I can disable the calendar widget with the 'Disable' button, but if I want to reactivate it, I get the following error:
tkinter.TclError: unknown option "-normal"
If i try to use the calendar.config(state="normal")
command, I get the following error:
tkinter.TclError: unknown option "-state"
import tkinter as tk
import ttkbootstrap as ttk
def disable_calendar():
calend["state"]="disabled"
def enable_calendar():
calend["state"]="normal"
root = ttk.Window()
root.geometry("400x400")
calend = ttk.DateEntry(bootstyle="primary")
calend.place(x=10, y=10)
disableCalendar_button = ttk.Button(text = "Disable", width=10, command=disable_calendar)
disableCalendar_button.place(x=10, y=50)
enableCalendar_button = ttk.Button(text = "Enable", width=10, command=enable_calendar)
enableCalendar_button.place(x=100, y=50)
root.mainloop()
Looking at the source code for the ttkbootstrap DateEntry
widget shows that it inherits from the ttk.Frame
class, which itself doesn't accept state
changes. However, it looks like the following states are allowed because DateEntry
overrides the built-in configure
method:
'disabled'
'readonly'
'invalid'
As far as I can tell, the default "normal" state is 'readonly'
, but I'm not sure.
class DateEntry(ttk.Frame)
...
def _configure_set(self, **kwargs):
"""Override configure method to allow for setting custom
DateEntry parameters"""
if "state" in kwargs:
state = kwargs.pop("state")
if state in ["readonly", "invalid"]:
self.entry.configure(state=state)
elif state == "disabled":
self.entry.configure(state=state)
self.button.configure(state=state)
else:
kwargs[state] = state
