Updating a python Tkinter frame

Question

I am having difficulty updating a python Tkinter frame. I draw the frame with some labels and text fields, when a person presses a button, I want to do some calculations and up

Answer 1

Your problem is that you do not attach the Variable to the widget. In addition you need to use a StringVar, as the Label Widget operates on Strings and not Ints.

Try something like:

self.countStr = StringVar()
self.countStr.set(str(self.count))
Label(self.countFrame, textvariable=self.countStr).pack(side=RIGHT, padx=5)

Tk updates the display when the eventloop is idle. So you need to re-enter the event loop after you set the new value.

Answer 2

You should try destroying the label itself and making it again in the code with the updated text and use self.root.update()
