This is absolutely amazing tutorial! I started binge watching your channel, you’ve uploaded so much great stuff.

[@thedebapriyakar]

I've been binging several of your tkinter videos since I found your channel this morning. Insanely good content, thank you SO MUCH for your efforts.

[@bentsionben-david2769]

Wow you are genious.. i searched this more than half a year 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@alananalyst7795]

Hey Hala, I just wanted to thank you for this kind of videos, I am really enjoying them

[@leekumkitv3826]

BROTHER, YOU ARE THE BEST!!! You oooh really helped me!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

[@samfritkin]

Amazing, thanks a ton! Your videos are incredibly helpful. For anyone that's interested, I found a way to edit the tree: def delete_item(): selected_item = tree.selection()[0] tree.delete(selected_item) Put this command in for a delete button you create and you should be able to select items from the tree and delete them without having to reset your entire invoice.

[@mohdsarim4671]

def Remove_items(): for i in table.selection(): id = i idx = table.index(id) table.delete(id) del invoice_list[idx] i made somethig like this to delete multiple items and also fron the invoice_list too

[@pingmetal]

Thank you for the great tutorial. By the way, just note that when you used the module datetime and made it add time to the filename, the last digits were not just seconds. The first digits indicated the hours however using the 24-hour clock format, so as it was 8 PM on your PC, that became the number 20.

[@JorgeEscobarMX]

I actually didn't knew treeview was supposed to be used as a table render widget. I figure it was for showing up file system stuff like files and directories. Thanks for this tkinter tutorial

You explained it well. Can you do a video how to save data in to excel file to a format , I created a recipe saving app but I cannot figure out how to save the recipe in to a format. My current version it just saves in to pdf without template , as a chef I am very happy that I was able to created the gui app to that far 😂

[@bentsionben-david2769]

Hi hala its realy amazing this video.. can you please add to it CRUD method like create, search, update, save, delete and print on hard copy? Pleasee, i tried for months and i failed, i think thousands of people want and need it.. please consider it.. thanks 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@thomashart5081]

Great tutorial. Can you make a video on how to create also a record of the invoices as well as means to conclude which have been payed or not along with the saved invoice. Maybe a database SQLite and have the means to switch between displayed pages depending on which is wanted for viewing at the time.

[@logunscott]

Amazing tutorail Thank you. please is there a way to edit or delete an item in the list?

[@lstephen]

Do you think I can use python to pull data from Google docs once created and then put them into Google sheets of invoice template? and then have it covert to pdf and email to be send? Is this automation process possible?

[@user-uy1ev2oe7v]

Thank you so much for this helpful video, but I have a question as I have tried so much to show for example this word file in the frame in Tkinter, could you please help me with that?

[@surendarsingh6228]

[@user-ll7tz6kh4d]

I want to save the generated invoice in pdf form ,What should I do for that?

[@kangdesain3922]

hi great tutorial, how to make all of this into exe format?

[@KeKuHauPiOx]

Awesome tutorial! Is there a way to put a business logo on this?

[@vdeoracle]

Yes. You can customize the docx template to suit your need.

[@dipak_chandra]

Can you make one more video this. How to create exe file

[@BelalAhamdNasery]

Hi Hala can make Django videos 🙏🏻

[@TheRealWattsie]

Minor point, your Total should be the SubTotal plus the tax percentage of SubTotal... ie SubTotal $33.5, Tax 10% therefore: Total === $36.85 not $30.12... Unless you were thinking a discount, however a discount should be applied per item not just on total invoice. Cheers.

[@kelechikk-xr7xh]

Hi this video tutorial is not bright
