tkinter creating buttons in for loop passing command arguments

Question

I am trying to create buttons in tkinter within a for loop. And with each loop pass the i count value out as an argument in the command value. So when the function is called

Answer 1

Simply attach your buttons scope within a lambda function like this:

btn["command"] = lambda btn=btn: click(btn) where click(btn) is the function that passes in the button itself. This will create a binding scope from the button to the function itself.

Features:

• Customize gridsize
• Responsive resizing
• Toggle active state
