Basic Search and Autofill - Python Tkinter GUI Tutorial #162

In this video we'll create a simple search and autofill function with Tkinter and Python.

We'll create an entry box and a list box full of pizza toppings. As you start to type a topping into the entry box, the listbox will automatically update to show toppings that look like what you're typing.

This is a very basic search function and the beginnings of an auto complete or autofill function that you can play with.

If you want your listbox to update only by the letters from the beginnig of the word, change your code in that fucntion this way:
typed= my_entry.get()
length_of_typed=len(typed)
if typed == '':
data = toppings
else:
data=[]
for item in toppings:
if typed.lower() in
data.append(item)
update(data)

If anyone wants the searching to be exact e.g. if you don't want 'Ham' pops up when type M, do this in the for loop:

if
data.append(item)

Hi John, thank you for the video. New to coding, wondering if you have any tips for building more advanced search functionality into this example to make it more comprehensive/user friendly. Thanks!

[DauphinetB]

Hey, great videos! I'm learning a lot! But please, put the typo error higher up in the description. I spent shitloads of time trying to debug it on my app until I went back to this video, RIP.

Me before finding this guy: Tkinter awfully sucks
Me after finding this guy: Woah tkinter is actually a good GUI library

[UshaDarja]

I am getting "TclError: no event type or button # or keysym" error while running code

I just wanted to create a "CTRL+F" or "INPUT TEXTBOX" to be able to search text inside the tkinter GUI.
Like when you are on a browser and hit "CTRL+F" to quickly find the text you need, I would need to do the same, but on the GUI.
How would be possible to do that?

very good videos you made sir add more so i want become master in tkinter python

For example I have Table with Headers. And I want make headers work as menubuttons but with ability to search like in this video. So once I enter 'C' all data under that header is removed and appear the one only that starts on 'C'. What the best practice to accomplish it? I would like to add something like that on each header so I could do filter by any Column. At the same time list of data might be exceed window, so I need scrollbar there.
