Tkinter CheckButton variables

My CheckButton variables seem always to be true, whether the box is checked or
not, which makes them considerably less useful. Following is a little script
that illustrates the difficulty. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank
you.

############### ############### #############

from Tkinter import *

def bCommand():
if c['variable']: ## ALSO TRIED: if cVbl
print 'bool(cVbl)==Tr ue'
else:
print 'bool(cVbl)==Fa lse'

root = Tk()
cVbl = IntVar()
c = Checkbutton(roo t,variable=cVbl )
c.pack(side=LEF T)
b = Button(root,hei ght=1,width=10, command=bComman d)
b.pack(side=LEF T)
root.mainloop()

b.pack(side=LEF T)
root.mainloop()


c[variable'] returns (of course) cVb1 and therefore will always be true.
You should use

if cVb1.get():
(etc.)

hello everybody. i am a a bit of a newbie in python/tkinter,and i am experimenting a bit with widgets like checkbuttons. in python, you can create a checkbutton instance like this: ..... self.tergicristalli = IntVar() self.b1 = Checkbutton(self.pulsanti_spunta)

hi people. when i create a widget, such as a toplevel window, and then i destroy it, how can i test that it has been destroyed? the problem is that even after it has been destroyed, the instance still exists and has a tkinter name, so testing for None is not feasible: >>> import Tkinter >>> fin = None >>> fin1 = Tkinter.Toplevel()

Hello: 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?

The grid manager is for equally distributing widgets both horizontally and vertically. And I'm not sure that you can realize that window look with Tkinter. You could get close by horizontally packing each widget row in a frame and then vertically packing the frames in the window. But the look...

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,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
