How do I place a preset into the text box?

[Steve]

Yes, the form/window now closes properly.

Removal of sys.exit() and inserting window.destroy() cleared up the exiting
problem.

 

Thanks.  

I saw several variations on that but I guess I just never twerked it enough.

The following program compiles but does not quite do what I would like it to
do. Line 19 is the preset information but I do not seem to be able to get it
into the form by code.  My purpose is to let the user make changes without
having to re-enter the entire code.

 

I'm no Tk expert but does the following do what you want? (Strictly
speaking, the parentheses in ("1234-abcd") are not wrong just unnecessary.)

 

#===========================================================

import tkinter as tk

from tkinter import ttk

import sys

 

window = tk.Tk()

window.title("Python Tkinter Text Box")

window.minsize(600,400)

 

def Submit():

   label.configure(text= 'The new code is: ' + NewCode.get())

 

def ClickExit():

   #This exit closes the program but the form remains and is still active.

   # I want only to close the form.

   print("Exiting")

   #sys.exit()

   window.destroy()

 

#OldCode = ("1234-abcd")

OldCode = "1234-abcd"

 

label = ttk.Label(window, text = "Enter the new code")

label.grid(column = 1, row = 1)

 

#NewCode = tk.StringVar()

NewCode = tk.StringVar(value=OldCode)

 

CodeEntered = ttk.Entry(window, width = 15, textvariable = NewCode)

CodeEntered.grid(column = 2, row = 3)

 

button = ttk.Button(window, text = "Submit", command = Submit)

button.grid(column= 2, row = 5)

 

button = ttk.Button(window, text = "Quit", command = ClickExit)

button.grid(column= 2, row = 7)

 

window.mainloop()

 

x = (NewCode.get())

print("The new code entered is: " + x)

 

#=================================================
