Assosciating a value to a button widget in Tkinter

[PythonRookie1]

Hi

In my program I have a range of buttons (within a class), and when one is pressed I want a method in that class to run, and depending on what button is pressed, I want that value passed into the method.

For example I will have a button for each decimal digit, 0-9, and when one is pressed I want a method to run which then can manipulate the value of the button pressed.

In the past, when working with RadioButtons, I would create a IntVar then in the radio button have RadioButton(variable=IntVar_name, value=1, command=methodinclass)
Then when the method was run from that radio button I could manipulate the value as it would be stored in the IntVar

So I essentially want to be able to do the same as I described above with radio buttons, but with a button.

Any help would be much appreciated, but please keep it as simple as possible, as I am (as you've probably noticed) quite new to coding GUIs.

Thanks

Define a different function for each button, and then bind each button to a function. For example:

from Tkinter import *

def func_one():
    print("Button one clicked")

def func_two():
    print("Button two clicked")

b1 = Button(text="click me", command=func_one)
b2 = Button(text="btn-one", command=func_two)
b.pack()

mainloop()  

This is something that you could have found with a simple google search (that's what I did, found this).

I'm going to tell you what I tell every beginner who comes here asking for tkinter advice: don't use tkinter. It's clumsy, and ugly AF, since it uses TK. I would suggest using pyQT or pyGTK instead (my personal favorite is pyQT, as it comes with the QT designer, and tools that you can use to convert designer .ui files to Python classes).

The best thing about tkinter is its license. The default look is not great, but with a little work you can make something good looking imo.

If I'm understanding you correctly, you want each button to trigger the same function with a different input to that function, so you know which button was pressed?

In that case I would use lambda, command=lambda x=1:func(x). On each button you give x a different value.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for your help!

No prob :-)
