You're Welcome

Great Tutorial, very easy to understand and to implement. I wanted to ask one question, how do you search for a specific file by name using OS module or some other module without loops and elements? is there a way to do that In one line of code?

[@dr1ft703]

Really Helpful!! Thanks :)

[@Codemycom]

Welcome

[@merijns3446]

why not use str() to fix the problem in 6:15?

[@py_tok5589]

at 6:23, I can open PDF files too, nice one Prof

[@Codemycom]

Cool

[@ntcellulartutorials1195]

Great great great thank you very much sir

[@Codemycom]

Thanks for watching!

[@chaimrydlewicz7472]

Thanks for the video, it was really helpful. I would like to ask; how do you export the input data from tkinter into other external modules? Thanks for helping

[@Codemycom]

Depends on the data and the external thing

[@augustinjoshua7504]

Sir, I have a dobut. I have done all the steps that you mentioned in this video. But I got one error that is 'c:/Users/folder' is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

[@Codemycom]

Check your code for errors.

[@olariviitak423]

How can you open another files inside the window you made, like the button, you press it and the app will display next to it (on specific cords)?

[@jdsguam]

why not just use Popen?

[@LaurentChastain]

hello, well explained as usual but what if I select a file of type scratch in the list and it opens directly in scratch3 for example? thank you

[@Codemycom]

I dunno, don't do that? lol

[@ks.545]

Hello sir, is it possible to use GUI to open a .py program file and change the address file (ex.video path) then run it? Appreciate your help 🙏🏻

[@Codemycom]

Sure, you could do that.

[@AISNomad]

Hi, thanks for your video. I was wondering if python tkinter GUI can create a program interface to display other program window. For example, if I use Tkinter GUI to launch the notepad.exe, the notepad is displayed inside of the tkinter GUI with toolbars, instead of opening another window. Please suggest how to develop it. Thank you very much.

[@Codemycom]

Not that I know of

[@ghaithsmasters5131]

Could this be used to open a file using a given application, say to open a .txt file in word

[@slayeroff7798]

Hello sir at 6:20 can we use a f string?

[@Codemycom]

try it and see

[@akramelomrani8728]

@@Codemycom no we cant I've tryed

[@pirro1212]

Hi, I enjoyed the video and learned a lot. The problem that i am getting with the code is that once you opend the program the other buttons dont work. Is there a work around for this?

[@Codemycom]

I suppose you could try threading

[@cezargoncalves3220]

Hi, in my program when I click at the button "Notepad" it is open a cmd windows under notepad.

[@jeffreyclendening9046]

how would you a program like notepad++. there are ++ in path and the file name

[@krish3d385]

Nice vedio sir. Learned something. But can we open a pdf file using this code?.

[@krish3d385]

Ohh yeah, it works fine. Thank you very much. You are much needed person. I have a lot to learn from. Keep rocking.

[@Codemycom]

@@krish3d385 will do!

[@abhinandvb7843]

Can you show us how to close it

[@matthewduck302]

If I wanted to take this further and open a specific program, but instead of opening the application traditionally in its own window, I wanted to open it within the Python GUI Box, how could I do that? Thanks a lot!

[@Codemycom]

you couldn't

[@Teedies-oh7gi]

Would like to ask, how do you close a running python file, like those that required you to press Ctrl + C to stop those kind of close

[@Codemycom]

Uh, press Crtrl+c

[@jamestackett6945]

I’m programming on a raspberry pi. Iv done the same thing as you. When I try to open a external program I get a permission error. Do you know how I would fix this? Thank you for the help.

[@Codemycom]

Sorry, I don't know anything about Raspberry pi

I try to run my gui.exe to open someone else's .exe file and it shows failed to execute the exe. The spyder window shows the .exe file is not recognized as an internal or external command. I can open the .exe by double click the icon but can't with the code in my gui. I can run other exe such as Zoom and Teams..dont know why ...

[@Codemycom]

You don't run exe from spyder. Just open them on their own.

[@PC-xh4qp]

What to do if some external apps are causing your app to not respond what to do then ?

[@Codemycom]

close them

[@redcenter3186]

Can you make an login and register system with tk?

I converted Py to exe but exe file is not opening rather getting error like fatal error, failed to execute script sample. Please guide me

[@Codemycom]

did you use pyinstaller to create the exe? You can't just rename a .py to a .exe

[@kmp922]

@@Codemycom yes I used pyinstaller

[@Acem8887]

@@kmp922 make sure that your program doesnt show up any errors or has every file that needed in the same dir as the exe file you made. i added iconbitmap thing and program wont open without the .ico file in the same dir.

You have typos in your code...it has to be exact

[@hellobro8837]

Sir, I couldn't get how ' "%s" ' % my program works. I mean why " " used inside ' ', generally it's written as '%s' or "%s" and it converts something passed into it into string. But in (' "%s" ' % my program), what my program was converted into?

[@Codemycom]

Sorry not sure what you're asking

[@hellobro8837]

@@Codemycom I mean what's the purpose of using " " inside ' ' & generally %s converts something into string, but you already tried with string version...then what the location of my program converted into?

sir why do we need two quotations like why ' " " ' and not just one ' ' please help

because it won't work otherwise. Try it and see.
