Tkinter - Treeview Edit Cells Directly

I'll show you how to edit individual cells in the Treeview widget.

You will be able to double-click a cell and edit the value directly.

This involves placing an entry widget over top of a Treeview cell at the right time, which then allows the user to edit the text.

The treeview widget provides the methods we need to make this happen.

A reference site which lists some of the methods we will be using in the Treeview widget:

still the best tk tutorial that actually teaches instead of just showing

[kristosy]

Best Tkinter channel I have found! Someone who actually explains real world intermediate/advanced scenarios instead of just "How to create a main window and place a button".

[mohammedabd-allah]

excellent tutorial, straight to the point and addresses all needed. many thanks for sharing

[prwbluz]

Superb Tutorial, fabulous teacher. One of the most lucid demonstrations of TreeView.

[vpo]

Great tutorial. You are a very good teacher. Thank you.

Exactly what I needed, very well explained and easy to follow. If I can add a tip, the header height is determined by the first header column that tkinter creates. If you want to make the header taller you can add new line symbols to the beginning and end of the first column text like "\n Vehicle Type \n". This would give you a three line header for all columns. Thanks again for this, I will be checking out your other videos as well.

Hi Jobin, and thank you for the nice tutorial. This was exactly what I needed. As I am french, I particularly appreciated the quality of the sound track and your crystal clear speech. About the topic, I would not have expected to have to dig in such details. I was hoping to find an editing feature out of the box in treeview. So, thank you again, Pierre.

this was good, love to see a simple csv file opened and updated by this method

Great tutorial :) Only suggestion I have is to include the code from the video as a downloadable file to make adapting it for use in other projects easier. Thank you :D

Excellent Tutorial, the most advanced and Informative video I have seen. I personally learn best be example and this video taught me a lot and explained a lot of things I had questions about. Thank you for your effort. Hopefully there will be a follow up video to get into more details on developing an application. Thank You!

among most of the tutorials which scratch just surface.. i found this one very helpful and explains core aspects to deal with updating excel sheet abstractly. Sir ( auther) why don't we make a python module which can help us update excel sheet upend a row without worrying about excel sheet content ( i mean number of columns and number of rows)?. I wish to join hands.

[ahmedsaliem]

Really excellent tutorial that I haven't seen like it before. Thanks. Thanks again

[ahmedragala]

[bithepower]

My word you are a genuine genius this was VERY impressive indeed! Thank you for sharing

[lukepemberton]

This was so helpful. Your tkinter videos are unrivalled on the internet. Thank you so much

[ahmadhasan]

Thank you very much .. this is a genius solution to a problem that had me stumped for a while .. thank you
a quick update : if the tree is in a frame, the bbox return wrong co-ordinates and this whole arrangement just don't work .. the tree must be a child of the main window or it wont work .. can you look into it ? thanks again
