Stack Overflow Asked by SCH on December 3, 2020
I will create multiple entry box for user to input, and click on a button that will store all entry value in to a array, entries will be cleared, and then stored user can store another set of entry values.
So this button will do 2 functions:
1: store values in to my array
2: create 1st listbox with values from 1st array
In result, i can end up with multiple sets of array, and each sets of array with its own listbox.
I have not find related guide to this, or ‘dynamic create listbox’ did not help me. Possible to share examples if this doable.
Welcome to Stack Overflow Community.
As far as I understand your question, I have tried this
from tkinter import *
root = Tk()
def saveClear():
global entry_list
listbox = Listbox(root)
for entry in entry_list:
listbox.insert(END, entry.get())
entry.set('')
listbox.pack(padx = 10, pady = 10)
entry_list = []
for _ in range(5):
ent_var = StringVar()
ent = Entry(root, textvariable = ent_var)
entry_list.append(ent_var)
ent.pack(padx = 10, pady = 10)
but = Button(root, text = 'Save and Clear', command = saveClear)
but.pack(padx = 10, pady = 10)
root.mainloop()
UPDATE: In order to get the values form a ListBox()
, you will need to make use of listvariable
attribute with the target as Variable()
to store the values as a tuple and use the .get()
method to get the value of the same.
Here is the updated code:
from tkinter import *
root = Tk()
def retrieve(index):
global values
if index == 'all':
for value in values:
print(value.get())
else:
print(values[index].get())
values = []
def saveClear():
global entry_list, values
list_var = Variable()
listbox = Listbox(root, listvariable = list_var)
for entry in entry_list:
listbox.insert(END, entry.get())
entry.set('')
values.append(list_var)
listbox.pack(padx = 10, pady = 10)
entry_list = []
for _ in range(5):
ent_var = StringVar()
ent = Entry(root, textvariable = ent_var)
entry_list.append(ent_var)
ent.pack(padx = 10, pady = 10)
but = Button(root, text = 'Save and Clear', command = saveClear)
but.pack(padx = 10, pady = 10)
root.mainloop()
retrieve('all') #OR specify the index that you wish to retrieve
Here the retrieve()
is called after the end of mainloop()
, i.e., it will be executed after the termination of the mainloop, but you can use this function in your code as you require.
Hope it helped. Cheers!
