how can i show the two fields name "esperanto" and "english" in a listbox positioned under the entry widget? i want the two fields to be beside eachother like (abak/o abacus)
You need to do two things: 1) set the font of the listbox to be monospaced so that everything lines up 2) format a string with fixed length fields Then you just insert the strings into the list box as usual. There are no grid type components in standard Tkinter. There is one in Tix but it's fiendishly hard to work with and I don't recommend it. What is worth doing is using the Tix ScrolledListbox or ScrolledText widgets to hold the text because you get scroolling almost for nothing.
and i want to make them searchable via the entry widget like a dictionary app :)
Then you will need to write the search code yourself. extract the lines from the list box or text widget and check if your search matches. Keep track of the current line and when found highlight the line or field within the line as required. Its non trivial but not especially hard.
and is there any good tutorial on using SQLite with tkinter and how to desplay records on GUIs ?
No. There is no magic, Tkinter has no knowledge of SQLite (or any other database) and vice versa so there is nothing special to do. You just create strings using the SQL data and insert them into the GUI. Tkinter is a very basic, bare bones GUYI tool. That makes it easy to learn but you have to do a lot of the backend logic yourself. Other toolkits provide more smarts but it takes longer to learn them. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
