Get the value of a Checkbutton (TK)
Post by Amina Delali, March 15th, 2022
Description
In this code I create a button that will allow me to get the value of a Checkbutton using a Python Tkinter TK Checkbutton widget,a button, and a label that will be used to display the value of the Checkbutton.
So the command property of the Button will be the function that will actually get the value of the Checkbutton
The Checkbutton can have only 2 values associated with its state: 1 (if checked) and 0 if not checked.
The Code
""" How to create and get the value of a checkbutton"""
from tkinter import Tk, Checkbutton, Button, Label
from tkinter import IntVar
main_window = Tk()
main_window.geometry ('800x400+250+200')
main_window.title("Checkbutton")
var = IntVar()
labVal = Label(main_window, text="", bg="white", fg="green", font=("Times",14))
labVal.pack(pady=10)
def get_value():
""" Get the value of Checkbutton and print it on the Label"""
labVal["text"]=str(var.get())
chB = Checkbutton(main_window, text="I am a check button", variable = var, font=("Times",12))
chB.pack(pady=50)
buttonGV = Button(main_window, text="Get the value of the Check Button",
bg="green", fg="white", font=("Times",12), command=get_value)
buttonGV.pack(pady=50)
main_window.mainloop()
The Output
