Hi
I have a problem with a Listbox in Tkinter. When I tab through several
widgets with the tab-key, the listbox looses its selection, even
though it has been selected with .selection_set. The example below
demonstrates this. Can anyone provide me with some help on this?
Regards
Jorgen
Ps. I'm on a W2K machine with Python 2.2.2
----
from Tkinter import *
root = Tk()
colors = ['Yellow', 'Black', 'White', 'Green']
lb = Listbox(root)
for color in colors:
lb.insert(END, color)
lb.selection_se t(0)
lb.pack()
Entry(root).pac k()
root.mainloop()

Jorgen,
Try setting exportselection =0 in the Listbox construction like so:
lb = Listbox(root, exportselection =0)
This seems to work on my linux box.

Hi Martin,
It worked on my W2K machine too! Thanks alot. I skimmed through some
TCL/TK documentation, but I'm still somewhat puzzled over the default
behavior.
But I'm sure I'll figure it out someday.
Have a nice day

I have an application that produces two listboxes. I would like to be
able to select one of the items in the first listbox and one of the
items in the second listbox. However, when I make my selection in the
second listbox, the selected item in the first listbox gets deselected.
Is there a way to do this? I tried setting selectmode to MULTIPLE, but
that option only allows me to select multiple items in one of the
listboxes (both of...

Whenever I set up something similar:
vals =
for v in vals:
listbox.inset(END, v)
I notice that when this listbox is displayed, there is never a default
value. How can I make sure that one of the indices is selected by
default?

Hello,
I've written a simple GUI which contains a listbox to hold some information.
I've found that the click-selection schemes provided by Tkinter are
insufficient for my needs. Essentiall I need to impletement a custom
selectMode. As a first go, I've attempted to implement a click-on-click-off
mode. So for each entry, a click on that entry toggels its selection mode.
A click on any entry does not affect the selection mode of any...

Hi,
Armed with Programming Python 3rd Edition and Learning Python 2nd
edition I try to write an application which I at first thought was
simple, at least until I was finished with the GUI and then wanted to
start putting some data into it.
As you will see, the program is not yet finished but I post what I have
so far.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
