Hands On Tkinter for Python 3

Overview

This book and its support material is currently being written. Expected completion date is late 2020.

Python ships with a set of GUI widgets in its Tkinter module. These widgets include the most commonly used components such as menus, buttons, labels, and text boxes.

This original set of widgets has now been supplemented with a set of themed widgets which, for the most part, replace and simplify the early widget set. The themed widget set offers several new widgets although a few of the older widgets have not been replaced and these must still be used where necessary.

This book is an in-depth description of the newer themed widget and, where no replacement was created, some of the older widgets.

Please note that this book assumes the reader has a basic working knowledge of Python 3.

Topics covered within the book include:

• In-depth description of the attributes and methods of every themed widget
• Simple coded examples of how to use the methods of each widget
• In-depth description of earlier widgets not replaced by a themed widget
• Using Geometry Layouts
• Binding Events
• Manipulating Bindtags Lists
• Creating Virtual Events
• Building Complex Interfaces
• Building a Class-Based Application
• Creating New Widgets
• Hundreds of Hands-On Activities with Complete Solutions
