Starting from: http://effbot.org/tkinterbook/tkinter-dialog-windows.htm I did the following:
import Tkinter as tk, tkSimpleDialog
class MyDialog(tkSimpleDialog.Dialog):
def body(self, master):
self.geometry("800x600")
tk.Label(master, text="Enter your search string text:").grid(row=0)
self.e1 = tk.Entry(master)
self.e1.grid(row=0, column=1)
return self.e1 # initial focus
def apply(self):
first = self.e1.get()
self.result = first
root = tk.Tk()
root.withdraw()
test = MyDialog(root, "testing")
print test.result
If you want geometry and the label's text to be customizable, you will probably need to override __init__
(the version given in the link should be a good starting point).
tkSimpleDialog doesn't allows you to change it's geometry
In place use Tk() only
Here you have an exmple where you'll see the difference between two windows
import Tkinter, tkSimpleDialog
root = Tkinter.Tk()
root.geometry('240x850+200+100')
#root.withdraw()
test = tkSimpleDialog.askstring("testing", "Enter your search string text")
root.mainloop()
print test
Make the second parameter as big as you like:
import Tkinter, tkSimpleDialog
root = Tkinter.Tk()
root.withdraw()
test = tkSimpleDialog.askstring("testing", "Enter your search string text in the space provided")
print test
