I'm following a Sentdex tutorial, found here, specifically this part about creating a GUI in Python. However the tutorial is in python 3 and I'm using 2.7.
Importing Tkinter
is fine, however when I come to importing ttk
and then inheriting it into the class, a problem arises. In python 2.7 ttk
is a separate module, which means is not in the Tkinter
module.
import Tkinter as tk
import ttk
LARGE_FONT= ("Verdana", 12)
class SeaOfBTCApp(tk.Tk):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
tk.Tk.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
tk.Tk.wm_title(self, "Seal of BTC")
container = tk.Frame(self)
container.pack(side="top", fill="both", expand = True)
container.grid_rowconfigure(0, weight=1)
container.grid_columnconfigure(0, weight=1)
self.frames = {}
for F in (StartPage, PageOne, PageTwo):
frame = F(container, self)
self.frames[F] = frame
frame.grid(row=0, column=0, sticky="nsew")
self.show_frame(StartPage)
def show_frame(self, cont):
frame = self.frames[cont]
frame.tkraise()
The problem appears to be when the classes inherit Tk
, when I do:
button = ttk.Button(self, text="Visit Page 1",
command=lambda: controller.show_frame(PageOne))
It doesn't use ttk
, the buttons still look the same (like when it was tk.Button
). How can I make the buttons look like the ttk buttons.
Full code:
import Tkinter as tk
from ttk import *
LARGE_FONT= ("Verdana", 12)
class SeaOfBTC(tk.Tk):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
tk.Tk.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
tk.Tk.wm_title(self, "Sea of BTC")
container = tk.Frame(self)
container.pack(side="top", fill="both", expand = True)
container.grid_rowconfigure(0, weight=1)
container.grid_columnconfigure(0, weight=1)
self.frames = {}
for F in (StartPage, PageOne, PageTwo):
frame = F(container, self)
self.frames[F] = frame
frame.grid(row=0, column=0, sticky="nsew")
self.show_frame(StartPage)
def show_frame(self, cont):
frame = self.frames[cont]
frame.tkraise()
class StartPage(tk.Frame):
def __init__(self, parent, controller):
tk.Frame.__init__(self,parent)
label = tk.Label(self, text="Start Page", font=LARGE_FONT)
label.pack(pady=10,padx=10)
button = ttk.Button(self, text="Visit Page 1",
command=lambda: controller.show_frame(PageOne))
button.pack()
button2 = ttk.Button(self, text="Visit Page 2",
command=lambda: controller.show_frame(PageTwo))
button2.pack()
class PageOne(tk.Frame):
def __init__(self, parent, controller):
tk.Frame.__init__(self, parent)
label = tk.Label(self, text="Page One!!!", font=LARGE_FONT)
label.pack(pady=10,padx=10)
button1 = ttk.Button(self, text="Back to Home",
command=lambda: controller.show_frame(StartPage))
button1.pack()
button2 = ttk.Button(self, text="Page Two",
command=lambda: controller.show_frame(PageTwo))
button2.pack()
class PageTwo(tk.Frame):
def __init__(self, parent, controller):
tk.Frame.__init__(self, parent)
label = tk.Label(self, text="Page Two!!!", font=LARGE_FONT)
label.pack(pady=10,padx=10)
button1 = ttk.Button(self, text="Back to Home",
command=lambda: controller.show_frame(StartPage))
button1.pack()
button2 = ttk.Button(self, text="Page One",
command=lambda: controller.show_frame(PageOne))
button2.pack()
app = SeaOfBTC()
app.mainloop()
