I am writing a bullying-abuse hotline program for a class I am taking. I am trying to use a Tkinter stringvar inside a class.
I have used code by martineau (Tkinter: How to show pages with buttons on page?) as the base of my program, and that part of the code works well, but when I am making an Entry widget and tie it to the stringvar t, it gives me the error:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "main.py", line 190, in main = MainView(root) File "main.py", line 14, in init page = Page(container, controller=self) File "main.py", line 148, in init bulliedentry = Entry(self, textvariable = t) NameError: name 't' is not defined
This is my code:
from tkinter import *
class MainView(Frame):
def __init__(self, parent, *args, **kwargs):
super().__init__(parent, *args, **kwargs)
container = Frame(self)
container.pack(side='top', fill='both', expand=True)
# Create dictionary of page class instances.
self.pages = {}
for Page in (Home, Bullying, Abuse, Other):
page = Page(container, controller=self)
self.pages[Page.__name__] = page
page.place(in_=container, x=0, y=0, relwidth=1, relheight=1)
menubar = Menu(parent)

I want to have an entry tied the textvariable t that prints when I press one of the small buttons. Currently, I get an error at the very start, shown at the top.
