I am trying to create something similar to Google search. I have created dynamic checkboxes based on the search result from Entry widget and trying to print content of the selected checkbox on the text widget. But all the file's content of the search result are getting printed altogether when pressed enter on the Entry field. And nothing happens when clicked on any of the checkboxes.

Output :- file data issue — Postimage.org[^]

Batch Rollback(file 1) content -->

pyt_batch_id :- pyt_batch_id

Here multilines of 
sql statements
the main pyt_batch_id
task is to 
replace pyt_batch_id
from its second 
pyt_batch_id occurence

In the statement
Python
chk = Checkbutton(search_result, text = sheet.row_values(result[0])[1],variable = sheet.row_values(result[0])[0], onvalue = 1,  offvalue = 0, command = show(sheet.row_values(result[0])[2]))
, the
Python
command = show(sheet.row_values(result[0])[2])
should execute only when a checkbox is checked, but it is executing at the time of checkbox creation

In short I am trying to print content of file only when a checkbox is checked but it is getting displayed at the time of checkbox creation. Kindly assist me with this.

What I have tried:

Python
from tkinter import *
import shutil
import os
from datetime import datetime
import xlrd
from os import listdir
from os.path import isfile, join
import pyperclip

check_box_list = [] #variable to hold check box results


def show(file_path):
    with open(file_path, 'r') as f:
       file_data.insert(INSERT, f.read())

def search_datafix(search_string_parm):
    path = "DATAFIX_LIST.xlsx"
    search_string = search_string_parm
    open_file(path, search_string)


def open_file(path, search_string):
    wb = xlrd.open_workbook(path)
    sheet = wb.sheet_by_index(0)

    search_string_list = search_string.split()

    results = [] # holding row_num and keyword match frequency
    for row_num in range(sheet.nrows):

        row_value = sheet.row_values(row_num)

        keyword_match = 0 
        for keyword in search_string_list:
            if keyword.lower() in row_value[1].lower():
                # increasing keyword match frequency if it matches with a record
                keyword_match += 1

        # appending a list containing row_num and no of keywords matched to our
        # list if atleast one keyword is matched
        if keyword_match:
            results.append([row_num, keyword_match])    

    # sorting our results list in descending order of keyword match count
    results.sort(key = lambda results: results[1], reverse=True)

    # printing rows of our "DATAFIX_LIST.xlsx" file on basis of first index 
    # (row num) of all the rows stored
    i = 0
    checkbox_dict = dict()
    for result in results:
        #------------------------------------Dynamic checkbox creation----------------------------------------------#
        sheet.row_values(result[0])[0] = IntVar()
        chk = Checkbutton(search_result, text = sheet.row_values(result[0])[1],variable = sheet.row_values(result[0])[0], onvalue = 1,  offvalue = 0, command = show(sheet.row_values(result[0])[2]))
        chk.grid(row = i, column = 0)
        check_box_list.append(chk) #adding current check boxes list
        i = i+1

    search_box.insert(0, "Example: Batch Rollback")

def search_handle_enter(txt):
    for i in check_box_list: #Deleting previous search result
         i.destroy()

    search_datafix(search_box.get())

You need to provide more details of which checkbox is used by your print process (which I cannot find in the code above).

Here the checkbox is getting created dynamically using variable "chk" and print should only happen when a checkbox is being checked. But in my case, the file is getting printed at the time of search process(i.e. when enter is pressed on Entry widget)

Sorry, but unless you show the actual code and explain where the problem occurs, we cannot offer suggestions.
Vasudha Dixit 2-Jan-20 9:38am    
In the statement "chk = Checkbutton(search_result, text = sheet.row_values(result[0])[1],variable = sheet.row_values(result[0])[0], onvalue = 1, offvalue = 0, command = show(sheet.row_values(result[0])[2]))", the "command = show(sheet.row_values(result[0])[2])" should execute only when a checkbox is checked, but it is executing at the time of checkbox creation.

I have updated my question content. Kindly revert if the issue is still not clear.

I can only assume that the command is being called when the button is first created, for some reason. I think you will need to run a few basic tests to see exactly how theses widgets are implemented. You could try a different command that just tests the state of the checkbutton.

1 solution

As far as my understanding goes you cannot declare a function in the command parameter explicitly you need to use lambda to call the function.
