Introduction
In this blog, I am going to create a message box that asks retry or cancel, in Python GUI application. When a user clicks “Exit” from the Action menu, it will ask for the user’s choice as - retry or cancel - in the application screen.
Software requirement
Python 3.5 and IDLE (Python 3.5)
Programming code
-
- import tkinter as tk
- from tkinter import ttk
- from tkinter import Menu
- from tkinter import messagebox as mbox
- app = tk.Tk()
-
- app.title("Python GUI App")
-
- ttk.Label(app, text="Retry or Cancel action Box").grid(column=0,row=0,padx=20,pady=30)
-
- menuBar=Menu(app)
- app.config(menu=menuBar)
-
- def _msgBox():
- mbox.askretrycancel ('Retry or Cancel action Box','Choose the action')
-
- msgMenu=Menu(menuBar, tearoff=0)
- msgMenu.add_command(label="Exit", command=_msgBox)
- menuBar.add_cascade(label="Action", menu=msgMenu)
-
- app.mainloop()
About the code
First, I am importing the tkinter modules.
Next, assign a class and variables and give the application title.
Next, create a menu bar and add a menu item in the menu bar.
Next, create ask message function and add “Retry” or “Cancel” options in displaying the command menu.
Finally, I have started the windows event loop by calling the mainloop method.
Then, let’s execute the code.
