You've literally helped me through learning Tkinter for the past 3 years. You are very helpful and you explain things well! I couldn't have made any Tkinter GUI without you!

[tillebeling]

I'm working the first time with Tkinter and Python to create a GUI for a project and your tutorials are a great help! Love it!

[thesun]

You have helped me a lot in my Computer Science project and i am pretty sure i wont forget Tkinter even after this project's done. Thanks a ton :)

[Ascannio]

Excellent set of Tkinter GUI tutorial videos. I am enjoying easy and relaxed form of lessons with a bit of humour. Well done!
Just wondering why so small number of the views. Under rated, for sure.

Thanks for the lessons
:) I had problems with the * I didn't know about that

Another great vid. Thought I'd just leave a comment to help with YT algorithm?

[shivamconsultancyservices]

you are a great person. I have no doubts as little to little things are solved by your videos. Hatsoff Dear!

I'm not sure how YouTube handles this stuff but I think it's a little ridiculous I need to express that I like each individual video (well deserved on your part and I have been because you deserve it) instead of liking the playlist as sort of a catch all(or like all) for the content you're providing. I find this to be especially true on educational content where it's typically consecutive videos around a very broad topic. You shouldn't lose value because you're an educational channel, assuming you do based on what I know of YouTube. Just my unsolicited 2 cents.

out of curiosity, which videos prior to this one in ur playlist talk about (in depth/remotely) about string var. it seems to be quite an interesting concept and would like to better understand it

btw, great videos man. keep it up with ur channel :)

[artemissrijan]

What a journey this was, I learnt a lot!

[mihnearazvan]

Thanks for the videos, really great! Just a beginner question: can I limit the selection to just one and add an "OK" button to close the menu once selection finished? Thank you!

[enricogalli]

You always scare me when you say "What's going on ..." :D

[whitefang]

Is it possible to run a function each time the menu is updated? (Whenever a user selects something from a menu a function is called)

edit: Nevermind figured it out. To achieve this you can simply add the command attribute to the option menu.
When ever the drop down is interacted with it will call the function parsing in the selected value.


dropdown = OptionMenu(root, selected_item, *items_list, command=display_selection)

def
print(selected_item)

how would I assign a value for example Monday as 2 so when you select Monday

[Damieru]

In the show() function you're using a variable (clicked) which is defined outside of it. Isn't there a way around this?

[erichudson]

Love this video! I used this concept to create a workout app. Is there anyway I can make the selected word from the dropdown menu output something else? So if I click "Monday", it would output a to-do list for Monday

[CrownCatX]

how do you change that little white box thingy next to the dropdown text?

[musiclover]

Thanks for this super helpful video! I was wondering if there is a way to add a feature where the user can search through the drop down menu options?

[theinquisitivelayman]

@6:08, you added "Saturday". How would I add a new date via an input box and subsequently update the list/optionMenu to show the newest addition?
