I'm trying to pass a name from a ComboBox to a MySQL search function, but no matter how I twist it, the get() always returns the first value in the combobox list, regardless of which name the user selects. Any ideas why? ComboBox Window - import search
-
-
def match():
-
#Initialize
-
new2 = tk.Toplevel()
-
new2.title("Matching Students and Projects")
-
title = tk.Label(new2, text = "See Student/Project matches for:", font=("Arial", 12, "bold"))
-
title.grid(row=0, column=0, sticky=W)
-
-
#Create drop-down list of students
-
students = ['student name', 'Student Name', 'Students Named']
-
-
Pmw.initialise()
-
studentmenu = Pmw.ComboBox(new2, label_text='Choose a Student:', labelpos = 'nw', scrolledlist_items=students, selectioncommand=None, entryfield_value=students[0])
-
studentmenu.grid(row=1, column=0, sticky=W, padx=0, pady=5)
-
-
#run the search
-
close = tk.Button(new2,text="Match",command=search.search(studentmenu))
-
close.grid(row=2, column=0)
-
-
#Exit
-
close = tk.Button(new2,text="Close Form",command=new2.destroy)
-
close.grid(row=2, column=0, sticky=W)
-
new2.mainloop()
Beginning of Search function - def search(menu):
-
#Select the student
-
searchname = menu.get()
-
searchname = searchname.split()
-
print searchname
-
fname = searchname[0]
-
lname = searchname[1]
