How can you open another files inside the window you made, like the button, you press it and the app will display next to it (on specific cords)?

Could this be used to open a file using a given application, say to open a .txt file in word

Hi, thanks for your video. I was wondering if python tkinter GUI can create a program interface to display other program window. For example, if I use Tkinter GUI to launch the notepad.exe, the notepad is displayed inside of the tkinter GUI with toolbars, instead of opening another window. Please suggest how to develop it. Thank you very much.

Would like to ask, how do you close a running python file, like those that required you to press Ctrl + C to stop those kind of close

What to do if some external apps are causing your app to not respond what to do then ?

[sheilaquan]

I try to run my gui.exe to open someone else's .exe file and it shows failed to execute the exe. The spyder window shows the .exe file is not recognized as an internal or external command. I can open the .exe by double click the icon but can't with the code in my gui. I can run other exe such as Zoom and Teams..dont know why ...

[Skfiehab]

Every file says that erno 2 no such file or dir

If I wanted to take this further and open a specific program, but instead of opening the application traditionally in its own window, I wanted to open it within the Python GUI Box, how could I do that?
Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the video, it was really helpful.
I would like to ask; how do you export the input data from tkinter into other external modules?
Thanks for helping
