Tkinter: Selecting one item in each of two listboxes

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 which get deselected when I make a selection in the
second listbox).

I create the listboxes as follows:

listbox1_frame = Frame(root)
listbox1_frame. pack()
listbox1 = Listbox(listbox 1_frame, width = 40, height = 12)
listbox1.pack()

listbox2_frame = Frame(root)
listbox2_frame. pack()
listbox2 = Listbox(listbox 2_frame, width = 40, height = 8)
listbox2.pack()

Hello, Is there a quick way to replace the content of a single item in tkinter's listbox? Currently my solution is to first delete the item, then insert a new item at the same position. I think there may be better way. Zhang Le

I've got a listbox that holds a list of groups. Users can select a group, hit the remove button and the group should be removed from the listbox. The only problem is that no matter which group you select, the first one in the listbox is always removed.(The listitem with an index of 0. Box is set to single selection mode) I've looked at multiple examples and they all do it this way. What's wrong? (variables are also being set to the values...

I will give a simplified example of the problem at hand -- I have a case in which I have two listboxes - listbox1 and listbox2, if I click on an item in listbox1 the item gets highlighted as expected. Now if I click on an item in listbox2 the selected item in listbox1 loses its highlight. My question is how do I keep the listbox1 item from losing its highlight if I select an item in listbox2 or to that matter any other widget. Thanks

Hi, I have developed a GUI using tkinter (grid geometory manager). The structure is a top frame containing multiple subframes. Each subframe has a combination of widgets like(Entry, label, button,listboxes). The subframes are placed with a padx and pady offset with regards to the other subframes. And the widgets within these subframes have their own padx and pady offsets. The GUI runs fine on my linux box, but on a different linux box...

Hello, I have a form with various controls but to simplify the problem let’s say I have 2 listboxes. The selection in listbox1 controls RowSource of the listbox2. For example lstCars contains car models, if I select car model X then lstColors should give me available colors for that particular model. The problem is if I select car model X in lstCars, I want the first color in lstColors to be selected by default. Here is a sample code:...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: 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,...
