I am trying to create checklist box in GUI . Is possible to do Tkinter ?( i DON'T want list of Check box)
I know Python Wx GUI development have this support but I am looking for support in Tk.
If anyone have idea please share link for details or way to do it ?
Tkinter doesn't have a widget like wxPython's ChecklistBox. However, one is trivial to create as a group of checkbuttons inside a frame.
Example:
class ChecklistBox(tk.Frame):
def __init__(self, parent, choices, **kwargs):
tk.Frame.__init__(self, parent, **kwargs)
self.vars = []
bg = self.cget("background")
for choice in choices:
var = tk.StringVar(value=choice)
self.vars.append(var)
cb = tk.Checkbutton(self, var=var, text=choice,
onvalue=choice, offvalue="",
anchor="w", width=20, background=bg,
relief="flat", highlightthickness=0
)
cb.pack(side="top", fill="x", anchor="w")
def getCheckedItems(self):
values = []
for var in self.vars:
value = var.get()
if value:
values.append(value)
return values
Example of usage:
choices = ("Author", "John", "Mohan", "James", "Ankur", "Robert")
checklist = ChecklistBox(root, choices, bd=1, relief="sunken", background="white")
...
print("choices:", checklist.getCheckedItems())
Would this be something you could use?
I wanted to get that functionality as well.
So I tried my hand at creating one.
Image for checkbox [0,1,-1]
chk = -1 Separator text
Optional: Image for data item. User data assigned to the item.
leftframe = tk.Frame( topframe)
leftframe.pack(side='left')
# create listbox object
example = CheckListBox(leftframe,height=60,width=20)
example.pack(side="left", fill="both", expand=True)
for i in range( 0,10):
data = []
example.setvalue( data , "altData","Some data here."+str( i +1) )
example.setvalue( data ,"tip", "Item Tool Tip here")
pic = folderImg if i%2==0 else fileImg
example.append( "First text " + str( i +1) , bg='lightgray' , chk=i%2 , image=pic, appdata=data)
