Control position of Tkinter common dialogs?
by python＠bdurham.com Dec. 9, 2016

Dec. 9, 2016

Python 2.7 under Windows: How can we control the position of Tkinter's common dialogs? Here's what we've discovered: * Certain common dialogs always open up relative to their parent window * Certain common dialogs always open up centered on the user's desktop * All common dialogs appear to ignore the optional parent= parameter Questions: * How can we force a dialog to open up relative to its parent window? * How can we force a dialog to open up centered on the user's desktop? Background: import tkColorChooser as colorchooser import tkFileDialog as filedialog import tkMessageBox as messagebox # always open up relative to parent windows fileOpen = filedialog.askopenfilename() fileOpens = filedialog.askopenfilenames() fileSaveAs = filedialog.asksaveasfilename() color = colorchooser.askcolor() # always open up centered on desktop folderOpen = filedialog.askdirectory() messagebox.askquestion() Malcolm

ttk.Notebook - how to bind to tab events (tab caption has focus or mouseover)
by python＠bdurham.com May 9, 2012

May 9, 2012

I'm using the ttk.Notebook widget. What object do I bind to capture events related to specific tabs? I would like to trap when a tab caption gets keyboard focus ('<FocusIn>') and when the mouse pointer is over a specific tab caption ('<Enter>'). I can trap mouse clicks on tabs (<Button-1>, <Button-3>), but I can't find a way to determine what tab a user clicked on in the case of a right click. Thank you, Malcolm

Interesting site, I like it. A different approach to writing tutorials. I did find it a bit hard to read the text on the pages, but I was using IE8 and my eyes aren't that good any more. Keep it up! Steven Oldner State of Louisiana

Re: [Tkinter-discuss] Tkinter-discuss Digest, Vol 86, Issue 7

George, I haven't try Python 3.1, I have Python 2.7, but in my case the only way in which I was able to use TCL/TK 8.5 things was when I compile manually Python on my computer. I run on OS X 10.6.7 as well. The way to do that is, you have to download the source file, than once you un-compress it, go to its folder and type: $ ./configure --enable-universalsdk --enable-framework $ make $ make frameworkinstall This should do it for you. With these 3 lines you will compile and install Python, and during the installation Python will configure the latest TCL/TK you have install in your Framework folder.

Re: [Tkinter-discuss] Treeview with a single column header
by Emiliano Gavilán April 6, 2011

April 6, 2011

... > The problem is that the title puts me in a second column and the data in > the first. The 'text' option of the insert method is for the tree column. To insert values on the other columns use the 'values' option, or the set method after the item is inserted. You can also control whether the tree column is shown or not with the 'show' option. --CODE------------------ import Tkinter import ttk master = Tkinter.Tk() # add show=['headings'] to hide the tree column tabla = ttk.Treeview(master, columns=['widgets']) tabla.heading('widgets', text='Item') tabla.pack() item = tabla.insert('', 0, text='In the tree', values=['date1']) # values can be left out and instead use # tabla.set(item, 'widgets', 'date1') master.mainloop() --CODE------------------ Regards Emiliano

Treeview with a single column header
by craf April 5, 2011

April 5, 2011

I'm testing the treeview widget, and I want to display data in a single column with a header. My code to do this is: --CODE--------------- import Tkinter import ttk master = Tkinter.Tk() tabla = ttk.Treeview(master, columns=('widgets')) tabla.heading('widgets', text='Item') tabla.pack() tabla.insert('',0,'widgets', text="date1") master.mainloop() ------------------------ The problem is that the title puts me in a second column and the data in the first. Can be done? Regards. Cristian Abarzúa
