I have developed the following gui using grid in tkinter. I know there are other ways but grid is kind of more intuitive for me, consider I am a newbie with it. Here is the code
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk
def make_form(row_c, col_c, list_names, type_input):
# variable definition
col_range = 2
value = [] # metti lunghezza list names!
for ind, key in enumerate(list_names):
row_c += ind
lab = ttk.Label(root, text=key)
lab.grid(column=col_c, row=row_c, sticky=tk.W, padx=5, pady=5)
if type_input == 'in':
value = ttk.Entry(root)
value.grid(column=col_c + col_range, row=row_c, sticky=tk.E, padx=5, pady=5)
value = value.get()
elif type_input == 'out':
value = ttk.Label(root, text='test_value')
value.grid(column=col_c + col_range, row=row_c, sticky=tk.E, padx=5, pady=5)
else:
pass # gestire eventuali messaggi di errore
return row_c, col_c + col_range, value
def make_buttons(row_button, col_button, label):
var_button = ttk.Button(root, text=label)
var_button.grid(column=col_button, row=row_button, sticky=tk.W, padx=5, pady=5)
if __name__ == "__main__":
root = tk.Tk()
# root.geometry("240x100")
root.title('Titolo')
root.resizable(1, 1)
# configure the grid
root.columnconfigure(0, weight=1)
root.columnconfigure(1, weight=1)
root.columnconfigure(2, weight=1)
root.columnconfigure(3, weight=1)
# gui template
c_title = 0 # columnspan=4
c_input_1 = 0 # columnspan=2
c_input_2 = 3 # columnspan 2
c_labels_1 = 2 #
c_labels_2 = 4
c_file_path = 0
c_button_file = 4
r = 0
label = ttk.Label(root, text='Name window', borderwidth=2, relief="groove")
label.grid(row=r, column=c_title, columnspan=2, sticky=tk.S, padx=5, pady=5)
r = 1
label = ttk.Label(root, text='Input 1', borderwidth=2, relief="groove")
label.grid(row=r, column=c_input_1, columnspan=2, sticky=tk.S, padx=5, pady=5)
label = ttk.Label(root, text='Input 2', borderwidth=2, relief="groove")
label.grid(row=r, column=c_input_2, columnspan=2, sticky=tk.S, padx=5, pady=5)
# input section
r = 2
list_labels = ['var_1', 'var_2', 'var_3', 'var_4', 'var_5']
[row_1, col_1, values_1] = make_form(r, 0, list_labels, 'in')
list_labels = ['var_1', 'var_2', 'var3', 'var_4', 'var_5', 'var_6', 'var_7']
[row_2, col_2, values_2] = make_form(r, col_1 + 1, list_labels, 'in')
# input file section
c = 0
label = ttk.Label(root, text='Name window', borderwidth=2, relief="groove")
label.grid(row=row_2 + 1, column=c, columnspan=3, sticky=tk.N, padx=5, pady=5)
c = 4
var = ttk.Entry(root)
var.grid(row=row_2 + 2, column=4, columnspan=1, sticky=tk.W, padx=5, pady=5)
var = var.get()
B = tk.Button(root, text="Hello")
B.grid(row=row_2 + 2, column=4, sticky=tk.E, padx=5, pady=5)
r = row_2 + 3
label = ttk.Label(root, text='output 1', borderwidth=2, relief="groove")
label.grid(row=r, column=2, columnspan=2, sticky=tk.S, padx=5, pady=5)
label = ttk.Label(root, text='output 2', borderwidth=2, relief="groove")
label.grid(row=r, column=4, columnspan=2, sticky=tk.S, padx=5, pady=5)
# display output values
# input section
list_labels = ['var_1', 'var_2', 'var_3', 'var_4', 'var_5']
[row_1, col_1, values_1] = make_form(r + 1, 0, list_labels, 'out')
list_labels = ['var_1', 'var_2', 'var3', 'var_4', 'var_5', 'var_6', 'var_7']
[row_2, col_2, values_2] = make_form(r + 1, col_1 + 1, list_labels, 'out')
root.mainloop()
I found a valuable information here tkinter gui layout using frames and grid, but I am still struggling with my layout. I also have the following questions: -why does the "Name window" not span through the whole gui? can i do it?
