I have this little Tkinter treeview program where data is being displayed in form of table and there is also a button there. So what I want to know is to be able to hide and display the data of table just by clicking the same display button. like if i click once it shows and when i click it again it hides its data.
With data I mean all IDs and Names it showing
from tkinter import ttk
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import *
ID = [1,2,3,4,5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
Names = ['Tom', 'Rob', 'Tim', 'Jim', 'Kim', 'Kim', 'Kim', 'Kim']
window = tk.Tk()
window.state('zoomed')
treev = ttk.Treeview(window, selectmode ='browse')
treev.place(width= 250, height= 500, x=300, y=100)
verscrlbar = ttk.Scrollbar(window,
orient ="vertical",
command = treev.yview)
verscrlbar.pack(side ='right', fill ='y')
treev.configure(yscrollcommand = verscrlbar.set)
treev["columns"] = ('1', '2')
treev['show'] = 'headings'
treev.column("1", width = 90, anchor ='c')
treev.column("2", width = 90, anchor ='c')
treev.heading("1", text ="ID")
treev.heading("2", text ="Names")
for x, y in zip(ID, Names):
treev.insert("", 'end', values =(x, y))
displaybutton = Button(window, text="Display", width=15, height=2, background= 'brown')
displaybutton.place(x=600, y=400)
window.mainloop()
We create this by simply inserting the values in the treeview on click and for the next click we can delete everything we inserted in the treeview.
a = 2
def showhide():
global a
if a%2 == 0:
for x, y in zip(ID, Names):
treev.insert("", 'end', values =(x, y))
a= a+1
else:
c = treev.get_children()
for child in c:
treev.delete(child)
a= a+1
