Below is my code, it runs but I'm not sure how to get the "Run text" button to prompt me to open text file in new window, currently a new window appears with a "Quit" button, nothing else.
import tkFileDialog
import Tkinter as tk
from Tkinter import *
import logging
logging.basicConfig(filename= "log_file.txt", filemode = "w", level=logging.DEBUG, format='%(asctime)s %(message)s', datefmt='%d/%m/%Y %I:%M:%S %p')
logging.warning('is when this event was logged.')
class HomeScreen:
def __init__(self, master):
self.master = master
self.frame = tk.Frame(self.master)
self.button1 = tk.Button(self.frame, text = 'Run Text', width = 25, command = self.new_window)
self.button1.pack()
self.frame.pack()
def openFile(self):
openfile = tkFileDialog.askopenfile().read()
text= open(openfile, 'r').read()
T.insert(1.0, openfile)
T = Text(height=10, width=100)
T.pack()
T.insert(END, "Select file to input")
B = Button(root, text="Open", command=openFile)
B.pack()
mainloop()
return
def new_window(self):
self.newWindow = tk.Toplevel(self.master)
self.app = Quit(self.newWindow)
class Quit:
def __init__(self, master):
self.master = master
self.frame = tk.Frame(self.master)
self.quitButton = tk.Button(self.frame, text = 'Quit', width = 25, command = self.close_windows)
self.quitButton.pack()
self.frame.pack()
def close_windows(self):
self.master.destroy()
def main():
root = tk.Tk()
app = HomeScreen(root)
app = Quit(root)
root.mainloop()
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
I'm sure my code is very messy as I'm just a beginner, some parts may not be needed, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I've simplified your code a bit, but I've also enhanced it a little. I use askopenfilename
rather than askopenfile
, so we can get the file name and display it in the titlebar of each Toplevel window containing a Text widget.
import tkFileDialog
import Tkinter as tk
class HomeScreen:
def __init__(self, master):
self.master = master
frame = tk.Frame(master)
frame.pack()
button = tk.Button(frame, text='Show Text', width=25, command=self.open_file)
button.pack()
button = tk.Button(frame, text='Quit', width=25, command=master.destroy)
button.pack()
master.mainloop()
def open_file(self):
filename = tkFileDialog.askopenfilename()
if not filename:
#User cancelled
return
with open(filename) as f:
filedata = f.read()
window = tk.Toplevel(self.master)
window.title(filename)
text = tk.Text(window, height=10, width=100)
text.pack()
text.insert(1.0, filedata)
def main():
root = tk.Tk()
HomeScreen(root)
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
To display the text file one word at a time you can replace the open_file
method with the version below. You'll also need to add the show_word
method. I'm not claiming that this is the best way to achieve this effect, but at least it works. :)
def show_word(self, word):
self.text.delete(1.0, tk.END)
self.text.insert(tk.END, word)
def open_file(self):
filename = tkFileDialog.askopenfilename()
if not filename:
#User cancelled
return
with open(filename) as f:
filedata = f.read()
words = filedata.split()
window = tk.Toplevel(self.master)
window.title(filename)
self.text = text = tk.Text(window, height=10, width=100)
text.pack()
delta = 1000 #in millseconds
delay = 0
for word in words:
window.after(delay, lambda word=word: self.show_word(word))
#print word
delay += delta
If you want that "Run text"
open's a file dialog change called method:
self.button1 = tk.Button(self.frame, text = 'Run Text', width = 25, command = self.openFile)
