[@mthorne074]

The way she explains the code and what it is used for as she goes along is a lesson other youtubers could learn.

[@blendid242]

Thank you for this tutorial. Your explanations are very clear. I can follow along without getting lost. Now I understand better how to build Python code with tkinter. Thank you, Hala!

[@gunloco5207]

These tutorials are great for learning the Tkinter library I hope everyone is jumping back and forth between the video, their code and the docs to see the full capabilities of Tk

[@shallanrambaran7090]

After 2 mins of how she tackled the lesson I saved the video because I can tell I'm not going to be wasting my time here. Will try her tutorial in a few days (I will be more free then). I love how Hala starts the video; no nonsense and straight to the point.

[@billpowell5931]

Excellent presentation about developing a fairly simple app to interface with Excel. Thank you for sharing.

[@juancharlie777]

I've watched three of your videos now. Thank you and well done.

[@johncheung4905]

Very well explained. Thank you!

[@marciojunior3021]

Hala, thanks for the great video. You are a very good teacher. Well explained 👏🏻👏🏻

[@Deepakkumar-iu2ve]

What a great explanation! Thank you so much❤.

[@carneica]

Very well structured tutorial! No BS, direct to the point! I'm new at Python but already made some progs using ttk so, knew most of the things you explained! Nevertheless, you gave me a new insight on how to structure the widgets around the root>frame>cols structure/hierarchy... I was making it to complex... but you don't! ;) Keep on doing great stuff like this! Congrats!

[@bithepower9081]

[@kanurimani8536]

I love you so much ❤

[@mohittyagi1596]

nice

[@Ikxi]

god that tkinter ui looks so much better than mine gonna need to figure out how to do that

[@kamndaliraphiri7741]

Just looking at the comments I subscribed and shared the video for future use

[@LastbornAmw1]

Is their a way to make it auto update every few mins? I have made this into a .exe file from watching your video about using pyinstaller. I have modified it to where I can use it at my work because I uploaded it to our network and others can just open it from a shared network and leave it open but it will not update unless they close out the application and reopen it. But it does work with multiple users having the GUI open but no refresh. I am the only one with user rights to edit the excel spreadsheet, so that is a good thing if I need to delete something. I appreciate all your work you do in these videos they help a lot for a beginner like myself.

[@omaral-jobory4224]

great video Hala, I am working on multi window app for inventory system depend on locations and date it would be so helpful if you make a tutorial about that many thanks

[@rabieabed3360]

hy, where are you, why you don't complete your python series, your job is perfect, great explanation , I hope you continue these series thank you so match

[@mikekhattab8729]

Firstly, thank you for your tutorails. I would like to ask what font do you use?

[@safe_side874]

hello Hala ,thanks a lot for the superb explanation , i found that when i click on mode button many times the tree frame expands and i solved this issue like this : in the four treeview columns add this code : stretch=False ....and if you like to make the heading and data be in the center add this code with previous code like this: anchor='center' ,, 🙂👍

[@pepper9372]

I had the same issue, I solved it with cols=("Name","Age","Subscription","Employment") treeview=ttk.Treeview(treeFrame,show="headings", yscrollcommand=treeScroll.set,columns=cols,height=13) treeview.column("Name", width=100, anchor='w', minwidth=100, stretch=tk.NO) treeview.column("Age", width=50, anchor="center", minwidth=50, stretch=tk.NO) treeview.column("Subscription", width=100, anchor="w", minwidth=100, stretch=tk.NO) treeview.column("Employment", width=100, anchor="w", minwidth=100, stretch=tk.NO) for col in cols: treeview.heading(col,text=col,anchor='center') treeview.pack() treeScroll.config(command=treeview.yview) I hope had helping you

[@aminegatou4492]

That is great, what I need , is the possibility to update a row( or multiple rows) directly from the python app and with a button update the Excel file. Is this even possible?

[@raymundofelipeolvera5594]

Great Video and project, I am working currently in something similar but my DB is quite big so I ma using parquet file, does parquet will work like excel worked in this project?

[@matiascavalcante4698]

Great video! Can you in the future make a video about classes in Python?

[@codefirstwithhala]

Hi Matias, sure thing :) Coming soon!

[@richardboreiko]

I was wondering how to change the value in the GUI from Employed to Unemployed as the checkbox is toggled. Do you have a video about that?

[@vasbkamarxil1260]

fire

[@aurainaejaz2080]

what if i have columns in my excel sheet which needs calculations. For instance, I have a dataset and it has a feature called fuel cost which has to be calculated by taking the product of litres and rate per litre. How do i incorporate this feature of calculating the value and then also updating it in the excel sheet in this code?

[@bechirzouaoui5821]

Can you do a vidéo about filtering those data ? Or maybe loading theme from oracle database pliz

[@Eirstream]

@Code First with Hala, nice video, please say: how to edit and values at the treeview??? thank you

[@ianhall2948]

Would you be able to put in a working search bar? If so, how? Also instead of making the the columns pre-made how would you make it to change depending on what excel spreadsheet is uploaded? I'm trying to make a GUI like this that someone can just insert or import their excel file and the Treeview would just use whatever column names were used in the spreadsheet.

[@kapibara2440]

Cool video, learned a lot from it ❤❤❤

[@PANDURANG99]

What about long text in tkinter, want to wrap it but don't have adjustable row height

[@eh1273]

How did you import the excel file like what appears in the left side bar in Pycharm?

[@kuroshnazari6053]

Thank you so much for this video. I have a problem with coding this, when I use insert it doesn't work as a placeholder, it literally adds the text to the entry. Any suggestions? Please help me 🙏🏻♥️

[@WinnerSingh]

Nice project Can you make a web app for food order system in python

[@nicolamelacca9321]

Great job 👏👏, I tried to use you code to learn some python features but I got an error, can you help me to do solve it

[@abderrahimfouad2133]

Hi hala how we can make entry field mandatory to enter some text?

[@darshang7190]

how to dynamically resize the rows based on the lines each excel row?

[@planetearth2363]

That's GREAT!. but I found one bug on your code. when I toggle the checkbox to change the theme the treeview will expand. I tried to fix it using row and column configure but I can't. how can I fix it?

[@gabort.6838]

Hy! I downloaded the code and when I switch between dark and light mode the window always gets wider. Why is this?

[@adityajambekar4278]

I have an excel file with highlighted cells can I view it on tkinter gui

[@HeavyTricks]

Please do this in custom tkinter library. Thank you.

[@asfandiyar5829]

If you are getting the error: root.tk.call("source", "forest-light.tcl") _tkinter.TclError: no files matched glob pattern "*.png" Then please make sure that you have also imported the folder forest-dark and forest-light from the original rest-ttk-theme repo. Didn't realise Hala version did not have those files. So make sure that the folders are in the same directory as the place where you have cloned Hala's repo.

[@kumaresansp.]

Getting the same error when the folder is in the same directory, Any suggestions?

[@cdimxl]
