I'm trying to make a button to stay pressed, so I tried to make this happens with a global variable. The variable check is initially False, but when typeTime() is called via the submit object it should change its value in True and when check will be tested later to keep my button pressed using config method.
What am I doing wrong, as neither the button is still pressed nor the message "Pressed" is displayed in the console ?
The window.mainloop() is the internal loop inside object window, not in your script so that is why it didn't work. You need to add the action inside the function typeTime:
from tkinter import *
import time
if __name__=='__main__':
check = False
window = Tk()
window.geometry("1920x1080")
def typeTime(button):
hour = int(time.strftime("%H"))
minute = int(time.strftime("%M"))
second = int(time.strftime("%S"))
hourInput2 = int(hourInput.get())
minuteInput2 = int(minuteInput.get())
secondInput2 = int(secondInput.get())
if(hour == hourInput2 and minute == minuteInput2 and second == secondInput2):
print("now")
# global check
# check = True
print('Pressed')
button.config(relief=SUNKEN)
canvas = Canvas(window, width = 1980, height = 1020)
canvas.pack()
hourInput = StringVar()
minuteInput = StringVar()
secondInput = StringVar()
setHour = Entry(window, text = hourInput, font = (20)).place(x = 100, y = 20, width = 100, height = 40)

I am trying to code a journal using tkinter. I have used different scripts for each part of the journal (main menu, morning entry and evening entry). I have set it so that the windows for morning and evening entry only open when their respective buttons are pressed on the main menu and this works well but when I run the programs both windows open automatically without me pressing anything. This happens before the main menu window is even opened. I have checked through the code and not noticed anything that can be causing this. Below is my code for the main menu and for the morning menu (evening is the same as morning menu with variables changed).
Main Menu

My first post, so I apologize as I learn to use this. Also, I am sure my code is very jumbled and rudimentary, but I am not here to get someone to re-write my code. I have a question about how a widget is behaving and an error code I am getting.
I currently have two frames in a mainWindow, and when you click a button labeled "New", a small window (newWindow) pops up that has a registration form, and a button labeled "Register" to write the form data to a .txt file.
The problem I am having is that if I do not define where the button should go, it appears in the mainWindow. If I specify for it to appear in the newWindow, it does not appear and throws me the following error:
File
"/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/lib/python3.9/tkinter/init.py",
line 1507, in nametowidget
w = w.children[n] KeyError: '!button2'

The problem is that the whole program 'freezes' every time the msg box pop up and unless the user confirms 'ok' then the function will pick up where it left off. Is there any way to keep the function going, hence the number in the msg box will update according to the time remaining? Am I approaching this problem the wrong way? Is there another module for this all along and I am just using the wrong module for the task? Please go easy on me, I am still learning. All responses all much appreciated.
messagebox will pause the further execution until it receives an input. To prevent this you can try the following
Use threading
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import messagebox
from threading import Thread
def msgbox():
def _display():
messagebox.showinfo('Info','Self distruction after 2 seconds')
Thread(target=_display).start()
root.after(2000,root.destroy)
root=Tk()
button=Button(root,text='Run',command=msgbox)
button.pack()
root.mainloop()
Create your own info box using Toplevel (the below example will create a replica (sort of) of standard windows info box)
from tkinter import *
import tkinter.ttk as ttk
class InfoBox(Toplevel):
def __init__(self,title,message,parent=None):
Toplevel.__init__(self,parent)
self.bell()
self.transient(self.master)
self.title(title)
self.config(bg='white')
top_frame=Frame(self,bd=0,bg=self['bg'])
top_frame.pack(side='top',fill='x',pady=20)
bottom_frame=Frame(self,bd=0)
bottom_frame.pack(side='bottom',fill='x')
self.info_icon=Canvas(top_frame,width=36,height=36
,bg=self['bg'],bd=0,highlightthickness=0)
self.info_icon.create_oval(0,0,30,30,fill='#0077be',outline='#0077be')
self.info_icon.create_text(15,16,text='i',font=('',18),fill='white')
self.info_icon.pack(side='left',padx=(20,0),anchor='center')
self.label=Label(top_frame,text=message,bg=self['bg'])
self.label.pack(padx=(1,20),pady=5,anchor='center')
self.ok_button=ttk.Button(bottom_frame,text='OK',
state='active',command=self.destroy)
self.ok_button.pack(anchor='e',padx=15,pady=10)
self.update()
center_x=self.winfo_screenwidth()//2-self.winfo_width()//2
center_y=self.winfo_screenheight()//2-self.winfo_height()//2
self.geometry(f'+{center_x}+{center_y}')
def msgbox():
InfoBox('Info','Self distruction after 2 seconds')
root.after(2000,root.destroy)
root=Tk()
button=Button(root,text='Run',command=msgbox)
button.pack()
root.mainloop()
UPDATE
Stacking is automatically prevented

def __init__(self):
self.exists=False
def call(self,title,message,parent=None):

I'm programming a simple application to help with tracking combat information for dnd using python and tkinter. I started with the input page and it worked fine, but when I started to use tabs to allow the user to access a help page, strangely it cut off about half of the original output, the only thing I changed is using ttk and my_frame 1 instead of root. I've tried changing .place to .grid and it worked to some degree, although instead it displayed the buttons in strange positions in front of the rest of the outputs. Then I tried adding blank lines on the help tag, this did work but it seems quite ineffective and time consuming. I can guess from this there's no space but the geometry was set to 500x500 which should be plenty. So I'm trying to figure out what's going wrong. Thanks for reading!
(Also it isn't quite complete yet hence why the next page function does something random)
This is the code:
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk
#Starting up tkinter
root = tk.Tk()
root.title("Dungeons and dragons combat manager")
root.geometry("500x500")
root.configure(background = "White")

overall_data = []
#help page

my_frame2 = tk.Frame(my_notebook, width = 500, height = 500)
my_notebook.add(my_frame1, text = "Main")
my_notebook.add(my_frame2, text = "Help")
line1 = tk.Label(my_frame2, text = "Hello, welcome to the help page!", font = ('Times New Roman', 12)).grid(row = 0, column = 0, sticky = 'W')

It is because you haven't made the notebook large enough, and haven't requested that it expand to fill the available space. You're relying on the default size of the notebook, and you're putting more things in than will fit. Plus, you're using place instead of pack inside the notebook, and place won't cause the containing window to grow or shrink. This is one of the disadvantages to using place as a general purpose layout mechanism.
The easy solution is to use the options that pack supports, such as fill and expand, though without knowing what your full UI should look like it's hard to say if that's the correct solution or not.
my_notebook.pack(fill="both", expand=True)
Another solution would be to stop using place. If you use grid and/or pack, then the notebook will resize to fit its contents.
