I have created a mock search engine using Tkinter. I want the user to input the word "test" in the search engine and hit submit. This should return an alert. If the user inserts anything other than the word "test", then I want the search engine to return nothing. I have already created the interface for the mock search engine but the part that takes in user input isn't working. Here is my code below:
import tkinter as tk
root = tk.Tk()
canvas1=tk.Canvas(root,width=400,height=300,relief='raised')
canvas1.pack()
label1 = tk.Label(root,text='LookUp')
label1.config(fg='blue',font=('times',30,'bold'))
canvas1.create_window(200,100,window=label1)
entry1 = tk.Entry (root)
canvas1.create_window(200,140,window=entry1)
def values():
userinput = tk.StringVar(entry1.get())
if userinput == 'test':
Output = ('Alert Executed')
label_Output = tk.Label(root,text=Alert,bg='red')
canvas1.create_window(270,200,window=label_Output)
else:
Output = ('')
label_Output = tk.Label(root,text= Alert)
canvas1.create_window(270,200,window=label_Output)
button1=tk.Button(root,text='Search',command=values,bg='green',fg='white')
canvas1.create_window(200,180,window=button1)
root.mainloop()
The userinput
variable needs to refer to entry1.get()
The label_Output
needs to have your Output
variable as its text
import tkinter as tk
root = tk.Tk()
canvas1=tk.Canvas(root,width=400,height=300,relief='raised')
canvas1.pack()
label1 = tk.Label(root,text='LookUp')
label1.config(fg='blue',font=('times',30,'bold'))
canvas1.create_window(200,100,window=label1)
entry1 = tk.Entry (root)
canvas1.create_window(200,140,window=entry1)
def values():
userinput = entry1.get()
if userinput == 'test':
Output = ('Alert Executed')
label_Output = tk.Label(root,text=Output,bg='red')
canvas1.create_window(270,200,window=label_Output)
else:
Output = ('')
label_Output = tk.Label(root,text= Output)
canvas1.create_window(270,200,window=label_Output)
button1=tk.Button(root,text='Search',command=values,bg='green',fg='white')
canvas1.create_window(200,180,window=button1)
root.mainloop()
