I've created a command where it reads the elements of a text file, and for each element in that text file it creates a button.
for element in myfile:
button=Button(root, text="hi").pack()
i want to assign to each button a specific value (like if i press one specific button something will appear), but im getting the same command for each button... how can i do that?
I'm not sure what you don't understand in the linked answer. Here are two working examples to experiment with.
import tkinter as tk
root = tk.Tk()
label = tk.Label( root, text = ' Nothing Clicked Yet ')
def button_cmd( obj ):
label.config( text = obj.cget("text" ) + " clicked." )
for ix, caption in enumerate([ 'Button A', 'Button B', 'Button C' ]):
button = tk.Button( root, text = caption ) # Create the button object
button.config( command = lambda obj = button: button_cmd( obj ) )
# Configure the command option. This must be done after the button is
# created or button will be the previous button.
button.pack()
label.pack()
root.mainloop()
An alternative way of creating the closure without using lambda.
root = tk.Tk()
label = tk.Label( root, text = ' Nothing Clicked Yet ')
def make_button_cmd( obj ):
# This returns a function bound to the obj
def func():
label.config( text = obj.cget("text" ) + " clicked." )
return func
for ix, caption in enumerate([ 'Button A', 'Button B', 'Button C' ]):
button = tk.Button( root, text = caption ) # Create the button object
button.config( command = make_button_cmd( button ) )
# Configure the command option. This must be done after the button is
# created or button will be the previous button.
button.pack()
label.pack()
root.mainloop()
