How Can I Dynamically Update Ttk.combobox?
Solution 1:
You can finish your homework with a simple lambda
function.
valuetypes = ["bla1", "bla2", "bla3"]
datatypes = ttk.Combobox(..., values=valuetypes,
postcommand=lambda: datatypes.configure(values=valuetypes), ...)
valuetypes.append["another bla"]
When you click on the down-arrow of the Combobox
, the changes will appear in the drop-down menu.
Solution 2:
You are calling self.get_datatypes(...)
and assigning the result to the postcommand
attribute at the time you create the combobox. That is why it runs exactly once: you told it to. Just like with command
attributes, you must give a reference to a function when definining the postcommand
attribute.
Create a method specifically for the post command for each combobox, use a reference to that for your postcommand
, and then call get_datatypes
from that function after fetching the values from the other widgets.
It should look something like this:
datatypes = ttk.Combobox(..., postcommand=self.combo_post_command, ...)
...
defcombo_post_command(self):
flnm2 = self.flnm2.get()
hl2_text = self.hl2_text.get()
delim2 = self.delim2.get()
fcd2_text = self.fcd2_text.get()
returnself.get_datatypes(datatypes, flnm2, hl2_text, delim2, fcd2_text)
I'm not exactly sure what datatypes
is supposed to be. You define it as an empty list, then reset it to be the widget itself. Regardless, this shows the general concept.
It may seem like you have a lot of duplicated code by having a function for each combobox, but you have to call all the get()
functions somewhere. You either try to cram that all into the configuration of the widget, or you put it in a function. Putting it in the function is more explicit, and easier to debug and maintain over time.
