I've got this problem where i want my program to show a messageebox if an entry field is empty. There's function that runs when a button is clicked, it will get all the data from the entry fields in the frame class and place them into a spreadsheet file. All the entry fields are stored in another function. I also have another class called emailframe. This is the code for the button function:
def getVal(self):
try:
path = str(tm.strftime("%d-%m-%Y")) + ' - ' + str(tm.strftime("%A")) + '.xlsx'
wb = xl.load_workbook(path)
ws = wb.active
entry_list = [child for child in root.winfo_children()
if isinstance(child, tk.Entry)]
for entry in entry_list:
if not entry.get():
msgbox.showinfo('Daily Accounts', 'Enter in to entry fields.')
else:
ws['B3'] = float(self.entryBags.get())
ws['B4'] = float(self.entryNotes.get())
ws['B5'] = float(self.entry2pound.get())
ws['B6'] = float(self.entry1pound.get())
ws['B7'] = float(self.entry50p.get())
ws['B8'] = float(self.entry20p.get())
ws['B9'] = float(self.entry10p.get())
ws['B10'] = float(self.entry5p.get())
ws['B11'] = float(self.entry2p.get())
ws['B12'] = float(self.entry1p.get())
ws['B14'] = float(self.entryPrevTill.get())
ws['B16'] = float(self.entryCard.get())
ws['B17'] = float(self.entryCash.get())
wb.save(path)
app = xw.App(visible = False)
book = xw.Book(path)
ws2 = book.sheets[0]
total_till = str(ws2.range('B13').value)
till = str(ws2.range('B15').value)
day_total = str(ws2.range('B18').value)
self.lblTotalTillDisplay.configure(text = '£' + total_till)
self.lblLeftTillDisplay.configure(text = '£' + till)
self.lbldaytotal2.configure(text = '£' + day_total)
msgbox.showinfo('', 'Data Submitted.')
book.close()
app.kill()
except IOError:
msgbox.showinfo('Daily Accounts', 'New Day has not been created.')
I tried to use the winfo_children function to get all the entry fields but im not sure if it worked since i have other entryfields in another class which i dont want to retrieve.
This is the main part of the rest of my code:

Sorry for the long code, trying to get as much information out as possible.
This would be an ideal place to use a custom Entry widget and a class method. The custom widget would inherit from tk.Entry so it would have all the attributes of a normal Entry widget:
class Ashki(tk.Entry):
elements = []
def __init__(self, master=None, **kwargs):
tk.Entry.__init__(self, master, **kwargs)
self.elements.append(self)
@classmethod
def all_filled(cls):
return all(entry.get() for entry in cls.elements)
Now, in every place that you want to include in the check, use Ashki instead of tk.Entry.
self.entryBags = Ashki(self.frame, validate = 'key', validatecommand = vcmd)
self.entryBags.place(x = 100, y = 40)
Then in your check method you can use this code:
if not Ashki.all_filled():
msgbox.showinfo('Daily Accounts', 'Enter in to entry fields.')
return # abort this method
