Here are 7 basic steps to build a GUI using Tkinter in Python:
Step 1: Import the Tkinter Module:
Javascript
Import tkinter as tk
Step 2: Build a window by calling the ‘TK ()’ method:
makefile
root = tk. TK()
Step 3: Set the title and size of the windows with the ‘title ()’ and ‘geometry ()’:
arduino
root.title(“My Window”)
root.geometry(“400x400”)
Step 4: Build widgets using classes, like ‘Label’, ‘Button’, ‘Entry’, etc.
makefile
label = tk. Label(root, text=”Hello, World!”)
button = tk. Button(root, text = “Click me!”)
entry = tk. Entry(root)
Step 5: Position the widgets in window with geometry management methods, like ‘pack ()’, ‘grid ()’, or ‘place ()’:
scss
label. pack()
button.grid(row=0, column=1)
entry.place(x=50, y=50)
Step 6: Combine events and widgets with the ‘bind ()’ method and create event handlers:
scss
def button_click(event):
print(“Button Clicked!”)
button.bind(“<Button-1>”, button_click>
Step 7: Run the application by calling the ‘main loop ()’ method on the window:
scss
Root.mainloop()
Tkinter has lots of widgets and options for you to choose from, the best way is to read the official documentation to learn more about them. Here is the link of the Tkinter documentation website: https://docs.python.org/2/library/tkinter.html.
You can find detailed documentation for all the modules and functions in the Tkinter library, with examples and usage instructions. You can read the programming guidelines and best practices. It will help you to avoid some common mistakes when developing GUI applications with Tkinter.
Some alternative official documentation online resources, such as Stack Overflow, GigHub, and some python programming blogs that provide code samples, guidance for using Tkinter.
