I'm trying to write the 'ping' output to a text box that will be created in the 'output' tkinter frame When I press the 'Submit' button while writing the output to file.
Questions:
1: Is there a way to place the text box inside the 'output' frame?
2: How can I print lines from files inside the 'output' frame?
3: How can I use threading or multiproccess to display the output in realtime?
Before clicking 'Submit':

After clicking 'Submit':
First, you have to make the output frame available or else you can't access it later:
self.output = tk.LabelFrame(self, text="Output", height=350, width=70)
self.output.pack(side=tk.BOTTOM, fill="both", expand=True)
Then, in the testPing()
class pingURL()
method you can pack the Text()
widget in the output labelframe:
text = tk.Text(self.controller.output, height=5, width=100, wrap=tk.WORD)
I don't know about using threading or multiproccess. In general I think you will get a better response if you post questions for each of your problems instead of listing them in the same question.
