Simple python Tkinter questions about buttons.

Question

Can someone provide me with some example code. I am fairly fluent with python but can't figure this out. So i will be generating a list with say "x" elements from other code. I need Tkinter to display a "x" buttons that can be checked on or off. Then once the user has selected whichever ones they want, they will press GO and more code will execute on only the items in the list that are selected. So basically i just need to make something True or False (or 1 or 0) by using the checkbuttons in Tkinter. If someone can show me how to do this using Classes id love to see it. Thanks!!

Answer 1

import Tkinter as tk

def printVar():
    print 'var is', var.get()

root = tk.Tk()
var = tk.IntVar()
c = tk.Checkbutton(root, text='Check me', variable=var, command=printVar)
c.pack()
root.mainloop()

Take a look at Tkinter page at the python wiki.

Edit

import Tkinter as tk

def printOpts():
    for opt, val in zip(options, checkboxes):
        print opt + ': ' + str(bool(val.get()))

options = ['eggs', 'apples', 'pears']
checkboxes = []

root = tk.Tk()
for opt in options:
    v = tk.IntVar()
    checkboxes.append(v)
    c = tk.Checkbutton(root, text=opt, variable=v)
    c.pack()

btn = tk.Button(root, text='Print options', command=printOpts)
btn.pack()
root.mainloop()

Makes a nice toggle button

import Tkinter


class TkToggle(Tkinter.Tk):
    def __init__(self, parent):
        Tkinter.Tk.__init__(self, parent)
        self.parent = parent
        self.initialize()

    def initialize(self):
        global toggle
        toggle = 0

        self.Button = Tkinter.Label(self, text='X', relief='ridge')
        self.Button.pack(ipadx=15,ipady=15)
        self.Button.bind('<ButtonRelease-1>', self.Toggle)

    def Toggle (self, event):
        global toggle

        if toggle == 0:
            toggle = 1
            self.Button.configure(text = '')
            print 'A'

        else:
            toggle = 0
            self.Button.configure(text = 'X')
            print 'B'

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = TkToggle(None)
    app.mainloop()
