Hi I am very very new at it. I have a code in python for a round robin tournament. I need to connect it to thinker. can you help me? I will first need to write the names of plsyers which will then give me (lenplayers) . then I can run the python code.

Dude im from México and i always see your videos when i have a question with tkinter, and always you save my life with my homeworks, thanks and good luck.

[@Codemycom]

Glad to hear it!

[@albertholman7435]

Thanks for this video, it solved a problem for me (see fun text), Just for fun: if you change "my_entry = Entry(root)" to "my_entry = Entry(root, text='Test')" then typing in one box will fill all the other boxes at the same time :)

hi, i know maybe it's a bit late for this comment, anyway, i was doing a job with python and i recreated more or less the same situation as you, with only the labels that through buttons change their text, but all the buttons affect only one label and I wanted to ask you how can I fix?

Amazing video! Is there any way to select and update the treeview dynamically with a for loop?

[@fighting6320]

@@Codemycom thanks for your fast reply. :) I watched your video #121 of this playlist but there for selecting and updating the treeview data you just called the entry fields one by one. How could this be done by loop? :) Would be so nice to receive an answer. Great job!

@@fighting6320 I mean, just use a loop however you want...if you know how to update treeview for one thing, you know how to update it using a loop...just use the loop in the normal way you use any loop...

Thank you very much for this video. If I my_entry.grid_remove() at the end and I want to recall the my_entry again, how can I do that? (my_entry.grid() is not working) Thank you so far for this video i liked it very much!

[@brianhays3704]

What a helpful video! Thank you! I have one question about the loops though. I understand the x and y loops create the rows and columns of boxes. But I'm confused about append... why does the "append" work all the time? In my mind it would ONLY append when creating the boxes. This is bothering me a bit. Does the append function basically tell the computer to "append all the time no matter what"? Thanks!

[@danzafut]

Hi Brian! So here's the best way that I can explain it. Originally, you have an empty list called my_entries. This list will eventually contain a list of Entry widgets after the for loops run. During the for loop, an Entry widget is created, and then added to the my_entries list via the .append() method. Once the for loop has completed and each widget has been displayed on the screen via the .grid() method, you can enter values into the widgets. When you click my_button, the something() function runs. Using the .get() method, you are able to display each value that was in the Entry widgets in my_label (a really big label). You are correct in thinking that the .append() method only appends the list when creating the widgets. The list is just a list of Entry widgets and an easy way to reference each using their index. Hopefully this helps!

[@nguyenvantrieu9963]

Thanks a billion for this video. It's so helpful.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@nivp99]

Sort of what I wanted but not quite. I want 4 entry boxes on a row with a checkbutton on the row that enables/disables the entry boxes, which I've successfully done for a single row, but failed to create a loop method to replicate the dozen or so rows of the same that I want. My main stumbling block is the variable that enables only its associated row. A final 'ADD' button will get all the data from all ENABLED entry boxes, ignoring disabled ones, into a global list, along with a unique header ID (Other frames will have other 'ADD' buttons to add to the global list, which will later be processed to make a final output file.

When I ask the user to input the number of entry boxes he wants in my little program. The number of entry boxes only increases but doesn't reduce. For example, when the user inputs 5, 5 entry boxes are created but when the user then inputs 3, 5 entry boxes still appear on the window instead of 3. But when the user inputs 7, then 7 entry boxes would now be created. I really need help on this.

Hi, Nice video as always. My case is a bit different. I would like to create a lap tracker calculator. One label: Enter lap #{lap_number}. Four buttons: Next lap, Calculate, Reset, Quit. Every time I click Next Lap button, the Label updates with a new lap number, the entry field cleans and the lap list appends the value inputted (the order here may be different. Calculate, would give me in a text box the best, worst and average lap time. Reset button would clean the textbox and the lap time list. In this case I am having a bit of trouble with how deal with the first part (the Next button). Any help would be appretiated. Cheers

Sir, Can u tell me if i make a entry box by some name lets say ' e ' then if i write print(e) then its returning me .!entry And when i create a button to print print(e.get()) its returnin me nothing even i write something on entry box. In this video you used my_entries as a list. But why? What its returning in the list? Actually i am confused what entrybox is returning. Can you help me?

[@Codemycom]

e.get() should return something if there's something there. You must have had a typo or error in your code. With print(), it only prints with tkinter after you close your program.

Great video! I`m wandering if you have a solution for the problem: If I`m copying the data from a excel file (as example 2x rows and 2x columns, or more) and paste them in a tkinter table interface, everything will be pasted in a single entry. The excel cells will not be spread in tkinter entries (ex: excel A1, A2, B1, B2 are going in the same entry and the point is to make them go in different entries: A1 cell data to be paste in mouse selected row * col; A2 cell data to be paste in mouse selected row + 1 * col + 1; B1 on row + 2 * col + 1 and B2 on row + 2 * col + 2 etc.).
