Get the input from a Checkbox in python tkinter?
You need to use an IntVar
for the variable:
checkCmd = IntVar()checkCmd.set(0)def runSelectedItems(): if checkCmd.get() == 0: labelText = Label(text="It worked").pack() else: labelText = Label(text="Please select an item from the checklist below").pack()checkBox1 = Checkbutton(mGui, variable=checkCmd, onvalue=1, offvalue=0, text="Command Prompt").pack()buttonCmd = Button(mGui, text="Run Checked Items", command=runSelectedItems).pack()
In other news, the idiom:
widget = TkinterWidget(...).pack()
Is not a very good one. In this case, widget
will always be None
since that is what is returned by Widget.pack()
. In general, you should create your widget and make it aware of the geometry manager in 2 separate steps. e.g.:
checkBox1 = Checkbutton(mGui, variable=checkCmd, onvalue=1, offvalue=0, text="Command Prompt")checkBox1.pack()
