so i was learning the ctk module and reached a dead end i searched so much for this and i didnt get a awnser heres my question: how can i stick the search button to the entry and make other things look better, my code:
from customtkinter import *
from PIL import Image
from PyDictionary import PyDictionary
import pyttsx3
from tkinter import messagebox
audio_dictionary = CTk()
engine = pyttsx3.init()
info_lbl = CTkLabel(audio_dictionary, text=" TajDictionary", font=("Agency FB", 60))
info_lbl.grid(column=0, row=0)
entry = CTkEntry(audio_dictionary, placeholder_text="Write the word: ", border_color="#1F6AA5", width=300, height=35)
entry.grid(column=0, row=1)
def search():
if ' ' in entry.get():
if entry.get()[-1] == ' ':
text_box.delete(1.0, END)
result = PyDictionary().meaning(entry.get())
text_box.insert(1.0, f"{entry.get()}: {result}")
else:
messagebox.showerror("ERROR", "Only one letter")
elif any(char.isdigit() for char in entry.get()):
messagebox.showerror("ERROR", "Only letters")
elif entry.get() == "" or entry.get() == " ":
messagebox.showerror("ERROR", "The box is empty")
else:
text_box.delete(1.0, END)
result = PyDictionary().meaning(entry.get())
text_box.insert(1.0, f"{entry.get()}: {result}")
img1 = Image.open("search_magnifier.png")
search_btn = CTkButton(audio_dictionary, text="", width=30, height=35, image=CTkImage(dark_image=img1), command=search)
search_btn.grid(column=1, row=1)
def speech():
engine.say(entry.get())
engine.runAndWait()
img2 = Image.open("speaker.png")
audio_btn = CTkButton(audio_dictionary, text="", image=CTkImage(dark_image=img2), width=10, height=35, command=speech)
audio_btn.grid(column=0, row=2)
def clear():
entry.delete(0, END)
clear = CTkButton(audio_dictionary, text="Clear", command=clear, text_color="black")
clear.grid(column=1, row=2)
text_box = CTkTextbox(audio_dictionary, width=400, height=300, font=("arial", 20))
text_box.grid(column=0, row=3)
audio_dictionary.mainloop()
i tried the grids, sides of pack, pady but i didn't get any satisfying result
To make your app more clear and organized, you should use frames.
A frame is a widget containing other widgets.
So in your case here, you could put the search button and the entry in the same frame so they stay together, and then pack / grid / place the frame to the window.
Here is an example of how a frame works:
from customtkinter import *
window = CTk()
window.geometry("300x300")
frame = CTkFrame(window)
entry_in_frame = CTkEntry(frame)
entry_in_frame.pack(side="right")
button_in_frame = CTkButton(frame, text="I'm in the frame")
button_in_frame.pack(side="left")
frame.pack(side="top")
button_not_in_frame = CTkButton(window, text="I'm not in the frame")
button_not_in_frame.pack(side="bottom")
window.mainloop()
In this example, I created a frame containing an entry and a button and another button not in the frame.
Frames have a different background color, if you want to make it the same as the window's background, you can change the frame creation line to frame = CTkFrame(window, fg_color="transparent")
If you need more informations on frames, check the documentation at https://customtkinter.tomschimansky.com/documentation/widgets/frame or add a comment on my answer.
Hope I helped you, have a nice day.
