Getting the selected value from combobox in Tkinter

Question

I\'ve made a simple combobox in python using Tkinter, I want to retrieve the value selected by the user. After searching, I think I can do this by binding an event of select

Answer 1

from tkinter import ttk
from tkinter import messagebox
from tkinter import Tk



root = Tk()

root.geometry("400x400")
#^ width - heghit window :D


cmb = ttk.Combobox(root, width="10", values=("prova","ciao","come","stai"))
#cmb = Combobox

class TableDropDown(ttk.Combobox):
    def __init__(self, parent):
        self.current_table = tk.StringVar() # create variable for table
        ttk.Combobox.__init__(self, parent)#  init widget
        self.config(textvariable = self.current_table, state = "readonly", values = ["Customers", "Pets", "Invoices", "Prices"])
        self.current(0) # index of values for current table
        self.place(x = 50, y = 50, anchor = "w") # place drop down box 

def checkcmbo():

    if cmb.get() == "prova":
        messagebox.showinfo("What user choose", "you choose prova")

    elif cmb.get() == "ciao":
        messagebox.showinfo("What user choose", "you choose ciao")

    elif cmb.get() == "come":
        messagebox.showinfo("What user choose", "you choose come")

    elif cmb.get() == "stai":
        messagebox.showinfo("What user choose", "you choose stai")

    elif cmb.get() == "":
        messagebox.showinfo("nothing to show!", "you have to be choose something")




cmb.place(relx="0.1",rely="0.1")

btn = ttk.Button(root, text="Get Value",command=checkcmbo)
btn.place(relx="0.5",rely="0.1")

root.mainloop()

Answer 2

I've figured out what's wrong in the code.

First, as James said the brackets should be removed when binding justamethod to the combobox.

Second, regarding the type error, this is because justamethod is an event handler, so it should take two parameters, self and event, like this,

def justamethod (self, event): 

After making these changes the code is working well.
