tkinter: Round Button - Any idea?

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to implement a virtual instrument, which has buttons and
displays, using Tkinter+Pmw.
One of items on the virtual instrument is a round button.
This is imitating a tact switch.

Tkinter has a Button class, which I can assign a button image.
However, when the button is depressed, the rectangle is sunken (rather
than the round button).

Probably I need to prepare two images, normal one and depressed one,
and implement all button behaviours by myself.
But before reinventing everything by myself, I'm wondering if there is
an easy way to implement or there is existing widget example of such
button.
So far, I couldn't find any good examples.

Any suggestions are highly appreciated.

Best regards,
Aki Niimura

Try
http://search.cpan.org/~darnold/Tk-S...yledButton.pod.
This is Perl, but it might be worthwhile to take a look at implementation.

hi I have 2 questions.. 1) I am a little confused about how i should layout my java files..ie, how it's normally done..i have a heep of classes in one file...mostly JPanel and a button class i made, as well as a class that extends frame...is it proper technique to put each class in it's separate file, and make it public? or should i just leave it in one file, as all the classes are components for one form?

Hi! I have a round area which I want to be able to move the mouse over and fire off events... how do I do that? I have drawn a FillPie Graphics and I feel that there has to be a way of getting to know if the mouse is over that area since I have the coordinates to paint the Pie but I don't know where to start or what to look for really. Best Regard

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
