Hi,
I'm having trouble with the code below.
It's just a regular Tk text widget in which you can type and
select text as expected, however the call to tkFileDialog.as kopenfilename()
seems to screw things up. After the file dialog, I can no longer use
the Text widget (typing, selecting, it doesn't work anymore!)
What am I doing wrong?
TIA,
--Irmen de Jong
-----test.py----
import Tkinter, tkFileDialog
window=Tkinter. Tk()
txt=Tkinter.Tex t(window)
txt.insert(Tkin ter.END,"Choose a file, then try to select me")
txt.pack()
name=tkFileDial og.askopenfilen ame()
txt.insert(Tkin ter.END,"\nFile chosen: "+name)
window.mainloop ()

No sure, but opening the dialog before entering the main loop could be the
problem. The following modification seems to work:
import Tkinter, tkFileDialog
window = Tkinter.Tk()
txt = Tkinter.Text(wi ndow)
txt.insert(Tkin ter.END, "Choose a file, then try to select me")
txt.pack()
def openFile(event= None):
name = tkFileDialog.as kopenfilename()
txt.insert(Tkin ter.END, "\nFile chosen: " + name)
txt.focus_set()
window.after_id le(openFile)
window.mainloop ()

Okay, I didn't know about the after_idle, and still don't understand why
my first attempt resulted in the weird behavior I described. But hey,
with a bit of tweaking, it works now :-)
Also another weird thing: I found out (using my original code
without the after_idle) that if I inserted a tkMessageBox before the
mainloop(), that the 'correct' behavior of the Text box is restored!
....confused...

I'm trying to make a custom entry widget, as in the code that follows.
There are two problems I'm trying to fix:
1) I would like the widget to behave as myEntry.Escape() does now,
except that it happens on loss of focus, not when pressing Esc.
2) TABbing between multiple entry fields does undesired things with
the selection, and with cursor placement.
Can anyone offer any suggestions for how to fix this? I'm attemting to

I am looking for a way to force a Tkinter window into focus on a system

for example I am entering text at the command line and call a

a window in my application. The...

Below I have included a stripped down version of the GUI I am working on.
It contains 2 dialog boxes - one main and one settings. It has the following
problems, probably all related, that I am hoping someone knows what I am
doing wrong:
1) Pressing the Settings.. Button multiple times, brings up many instances
of the Settings Panel. I just want it to bring up one. Is there an easy
way to do that?

Hello
I have the following problem in Python 2.5 on Windows XP.
On Ubuntu I do not see the problem.
I have a Tkinter application as in the following example
The entry-widget is somehow blocked (i cannot type characters into it)
when I call askopenfilename before I create the widget.
Calling askopenfile again (by clicking the button) releases the block,
I can type into the entry as expected.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

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,...
