Hi there! today I just wanted to discuss the python desktop ui. Actually, I have been researching the topic for the last few months then I just got a simple method to do so.

Python is a programming language with many features and libraries that can be used to create desktop GUI applications. One such library is Tkinter, which is a standard GUI library for Python. In this article, we will see how to create a Python desktop GUI application using Tkinter.

We will first see how to create a simple popup window using Tkinter. Then, we will see how to add various widgets to the window. Finally, we will see how to connect the application to a database.

Creating a Python desktop GUI application can be a fun and rewarding experience. With Tkinter, you can easily create a Python desktop GUI application that looks great and is also easy to use.

Python is a very strong programing language and can be used for various other purposes of example: Extracting Images from a Video.

Please be with this blog till the end. Please follow the steps for python desktop ui:

  1. Create a directory and then install python v3, pip, pipenvTkinter, pyinstaller, tkmessagebox.
  2. Create a file i.e. desktop_main.py
# Create python file inside your project folder
C:\Users\COM\Desktop\pydesktop> touch desktop_main.py

Inside the dektop_main.py

from tkinter import *
def populate_list():
    print('Populate')
def add_item():
    print('Add')
# dektop window create
app = Tk()
name_text = StringVar()
name_label = Label(app, text='Full Name : ', font=('bold', 14), pady=20)
name_label.grid(row=0, column=0, sticky=W)
name_entry = Entry(app, textvariable=name_text)
name_entry.grid(row=0,column=1)


#name list box
name_list = Listbox(app, height=8, width=50)
name_list.grid(row=3, column=0, columnspan=3, rowspan=6, pady=20, padx=20)
#scrillbar
scrollbar = Scrollbar(app)
scrollbar.grid(row=3, column=3)
name_list.configure(yscrollcommand=scrollbar.set)
scrollbar.configure(command=name_list.yview)


#button
add_button = Button(app, text='Add Name', width=12, command=add_item)
add_button.grid(row=2, column=0, pady=20)
#window title
app.title('Main Window')
#window dimensions
app.geometry('850x450')
populate_list()
#start app
app.mainloop()

Will explain the above peace of code in the next blog.
