[Tkinter] the first item in listbox

[rwahdan]

Hi,

I need to know how to get the value of the first item in the listbox?

1	song_box.select_set(0)

I think this will only make the selection of the first item. I need to play music of playlist. after reaching the end of the list I need to move the path to the first item so it can replay from start again.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

last_value = song_box.get("end") if song == last_value and converted_current_time == converted_song_length:     thefirst = song_box.select_set(0)     pygame.mixer.music.load(thefirst)     pygame.mixer.music.play(loops=0) elif song != last_value and converted_current_time == converted_song_length:     next_song()

the second statement is working since i am not reaching the end of the playlist it will go to the next item in the list.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

def next_song():     global paused     if paused==True:         paused = False         play()     #get current file in the list     next_one = song_box.curselection()     # get next file in the list     next_one = next_one[0] + 1     #assign the next file in the list     song = song_box.get(next_one)     #load and play the file     pygame.mixer.music.load(song)     pygame.mixer.music.play(loops=0)     # clear active bar in play list     song_box.select_clear(0, END)     # activate bar in play list     song_box.activate(next_one)     # set the active bar to next file     song_box.selection_set(next_one,last=None)

Thanks

listbox.get(0) will return the txt of the first item in the listbox.

listbox.get(0) will return the txt of the first item in the listbox.

I am getting bad listbox index error:

Error:
self.tk.call(self._w, 'activate', index)
tkinter.TclError: bad listbox index "C:/Users/ramit/PycharmProjects/mp3_player/audio/10_الكوثر.mp3": must be active, anchor, end, @x,y, or a number

here is my code again

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

last_value = song_box.get("end")   if song == last_value and converted_current_time == converted_song_length:     thefirst = song_box.get(0)     pygame.mixer.music.load(thefirst)     pygame.mixer.music.play(loops=0)     song_box.select_clear(0, END)     song_box.activate(thefirst)     song_box.selection_set(thefirst, last=None)   elif song != last_value and converted_current_time == converted_song_length:     next_song()

So how it is not active?? I have this:

1	song_box.activate(thefirst)

[Yoriz]

You don't activate by passing the string value returned by song_box.get(0),
Use the index to activate the first item song_box.activate(0) also song_box.selection_set(0)
