IslandT: Create the input text box with tkinter

In the previous post, I have written a python program to create the database, earning table as well as input the first row of data into the earning table. In this chapter, I will create a simple UI to accept the user’s input so we do not need to hardcoded the values into the SQL query. I will leave the SQL commit code to the next chapter, we will only create a simple input’s UI in this chapter first.

A description box and the earning box of the Earning Input user interface

As you can see I will create the above simple UI with tkinter which can then be further upgraded in the future to include more stuff.

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk

win = tk.Tk()

win.title("Earning Input")

def submit():
    pass

#create label frame for ui
earn= ttk.Labelframe(win, text = "Daily Earning Input")
earn.grid(column=0, row=0, padx=4, pady=4)
# create label for description
dLabel = ttk.Label(earn, text="Description:").grid(column=0, row=0)
# create text box for description
description = tk.StringVar()
descriptionEntry = ttk.Entry(earn, width=13, textvariable=description)
descriptionEntry.grid(column=1, row=0)

# create label for earning
eLabel = ttk.Label(earn, text="Earning:").grid(column=2, row=0)
# create text box for earning
earning = tk.StringVar()
earningEntry = ttk.Entry(earn, width=13, textvariable=earning)
earningEntry.grid(column=3, row=0)
# create the action button
action = ttk.Button(earn, text="submit", command=submit)
action.grid(column=5, row=0)

win.resizable(0,0)

win.mainloop()

I will write a program to submit the above data to the earning table in the next chapter.
