In this tutorial, we will cover the Button widget of Tkinter module in Python.

A Label widget shows text to the user. You can update the widget programmatically. The foundational element of a Tkinter GUI is the window. Windows are the containers in which all other GUI elements live. These other GUI elements, such as text boxes, labels, and buttons, are known as widgets. Widgets are contained inside of windows. Tkinter8.5reference:aGUIfor Python John W. Shipman 2013-12-31 17:59 Abstract Describes the Tkinterwidget set for constructing graphical user interfaces (GUIs) in the Python programming language. Includes coverage of the ttk themed widgets. This publication is available in Web form 1 and also as a PDF document 2. Please forward any comments to tcc-doc@nmt.edu.

The Button widget in Tkinter is mainly used to add a button in any GUI Application. In Python, while using the Tkinter button widget, we can easily modify the style of the button like adding a background colors to it, adjusting height and width of button, or the placement of the button, etc. very easily.

• You can add various types of buttons(as per your applications UI) to your application with the help of the Button Widget.

• You can also associate any method or function with a button if you want and then that method will get called whenever you press the button.

• There are many options of button widget which you can reset or set according to your requirements.

Tkinter Button Widget

The syntax of the button widget is given below,

In the above syntax, the master parameter denotes the parent window. You can use many options to change the look of the buttons and these options are written as comma-separated.

Tkinter Button Widget Options:

Following are the various options used with tkinter button widgets:

We will be using the different options in examples below.

Tkinter Button Widget Example

Now let us create a simple submit button with the help of code snippet given below:

In the above code example, we created a simple window of given width and height. Then we added a button widget to it with providing the window created as the master of that button and adding a text for the button.

Tkinter Button Widget - Add style and Event handler

Below we have another code snippet where we will change the look of buttons by adding morestyle to it. Let us see how we do it:

In the above code, we have added some styling using different options and we have added an event handler to handle the click event of the 3rd button. So whenever you will make a click on the button with text Green, you will see a Tkinter messagebox with a message.

Summary:

In this tutorial, we learned how to make a Tkinter Button widget with various options like chaning the style of the button, adding text to the button or positioning the button. We also saw a code example for adding an event handler function to any button to perform some action when the button is clicked.

HTML widgets for tkinter

Project description

HTML widgets for tkinter

Overview

This module is a collection of tkinter widgets whose text can be set in HTML format.A HTML widget isn't a web browser frame, it's only a simple and lightweight HTML parser that formats the tags used by the tkinter Text base class.The widgets behaviour is similar to the PyQt5 text widgets (see the PyQt5 HTML markup subset).

Installation

pip install tk_html_widgets

Requirements

• Python 3.4 or later with tcl/tk support

Example

Documentation

Classes:

All widget classes inherits from the tkinter.Text() base class.

class HTMLScrolledText(tkinter.Text)

Text-box widget with vertical scrollbar

class HTMLText(tkinter.Text)

Text-box widget without vertical scrollbar

class HTMLLabel(tkinter.Text)

Text-box widget with label appereance

Methods:

def set_html(self, html, strip=True):

Description: Sets the text in HTML format.
Args:

Tkinter Widgets Documentation

• html: input HTML string
• strip: if True (default) handles spaces in HTML-like style

def fit_height(self):

Drupal social media. Description: Fit widget height in order to display all wrapped lines

HTML support:

Only a subset of the whole HTML tags and attributes are supported (see table below).Where is possibile, I hope to add more HTML support in the next releases.

Comparison chart

In order to check the appearance of the HTML text displayed by the tk_html_widgets, I made some HTML templates and I compared the text displayed by the HTMLText widget with the text displayed by Firefox and the PyQt5 QTextBrowser widget.See details and templates HTML code in the examples folder.
