Gui -> Dateime -> grid - pynewby - Jan-19-2019 Hello all: I've spent a better part of two days before coming here.. I'm just trying to put the current date in a .grid I'm wondering if there is an easier way to do this. import tkinter import datetime from tkinter import * from tkinter import Tk mainWindow: Tk = tkinter.Tk() mainWindow.title("Camera Control Interface") w = 800 # Screen Width h = 700 # Screen Height # What is the machines screen width and height ws = mainWindow.winfo_screenwidth() hs = mainWindow.winfo_screenheight() # Calculate screen positioning for mainWindow x = (ws/2) - (w/2) y = (hs/2) - (h/2) # Set dimensions of screen from W and H above # And where is screen placed mainWindow.geometry('%dx%d+%d+%d' % (w, h,x, y)) # Define date time now = datetime.datetime.now() today = now.date() today.strftime('%m/%d/%Y') moment = now.time() moment.strftime("%H:%M:%S") # 24 hour time - can change to 12 hour with a %I # Start of configuration inputs here name, date, time, etc. . . label_1 = Label(mainWindow, text="Confirm Date") label_1.grid(row=0, column=0) label_2 = Label(mainWindow, print(today.strftime('%m/%d/%Y'))) label_2.grid(row=0, Column=1) mainWindow.mainloop()The output of the date is create but the gui is having issues.. Error output -> 01/19/2019 Process finished with exit code 1*** I've learned quite a bit over the last couple of days reading about datetime.. so I don't think I'm doing too bad for starting with no knowledge.. :) Anyways if there is an easier way to program a gui / grid I'm open to suggestions or if there is an easier way to do what I'm trying to do here? Looks like the date is getting computed just find. just has issues when trying to get it to grid. Just trying to get current date to show in grid. Since the date is coming up. I'm guessing the issue is at line 33 for label_2 Any suggests for a newb would be cool.. :) thank you RE: Gui -> Dateime -> grid - Larz60+ - Jan-19-2019 you can't print into a label (line 33), you must assign text line in line 31 change line 33 from: label_2 = Label(mainWindow, print(today.strftime('%m/%d/%Y')))to: label_2date = today.strftime('%m/%d/%Y') label_2 = Label(mainWindow, text=label2date)this only works once, because the second time, you can't create another label2, you need to reuse existing one to do that you need a tkinter StringVal, set to the date, and in the label use textvariable = StringVal name. RE: Gui -> Dateime -> grid - pynewby - Jan-24-2019 thank you.. I inserted code and fixed a few typos of my own.. it works Thanks again.. |
