Hey,
I'm pretty new to programming. Been trying to learn using Python.
The code I'm struggling with is for my GUI.
I'm am having trouble getting this to display the way I want with the
grid manager. Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong? I hope you
can tell what look I'm trying to achieve from the code as its hard to
explain.
I think my main questions are:
1. How can I get the Window to be sized the way I want it?
2. How can I get the Scrollbars to fill the side of the text box
instead of being small? (like .pack(fill= tk.Y)
######Code#######
#file/path finder
#indentation value 4
import os,glob
import Tkinter as tk
# Class to create the Application and UI
class Theapp:
def __init__(self):
# Create GUI parts. Will allign later with grid
self.top = tk.Tk()
self.mainWindow = tk.Frame(self.top, width=700, height=400)
self.labAll = tk.Label(self.mainWindow, text="All Files/
Folders:")
self.labVi = tk.Label(self.mainWindow, text="Violating Files/
Folders:")
#Create a sub-frame containing textbox and scrollbar for All
files scanned display
self.allTxtf = tk.Frame(self.mainWindow, width=699,
height=164)
self.scrlr1 = tk.Scrollbar(self.allTxtf)
self.txtBoxall = tk.Text(self.allTxtf, wrap=tk.CHAR,
yscrollcommand=self.scrlr1.set)
self.scrlr1.config(command = self.txtBoxall.yview)
#Create another sub-frame containing textbox and scrollbar for
the Violating files display
self.viTxtf = tk.Frame(self.mainWindow, width=699, height=164)
self.scrlr2 = tk.Scrollbar(self.viTxtf)
self. txtBoxvi = tk.Text(self.viTxtf, wrap=tk.CHAR,
yscrollcommand=self.scrlr2.set)
self.scrlr2.config(command = self.txtBoxvi.yview)
#Create another sub-frame to contain the controls
self.ctrlFrame = tk.Frame(self.mainWindow, width=699,
height=72)
self.labDir = tk.Label(self.ctrlFrame, text="Dir:")
self.entDir = tk.Entry(self.ctrlFrame)
self.labChar = tk.Label(self.ctrlFrame, text="Char. Limit:")
self.entChar = tk.Entry(self.ctrlFrame)
self.btFind = tk.Button(self.ctrlFrame, text="Scan", command =
self.fillboxes)
self.btExit = tk.Button(self.ctrlFrame, text="Exit", command =
self.quitEvent)
#Use tkinter's grid geometry manager to allign and display the
GUI
self.mainWindow.grid()
#Frist allign the 3 main frames
self.labAll.grid(row=0)
self.allTxtf.grid(row=1)
self.labVi.grid(row=2)
self.viTxtf.grid(row=3)
self.ctrlFrame.grid(row=4)
#Now allign the content of allTxtf
self.txtBoxall.grid(row=0, column=0)
self.scrlr1.grid(row=0, column=1)
#Now allign the content for viTxtf
self.txtBoxvi.grid(row=0, column=0)
self.scrlr2.grid(row=0, column=1)
#Now allign the content for ctrlFrame
self.labDir.grid(row=0, column=0, sticky=tk.E)
self.entDir.grid(row=0, column=1)
self.labChar.grid(row=0, column=2, sticky=tk.E)
self.entChar.grid(row=0, column=3)
self.btFind.grid(row=0, column=4)
self.btExit.grid(row=0,column=5)
def findallfiles(self, base):
pass
def fillboxes(self):
pass
def quitEvent(self):
raise SystemExit
app = Theapp()
app.mainWindow.mainloop()
######End Code#######
I have only posted the code relevant to the GUI.
TIA
Adam
