Grid View (Table list) in tkinter

[AruzV]

Is there any data grid sample for tkinter?

[bvdet]

AruzV,

Can you be more specific? Are you looking for an example of a Tkinter widget using the grid geometry manager?

[AruzV]

I need a sample table viewer in tkinter like excell or any database viewer. It must have Columns and rows and headers. Like this.

_|_A_|_B_|_C_|_ D_|_E_|
1|___|___|___|_ __|___|
2|___|___|___|_ __|___|
3|___|___|___|_ __|___|
4|___|___|___|_ __|___|
5|___|___|___|_ __|___|

Have you tried to code this for yourself? Do you know anything about Tkinter? Is this homework? I can provide code to parametrically build a grid like you describe, but we are not here to provide code to people without some effort on their part. I attached an image of a grid of Tkinter.Entry widgets. The column and row headers are not modifiable. Characters can be entered into the open grids. The fields are bound to '<FocusOut>' (prints field contents if not blank, destroys the top level widget if 'exit' is entered).

I am newer in python and tkinter. This is not my homework. I am not a student. I couldn't find any widget. Is there a widget for table view like this:

>>>dview=tkinte r.tableview()
>>>dview.pack ()
>>>dview.cell[2][3].text="some string"
>>>dview.cell[2][4].image="someima ge.png"
>>>dbutton=dvie w.cell[1][1].button

but I couldnt find in google. There are some samples but they are not enough for me.

In that case, I have no problem posting sample code. Type "demo" into one of the cells and tab out to see what happens.

import Tkinter
from time import sleep

textFont1 = ("Arial", 10, "bold italic")
textFont2 = ("Arial", 16, "bold")
textFont3 = ("Arial", 8, "bold")

class LabelWidget(Tkinter.Entry):
    def __init__(self, master, x, y, text):
        self.text = Tkinter.StringVar()
        self.text.set(text)
        Tkinter.Entry.__init__(self, master=master)
        self.config(relief="ridge", font=textFont1,
                    bg="#ffffff000", fg="#000000fff",
                    readonlybackground="#ffffff000",
                    justify='center',width=8,
                    textvariable=self.text,
                    state="readonly")
        self.grid(column=x, row=y)

Thanks bvdet this is helpful for me.

[neilhmurphy]

Thanks

I have found other examples (mostly inadequate), but none showed how to get data into the script.

[muco]

I desided to use tkinter treeview.

[bvdet]

I have found other examples (mostly inadequate), but none showed how to get data into the script.

What data are you trying to get into "the script"?

[neilhmurphy]

No laughing! I want to write a version of Quicken. I was forced to upgrade to Q2010 from Q2001 when I got Win7 64 bit. Q2010 is so awful that I must do something. I have started using GnuCash which is awkward, but a lot better than Q2010.

[neilhmurphy]

Would you add a scroll bar to your example?

[bvdet]

I have never done a scrollbar. I will try adding one when I get some spare time.

[neilhmurphy]

Thanks, you can imagine my difficulties.

[megumi]

can you pls help me,i need to put elemeents from a list into the table and cant figure it out.
