how to input a random entry with each button press? - nadavrock - Jun-17-2019 i have a tkinter gui wiht buttons. i have a button that enters random values inside a certain entry. i have a randint that a assigns that random value. however once assigend the button press will only use that same value. i want each time to use a differnt value. how to i accomplish this? code i have: root = Tk( ) entry = Entry(root, textvariable = number) entry_random = str(randint(2, 10)) def entryrandom(): entry.insert(END, entry_random) Button(root, text = "random", width = 10, height = 1, command = entryrandom).grid(row=5, column=2) RE: how to input a random entry with each button press? - Yoriz - Jun-17-2019 When asking a question please post a code sample that can be run. The reason you get the same random number is because randint is only called once before the button is pressed.The assignment of entry_random needs to be done in the event handler function so it gets a new value when the button is pressed.... def entryrandom(): entry_random = str(randint(2, 10)) entry.insert(END, entry_random) ... |
