You could use the Text widget: from tkinter import * root = Tk() text = Text(root) text.pack() root.mainloop() Or with scrolling bars using ScrolledText: from tkinter import * from tkinter.scrolledtext import ScrolledText root = Tk() ScrolledText(root).pack() root.mainloop()
It sounds as if your save window should be modal. If this is a basic save window, why are you reinventing the wheel? Tk has a tkFileDialog for this purpose. If what you want is to override the default behaviour of destroying the window, you can simply do: root.protocol(‘WM_DELETE_WINDOW’, doSomething) # root is your root … Read more
Tk does not have any command to handle that, and Python doesn’t include any extra Tk extension to perform drag & drop inter-applications, therefore you need an extension to perform the operation. Tkdnd (the Tk extension at http://sourceforge.net/projects/tkdnd, not the Tkdnd.py module) works for me. To use it from Python, a wrapper is required. Quickly … Read more
Simply using from ctypes import windll windll.shcore.SetProcessDpiAwareness(1) and allowing font size adjustment solved my problems on Windows 10. Not sure why no one commented or assisted though. The blurry fonts are a pain, I would expect this thread had a debate and a best solution for this Tkinter nuisance..
This question has been answered fully, but it’s useful for me to be able to see what every font looks like so that I’m sure of which one I would like to use. In the interest of saving someone else from reinventing the wheel, I’ll post my code here. As above, each font family is … Read more
For a definitive guide to all of the options supported by each widget you should consult the tcl/tk documentation. It’s a fairly trivial mental exercise to translate the tcl into python. The only real problems are when the tcl options conflict with python reserved words (such as the -in option for pack and grid)
You have two problems. Let’s tackle them one at a time 1: the difference between python 2.5 and 2.6 on the same platform with the same font These two versions of python use different versions of tk. On my mac box, 2.5 uses tk version 8.4.19 and 2.6 uses 8.5.7. In version 8.5.2 of tk … Read more
Trying to run both event loops at the same time is a dubious proposition. However, since root.mainloop simply calls root.update repeatedly, one can simulate mainloop by calling update repeatedly as an asyncio task. Here is a test program that does so. I presume adding asyncio tasks to the tkinter tasks would work. I checked that … Read more
askopenfilenames returns a string instead of a list, that problem is still open in the issue tracker, and the best solution so far is to use splitlist: import Tkinter,tkFileDialog root = Tkinter.Tk() filez = tkFileDialog.askopenfilenames(parent=root, title=”Choose a file”) print root.tk.splitlist(filez) Python 3 update: tkFileDialog has been renamed, and now askopenfilenames directly returns a tuple: import … Read more
You turn off pack_propagate by setting pack_propagate(0) Turning off pack_propagate here basically says don’t let the widgets inside the frame control it’s size. So you’ve set it’s width and height to be 500. Turning off propagate stills allows it to be this size without the widgets changing the size of the frame to fill their … Read more
