I toke an online Python course for beginners the course was good and there was an final project on the first section, so I tried to Do it by myself by applying what I have learned, I did do it but there was no GUI on my programm so when I tried to improve my programm by adding GUI I stuck I didnt know how to link the code to the frame
I want to know if there is a standard to build the program GUI on any program
Like where is the best place to creacte the main window root = Tk() and the main loop
And shold I create multiple windows or one is enough
And so on
Thanks
Without seeing your program I don't think we can say. Each program is different so some might need many frames and others none and so on. If you show the program you couldn't get to work I expect advice can be give.
Hi Qubayel
Here a very simple GUI Tk Template:
#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from functools import partial
try:
# Tkinter for Python 2.xx
import Tkinter as tk
import tkFont as fnt
except ImportError:
# Tkinter for Python 3.xx
import tkinter as tk
import tkinter.font as fnt
APP_TITLE = "Simple GUI Tk Template"
APP_XPOS = 100
APP_YPOS = 100
APP_WIDTH = 300
APP_HEIGHT = 200
class Application(tk.Frame):
def __init__(self, master):
self.master = master
self.master.protocol("WM_DELETE_WINDOW", self.close)
tk.Frame.__init__(self, master)
def close(self):
print("Application-Shutdown")
self.master.destroy()
def main():
app_win = tk.Tk()
app_win.title(APP_TITLE)
app_win.geometry("+{}+{}".format(APP_XPOS, APP_YPOS))
app_win.geometry("{}x{}".format(APP_WIDTH, APP_HEIGHT))
app = Application(app_win).pack(fill='both', expand=True)
app_win.mainloop()
if __name__ == '__main__':
main() wuf

thanks for your response
can you please explain what dose these lines of code do?
def __init__(self, master):
self.master = master
self.master.protocol("WM_DELETE_WINDOW", self.close)
tk.Frame.__init__(self, master)Moderator Larz60+: Added Python tags. Please do this in the future (see help, BBCODE)
Here's the remplate I use which works for both applications with (or without a parent window)
#!/usr/bin/env python
try:
# Tkinter for Python 2.xx
import Tkinter as tk
except ImportError:
# Tkinter for Python 3.xx
import tkinter as tk
class GuiTemplate(tk.Frame):
def __init__(self, parent=None, title='Template Title',
geometry='600x400+10+10'):
if parent:
self.parent = parent
else:
self.parent = tk.Tk()
self.parent.title(title)
self.parent.geometry(geometry)
self.parent.protocol("WM_DELETE_WINDOW", self.quit)
tk.Frame.__init__(self, parent)
self.parent.mainloop()
def quit(self):
self.parent.destroy()
def main():
GuiTemplate()
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()I added wuf's quit routine

thanks for your reply, this is the code I wrote so far (The Python will be attached)
I want to display a login window when the admin name and password are correct destroy the window and create a new one to continue to menus
but I dont know where should i create the root window to be the main window after the login window is destroyed
Hi Qubayel
self.master.protocol("WM_DELETE_WINDOW", self.close)If you click the X-Button in the title bar of the main window this line of code shall call the 'close'-method where you can place code to be executed before the final close of the main window.
tk.Frame.__init__(self, master)
This shall create a main frame in the main window in which you place further application widgets.
