I have a problem with my code. I am unable to pass a variable to another class once a submit button is pressed in my tkinter frame.
I have followed the advice from a post already (How to access variables from different classes in tkinter?), which has helped but I still have issues.
From where to where I need these variables is commented on the code below:
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import StringVar
LARGE_FONT = ("Verdana", 12)
class Club(tk.Tk):
def get_page(self, page_class):
return self.frames[page_class]
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
tk.Tk.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
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.shared_data = {
"username": tk.StringVar(),
"password": tk.StringVar(),
}
self.frames = {}
for F in (Terminal, newUser, newUserSubmitButton, delUser):
frame = F(container, self)
self.frames[F] = frame
frame.grid(row=0, column=0, sticky="nsew")
self.show_frame(Terminal)
def show_frame(self, cont):
frame = self.frames[cont]
frame.tkraise()
class Terminal(tk.Frame):
def __init__(self, parent, controller):
tk.Frame.__init__(self, parent)
label = tk.Label(self, text="Welcome to the club terminal. Click the options below", font=LARGE_FONT)
label.grid(columnspan=3)
button = tk.Button(self, text="Visit new User",
command=lambda: controller.show_frame(newUser))
button.grid(row=1, column=0)
button2 = tk.Button(self, text="Visit del User",
command=lambda: controller.show_frame(delUser))
button2.grid(row=1, column=1)
class newUser(tk.Frame):
def __init__(self, parent, controller):
def submitButton():
username = self.controller.shared_data["username"].get()
print(username)
controller.show_frame(newUserSubmitButton)
##username variable from here to...
tk.Frame.__init__(self, parent)
welcomelabel = tk.Label(self, text="Add New User/s", font=LARGE_FONT)
welcomelabel.grid(columnspan=2, sticky="ew")
userNameLabel = tk.Label(self, text="Username")
userNameLabel.grid(row=1, column=0, sticky="e")
userNameEntry = tk.Entry(self, textvariable=self.controller.shared_data["username"])
userNameEntry.grid(row=1, column=1)
userMemTypeLabel = tk.Label(self, text="Membership Type")
userMemTypeLabel.grid(row=2, column=0, sticky="e")
variable = StringVar(self)
variable.set("Full")
userMemTypeMenu = tk.OptionMenu(self, variable, "Full", "Half")
userMemTypeMenu.grid(row=2, column=1)
userMemYearsLabel = tk.Label(self, text="Years that member is in the club")
userMemYearsLabel.grid(row=3, column=0, sticky="e")
userMemYearsEntry = tk.Entry(self)
userMemYearsEntry.grid(row=3, column=1)
self.controller = controller
newusersubmitbutton = tk.Button(self, text="submit", command=submitButton)
newusersubmitbutton.grid(columnspan=2)
class newUserSubmitButton(tk.Frame):
def __init__(self, parent, controller):
tk.Frame.__init__(self, parent)
self.controller = controller
##username variable goes here
page1 = self.controller.get_page(newUser.submitButton)
page1.username.set("Hello, world")
print(page1)
class delUser(tk.Frame):
def __init__(self, parent, controller):
tk.Frame.__init__(self, parent)
label = tk.Label(self, text="del User!!!", font=LARGE_FONT)
label.pack(pady=10, padx=10)
button1 = tk.Button(self, text="Back to Home",
command=lambda: controller.show_frame(Terminal))
button1.pack()
button2 = tk.Button(self, text="new User",
command=lambda: controller.show_frame(newUser))
button2.pack()
app = Club()
app.title("Club Terminal")
app.iconbitmap("table.ico")
app.mainloop()
Whenever I run this code, I get an AttributeError: 'newUser' object has no attribute 'controller'.
Any help is greatly appreciated, I'll be more than happy to try any ideas out.
With regards.
