Hello there.
I am attempting to bind the left mouse button to a grid of tkinter rectangles. I am trying to execute function clicked() when someone clock on a tkitner rectangle. I am looping their creation to create a grid. However, when I click the rectangle, the code is not executed.
Grid Creation Loop:
for x in range(0, wid, 60):
for y in range(0, leng, 60):
rectangle = drawCanv.create_rectangle(x, y, x+60, y+60, outline='black')
drawCanv.tag_bind("rectangle","<Button-1>",lambda: clicked)Function (just testing. will replace with other code):
def clicked():
print("You Clicked Me")
Is this what you are looking for?
from tkinter import *
def clicked (event) :
print (f'You clicked at {event.x} X {event.y}.')
root = Tk ()
drawCanv = Canvas (width = 541, height = 301, bd = 0)
drawCanv.bind ('<Button>', clicked)
for x in range (1, 540, 60) :
for y in range (1, 300, 60) :
rectangle = drawCanv.create_rectangle (x, y, x + 60, y + 60,\
outline = 'black')
drawCanv.pack ()
mainloop ()
I need the rectangles to act as buttons. I need to bind the key press directly to the RECTANGLE, not the canvas.
As far as I know, you will have to manually check if the mouse in inside of one of the boxes when it is clicked. See if this helps.
from tkinter import *
def clicked (event) :
button_number = (int (event.y / 60) * 9) + (1 + int (event.x / 60))
print (f'You clicked button number {button_number}.')
root = Tk ()
drawCanv = Canvas (width = 541, height = 301, bd = 0)
drawCanv.bind ('<Button-1>', clicked)
button_number = 1
for y in range (1, 300, 60) :
for x in range (1, 540, 60) :
rectangle = drawCanv.create_rectangle (x, y, x + 60, y + 60,\
outline = 'black')
drawCanv.create_text (x + 25, y + 30, text = button_number)
button_number += 1
drawCanv.pack ()
mainloop ()Alternately you can use real button configured to look like your little squares.
from tkinter import *
button_list = ['dummy']
class button_box :
def __init__ (self, button, ID_number) :
self.ID_number = ID_number
self.button = button
def clicked (self, event) :
print (f'You pressed button number {self.ID_number}')
root = Tk ()
button_number = 1
for y in range (5) :
for x in range (9) :
button = Button (width = 5, height = 3, text = button_number)
button.config (relief = 'solid', borderwidth = 1)
button.grid (row = y, column = x)
button_list.append (button_box (button, button_number))
button.bind ('<Button-1>', button_list[button_number].clicked)
button_number += 1
mainloop ()
Yes. I can very easily incorporate this with my existing code.
Thanks
