Trying to make an app for work that sends User IDs and Passwords from our server. Would like the ability to click on a "Submit" button or to just press enter at the e-mail field.

This code does not work:


def MakeEmail():
usernameID = UIDName.get()
passwordID = PWName.get()
emailAddress = EMailName.get()

...

EMailText = StringVar()
EMailText.set("E-Mail Address")
EMail1 = Label(app, textvariable=EMailText, height=4)
EMail1.pack()


EMail = StringVar(None)
EMailName = Entry(app, textvariable=EMail, width=50)
EMailName.bind("", MakeEmail)
EMailName.pack()


button1 = Button(app, text="Submit", width=20, command=MakeEmail)
button1.pack(side='bottom',padx=15,pady=15)


app.mainloop()


Bind sends one argument while command sends none. How do I reconcile this?

You should use the code tags to enforce indentation:

def MakeEmail():
    usernameID = UIDName.get()
    passwordID = PWName.get()
    emailAddress = EMailName.get()

...

EMailText = StringVar()
EMailText.set("E-Mail Address")
EMail1 = Label(app, textvariable=EMailText, height=4)
EMail1.pack()


EMail = StringVar(None)
EMailName = Entry(app, textvariable=EMail, width=50)
EMailName.bind("", MakeEmail) 
EMailName.pack()


button1 = Button(app, text="Submit", width=20, command=MakeEmail)
button1.pack(side='bottom',padx=15,pady=15)


app.mainloop()

Fuck, I'm retarded.

Tkinter.

I've just started some work with Tkinter myself. I'm still new with some of the terminology, so bare with me if I give some goofy info.

You can use 'lambda' to make certain sections do more. For instance, the button 'command' call can only call a function without arguments by default; however, you can use 'lambda' to get around that. For instance, you could say:

command=lambda: somefunction(arg1, arg2, arg3)

def SomeFunc(arg1, arg2, arg3="Default"):

SomeFunc(5, 1)
SomeFunc(5, 1, arg3="SomethingElse")
SomeFunc(arg1=5, arg2=1, arg3="SomethingElse")
