@ANONYMOUS Sure, use the .set() function with whatever value you want. .set(20) etc

[@TheRevan5576]

10:00 You can fix this problem easily by binding your function to take place after you release the mouse, place the code before you call .pack() horizontal.bind("", lambda var=event: slide(var))

[@Codemycom]

Of course, there's always many ways to do a thing

[@sunchitlakhanpal]

The best Tkinter tutorials out there, Great Job ! :D

[@Codemycom]

Thanks man!

[@walternyc]

I put together a simulation in tkinter. Your GUI tutorials have been extremely useful. Thanks!

[@Codemycom]

Glad you liked them!

[@jscherer26]

These are great. My first time with GUI. Thank you for making them. horizontal.pack(anchor=W) will solve your slider issue. It's centered, so as your moving it, it's recentering. If it stays to the left its fine.

[@dylancampbell6433]

Yes, also if you are a fan of the side option you could use that as well. Example: vertical.pack(side=RIGHT, fill=Y) horizontal.pack(side=BOTTOM, fill=X) fill makes the slider expand with the window.... you know.... for style points 😎

[@Abdulkadir-vb3vj]

9:58 the reason for resizing weirdness is that there is keydown and keyup difference. You need to use a key up(key release). So, delete command area in horizontal and add another line under it horizontal.bind("", get_value)

[@MonkeyDLuffy-ld5iy]

You need a "_" and the end of the " from_" parameter because the is a buildin keyword from in python like "from tkinter import *"

[@Codemycom]

yeah

[@ninjatribble7961]

Smashing through this playlist. Great stuff. Looking forward to the database vids.

[@Codemycom]

fun!

[@devjeetmandal1472]

At 2:00, 'from_' is used because 'from' is a keyword in Python, it's like to differentiate between keyword and the slider variable.

[@Codemycom]

yep

[@AyanKhan-dc3eu]

It's amazing sir learning bunch of cool stuff during quarantine

Excellent series! I'm building a GUI for a RPi security camera with stepper motors controlling X/Y position, zoom, focus, and aperture. Your previous tutorials showed me how to input x and y values into text boxes, then use a button to send those +/- step values to the steppers. Great! Now, I'm ready to add some x/y preset buttons with 10 stored values, pulled from a csv file. Awesome! These sliders should allow me to also control the zoom, focus and aperture steppers. Almost home! Q: Is there a way to display the camera's live image as a background, with a hot spot to show/hide the GUI controls? That would be the cherry on the cake.🥳 Thanks for posting tutorials that make these things happen.🙏

[@Codemycom]

I'm sure there is, but not knowing anything about that camera, I couldn't guess how..

[@TheOleHermit]

@@Codemycom Thanks for the quick reply. It's a simple RPi USB camera. Just googled it and found the following article, which looks promising. I'm not so sure about a hotspot for hide/show GUI. But, where there's a will, there's usually a way. Might need to simply switch between windows, tabs, or something. 😎 solarianprogrammer.com/2018/04/21/python-opencv-show-video-tkinter-window/

[@kocorech]

is possible to change the way slider looks? other than just changing the color or size?

[@Codemycom]

not this slider

[@kocorech]

@@Codemycom so in tkinter is there any other slider types? I am asking because i am trying to build a music player with it and this one just looks horrible. I am trying to decide based on that if i should go with pyqt5 instead.

[@Codemycom]

@@kocorech ttk has a scale widget that might be a little better.. we've used ttk comboboxes but I haven't talked about scale yet

[@Blubberland]

1:56 because it's a python keyword. That's very essential for a course on a language and something you could've and should've corrected since april '19 €: I commented before reading the other comments. After reading the reaction Devjeet Mandal I felt even more, that this should be said.

[@keerthivaasannandakumar9974]

We have to add an underscore after from i.e. from_ because from is a pre-defined function

[@barackuse]

Why do you need the "orient =horizontal," and does horizontal need to be all in caps? I noticed that this still was not done on the vertical slide.

[@Codemycom]

really? Because that's how you orient the slider horizontally... come on man.

[@darshanbothra2673]

suggestion: using grid with horizontal and vertical will actually remove the lag thing..

[@SatishKumar-mn6bi]

I am facing problem to complete my project for multiply table in gui in which we take int input from user. Further we take int input for both range and display results. All to be on gui, we will take 3 input and then results display

[@MrGerrardo681]

very cool video, i was wondering how you could connect the number you get from the slider in the GUI, into a database field. for instance shirt number.

[@Codemycom]

The same way you connect any variable to a database field

[@djilytech385]

@@Codemycom you can do var1 = horizontal_slider.get() var2 = vertical_slider.get() Then when you do INSERT, include var1 and var2 etc..

[@Codemycom]

@@djilytech385 cool

[@KineticPebble]

I don't understand why we need to pass in parameter to the slide function? We are not using the parameter in the function and also not passing it in the command for the horizontal slider. Shouldn't it give a missing argument error?

[@mikemurphy1896]

you are da man, thx

[@Codemycom]

Thanks!

[@furrane]

FYI : The command inside the Scale will pass the scale value. Which means you could use this in your code for example : def slide(n): root.geometry(str(n)+'x400')

[@sudinmaharjan9326]

how u got that multiply sign because in my case i have * sign and it say this is a bad geometry specifier and i get a TclError

[@maxwellhawk]

i think the problem with changing size with slider bc when it change windows size, center of the window change and slider position change, however u keep holding same old spot. That's pretty much why its blinking. If we put slider in frame and grid it or use sticky to left top corner, it should work just fine.

[@johnjoe7803]

Not really is bc he is using the .pack that's why it centred in the middle by default.the .grid is use to place it anywhere in the window

you probably dont read the comments anymore, but how can i make a slider that has 2 different colours, like if its fully empty it would be red and if full it would be green, the slider would be red to the right of the knob, and green to the left of the knob
