I am making a notepad like program, currently this is what i have.
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import filedialog
from tkinter import messagebox
def file_new():
print("New")
def save(self):
print('Save')
def save_as():
print('hi')
def file_open(): #this is how i get the .txt file
fileo = filedialog.askopenfilename(filetypes=('Text files', '*.txt'))
with open(fileo, 'r') as infile:
data = infile.read()
def dummy():
print("I'm a dummy :)")
def copyright():
messagebox.showinfo('Copyright', 'This product belongs to Roemer Inc.')
class RoomEditor(Text, object):
def __init__(self, master, **options):
Text.__init__(self, master, **options)
self.config(
insertbackground="white",
selectforeground="#00FF08",
selectbackground="#00F000",
font="{Courier} 14",
foreground="#00C907",
background="black",
borderwidth=0,
wrap=WORD,
undo=True,
width=64,
)
root = Tk()
root.config(background="black")
root.title("Roemer's Notepad")
root.wm_state("zoomed")
editor = RoomEditor(root)
editor.pack(fill=Y, expand=1, pady=10)
editor.focus_set()
# Tkinter puts menus at the top by default
menu = Menu(root, bg='#00C907')
root.config(menu=menu)
subMenu = Menu(menu, tearoff=0)
# Adds a drop down when "File" is clicked
menu.add_cascade(label="File", menu=subMenu)
subMenu.add_command(label="New...", command=file_new)
subMenu.add_cascade(label="Save", command=save)
subMenu.add_cascade(label="Save As", command=save_as)
subMenu.add_cascade(label="Open", command=file_open)
subMenu.add_separator()
subMenu.add_command(label="Exit", command=root.quit)
editMenu = Menu(menu, tearoff=0)
menu.add_cascade(label="Edit", menu=editMenu)
editMenu.add_command(label="Copy", command=dummy)
editMenu.add_command(label="Paste", command=dummy)
editMenu.add_separator()
editMenu.add_command(label="Copyright", command=copyright)
viewMenu = Menu(menu, tearoff=0)
menu.add_cascade(label="View", menu=viewMenu)
viewMenu.add_command(label="Toolbar", command=dummy)
viewMenu.add_command(label="Status bar", command=dummy)
navigateMenu = Menu(menu, tearoff=0)
menu.add_cascade(label="Navigate", menu=navigateMenu)
navigateMenu.add_command(label="File", command=dummy)
windowMenu = Menu(menu, tearoff=0)
menu.add_cascade(label="Window", menu=windowMenu)
windowMenu.add_command(label="Font Colour", command=dummy)
windowMenu.add_command(label="Font Size", command=dummy)
helpMenu = Menu(menu, tearoff=0)
menu.add_cascade(label="Help", menu=helpMenu)
helpMenu.add_command(label="About", command=dummy)
mainloop()
What i am trying to achieve: when you click the open button button, the contents of the .txt file should be displayed in a similar fashion as the text you can type. I would also know how to get the 'save', 'save as' and 'new' buttons to work, but this is not my main question.
