How to determine if tkinter attribute accepts color - Larz60+ - Sep-21-2016
Hello,
As most all are aware of, some of the tkinter widget attributes accept color. I'm thinking,
from a logical perspective, that there must be a way to determine programmatically if
that attribute is looking for a color.
for example tkinter Button activebackground
The following code gets most of what is needed:
from tkinter import *
class GetWidgetAttributes:
def __init__(self, root):
pass
def getAttributes(self, widget):
print('widget name: {}'.format(widget.widgetName))
keys = widget.keys()
print('\nattributes')
for key in keys:
print('attr: {}, curval: {}, type: {}'.format(key, widget[key], type(widget[key])))
if __name__ == '__main__':
root = Tk()
gw = GetWidgetAttributes(root)
# For Example, find all attributes of Tkinter Frame
gw.getAttributes(Button())but not that activebackground or background are looking for a color.Larz60+

I don't like this, but guess I'll use a hack looking for foreground, background and whatever else uses a color value
I've been looking at the tkinter source, and I don't see anything that indicates the category of attribute expected. As
one final attempt, I'll examine the tk C code. It would be better to find some other way to do this.
