[Tutor] Multiple tabs using tkinter

[Pooja Bhalode]

Hi Alan and Zackary,

Thank you so much for your inputs. I really appreciate any help on these
things.

Alan,

you mentioned that there are multiple toolkits which can be used instead of
tkinter. I was also looking into wxpython for building a explorer bar.
Mainly, I have to build a software entirely using python and thus, needed
all these things put in place. I have been exploring things on how to do
small bits of these using Tkinter. Would you suggest me to use some other
toolkit instead of tkinter or maybe combine and use whichever whenever
needed?

I was just going through your website and looking at the tutorials, wanted
to thank you. I think those would be really really helpful.

Zackary,

I tried using ttk for the multiple tabs feature and that worked out really
nicely.
Thank you once again.
I would also look into the ttk.Combobox package. Thank you

Yours truly,
Pooja
