Grid View (Table list) in tkinter

[AruzV]

Is there any data grid sample for tkinter?

[bvdet]

AruzV,

Can you be more specific? Are you looking for an example of a Tkinter widget using the grid geometry manager?

[AruzV]

I need a sample table viewer in tkinter like excell or any database viewer. It must have Columns and rows and headers. Like this.

_|_A_|_B_|_C_|_D_|_E_|
1|___|___|___|___|___|
2|___|___|___|___|___|
3|___|___|___|___|___|
4|___|___|___|___|___|
5|___|___|___|___|___|

Have you tried to code this for yourself? Do you know anything about Tkinter? Is this homework? I can provide code to parametrically build a grid like you describe, but we are not here to provide code to people without some effort on their part. I attached an image of a grid of Tkinter.Entry widgets. The column and row headers are not modifiable. Characters can be entered into the open grids. The fields are bound to '<FocusOut>' (prints field contents if not blank, destroys the top level widget if 'exit' is entered).

I am newer in python and tkinter. This is not my homework. I am not a student. I couldn't find any widget. Is there a widget for table view like this:

>>>dview=tkinter.tableview()
>>>dview.pack()
>>>dview.cell[2][3].text="some string"
>>>dview.cell[2][4].image="someimage.png"
>>>dbutton=dview.cell[1][1].button

but I couldnt find in google. There are some samples but they are not enough for me.

In that case, I have no problem posting sample code. Type "demo" into one of the cells and tab out to see what happens.

Thanks bvdet this is helpful for me.

[neilhmurphy]

I have found other examples (mostly inadequate), but none showed how to get data into the script.

[muco]

I desided to use tkinter treeview.

[bvdet]

I have found other examples (mostly inadequate), but none showed how to get data into the script.

What data are you trying to get into "the script"?

[neilhmurphy]

No laughing! I want to write a version of Quicken. I was forced to upgrade to Q2010 from Q2001 when I got Win7 64 bit. Q2010 is so awful that I must do something. I have started using GnuCash which is awkward, but a lot better than Q2010.

[neilhmurphy]

Would you add a scroll bar to your example?

[bvdet]

I have never done a scrollbar. I will try adding one when I get some spare time.

[neilhmurphy]

Thanks, you can imagine my difficulties.

[megumi]

can you pls help me,i need to put elemeents from a list into the table and cant figure it out.
