I am trying to make a "command generator" for a game where the user can input numbers into text boxes and my program will generate the command for them. I have this working almost perfectly, but the generated command is printed to the console, I want it to input to the GUI.
Sorry if my code is messy or not done the most efficient way, I am brand new to programming.
from tkinter import *
#Create window that is 500x500
window = Tk()
window.geometry("500x500")
#This is the final command that is outputted
def save():
print("/" + var2.get() + " " + entryx1.get() + " " + entryy1.get() + " " + entryz1.get() + " " + entryx2.get() + " " + entryy2.get()
+ " " + entryz2.get() + " " + var1.get())
#This is what you call when you want to display the dropdown input
var2 = StringVar()
#Creating the dropdown
drop2 = OptionMenu(window,var2,"fill","setblock")
drop2.configure(font=("Arial",10))
#This makes the text that displays in the window
coordx1 = Label(window,text="First X Coordinate: ")
coordy1 = Label(window,text="First Y Coordinate: ")
coordz1 = Label(window,text="First Z Coordinate: ")
coordx2 = Label(window,text="Second X Coordinate: ")
coordy2 = Label(window,text="Second Y Coordinate: ")
coordz2 = Label(window,text="Second Z Coordinate: ")
result = Label(window,text=save)
#This makes the text boxes that the user types in
entryx1 = Entry(window)
entryy1 = Entry(window)
entryz1 = Entry(window)
entryx2 = Entry(window)
entryy2 = Entry(window)
entryz2 = Entry(window)
#This is the submit button
submit = Button(window,text="Submit",command=save)
#Second dropdown variable
var1=StringVar()
#Creation of second dropdown list
drop1 = OptionMenu(window,var1,"destroy","hollow","keep","outline","replace")
drop1.configure(font=("Arial",10))
dropdownLabel = Label(window,text="Selector: ")
dropdownLabel2 = Label(window,text="Command: ")
#This says what goes where. 'E' and 'W' represent East and West
coordx1.grid(row=1,sticky=E)
coordy1.grid(row=2,sticky=E)
coordz1.grid(row=3,sticky=E)
coordx2.grid(row=4,sticky=E)
coordy2.grid(row=5,sticky=E)
coordz2.grid(row=6,sticky=E)
entryx1.grid(row=1,column=1)
entryy1.grid(row=2,column=1)
entryz1.grid(row=3,column=1)
entryx2.grid(row=4,column=1)
entryy2.grid(row=5,column=1)
entryz2.grid(row=6,column=1)
dropdownLabel.grid(row=7,column=0,sticky=E)
dropdownLabel2.grid(row=0,column=0,sticky=E)
drop1.grid(row=7,column=1,sticky=W)
drop2.grid(row=0,column=1,sticky=W)
submit.grid(row=8,columnspan=2,sticky=E)
mainloop()
To be clear, I want the function save() to be printed onto the GUI
First, you didn't grid your result Label.
Secondly, you can change your save() function to modify the result text everytime.
from tkinter import *
#Create window that is 500x500
window = Tk()
window.geometry("500x500")
#This is the final command that is outputted
def save():
result.config(text="/" + var2.get() + " " + entryx1.get() + " " + entryy1.get() + " " + entryz1.get() + " " + entryx2.get() + " " + entryy2.get()+ " " + entryz2.get() + " " + var1.get())
#This is what you call when you want to display the dropdown input
var2 = StringVar()
#Creating the dropdown
drop2 = OptionMenu(window,var2,"fill","setblock")
drop2.configure(font=("Arial",10))
#This makes the text that displays in the window
coordx1 = Label(window,text="First X Coordinate: ")
coordy1 = Label(window,text="First Y Coordinate: ")
coordz1 = Label(window,text="First Z Coordinate: ")
coordx2 = Label(window,text="Second X Coordinate: ")
coordy2 = Label(window,text="Second Y Coordinate: ")
coordz2 = Label(window,text="Second Z Coordinate: ")
result = Label(window,text=save)
#This makes the text boxes that the user types in
entryx1 = Entry(window)
entryy1 = Entry(window)
entryz1 = Entry(window)
entryx2 = Entry(window)
entryy2 = Entry(window)
entryz2 = Entry(window)
#This is the submit button
submit = Button(window,text="Submit",command=save)
#Second dropdown variable
var1=StringVar()
#Creation of second dropdown list
drop1 = OptionMenu(window,var1,"destroy","hollow","keep","outline","replace")
drop1.configure(font=("Arial",10))
dropdownLabel = Label(window,text="Selector: ")
dropdownLabel2 = Label(window,text="Command: ")
#This says what goes where. 'E' and 'W' represent East and West
coordx1.grid(row=1,sticky=E)
coordy1.grid(row=2,sticky=E)
coordz1.grid(row=3,sticky=E)
coordx2.grid(row=4,sticky=E)
coordy2.grid(row=5,sticky=E)
coordz2.grid(row=6,sticky=E)
entryx1.grid(row=1,column=1)
entryy1.grid(row=2,column=1)
entryz1.grid(row=3,column=1)
entryx2.grid(row=4,column=1)
entryy2.grid(row=5,column=1)
entryz2.grid(row=6,column=1)
dropdownLabel.grid(row=7,column=0,sticky=E)
dropdownLabel2.grid(row=0,column=0,sticky=E)
drop1.grid(row=7,column=1,sticky=W)
drop2.grid(row=0,column=1,sticky=W)
submit.grid(row=8,columnspan=2,sticky=E)
result.grid(row=9,columnspan=1)
window.mainloop()
This should do the trick.
