a bounding box property enables the canvas item to return the position inside the canvas. Initially, every item in the bbox(item) method defines the minimum and maximum width and height of the item.Example#Import required libraries from tkinter import * #Create an instance of tkinter frame win= Tk() #Define the geometry of the window win.geometry("750x250") #Initialize a Canvas canvas= Canvas(win, width= 600, height= 200) #Add a text inside the Canvas text= canvas.create_text(300, 20, text= "This is a New Line Text", font=16, ...

Tkinter generally provides three general ways to define the geometry of the widgets. They are − Place, Pack, and Grid Management. If we use the Pack geometry manager, then place the two buttons in the frame using side property. It places the buttons horizontally stacked in the window in (Left, Right, Top and Bottom) direction. The side property maintains the same width and internal padding between all the adjacent widget in the application.Example#Import the required Libraries from tkinter import * from tkinter import ttk import random #Create an instance of Tkinter frame win = Tk() #Set the geometry of Tkinter frame ...

We can use the select_set(list_item_index) method by specifying the index of the list items that need to be selected by default.So, let us suppose that we have a list of programming languages in our Listbox and what we want is to set the first item selected, then we can provide the index of a first list item in the method. The method must be invoked before the end of mainloop() function.Example#Import tkinter ... Read More
