I Can't Seem To Return A Specific Value From A List Created By A Loop Of Entry Boxes.

I can't seem to get the function addDetails to return a specific item in list newDetails that is created from appending the inputs from entry boxes I created from a loop. Please he

Solution 1:

print(newDetails[1]) returns str representation of an Entry object as expected. If one needs to get the input of an Entry, get method can be used instead:

def addDetails():
    print(newDetails[1].get())

Solution 2:

You can run this for getting desired output

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import*
from tkinter import ttk
import csv

win = tk.Tk()
win.title("RFBM Scaffolding Dashboard")
win.configure(background="grey30")

newDetails = []
contactInfo = ["Customer Name", "Home Number", "Mobile Number"] 


contactInfoFrame = ttk.LabelFrame(win, text ='Contact Information')
contactInfoFrame.grid(column=0,row=1, columnspan=2)

for row in range(len(contactInfo)):
    curLabel = contactInfo[row]
    curLabel = ttk.Label(contactInfoFrame, text=contactInfo[row]+":")
    curLabel.grid(column=0, row=(row), sticky=tk.W)

for i in range(len(contactInfo)):
     details = Entry(contactInfoFrame, textvariable = newDetails)
     details.grid(row=i, column=1)
     newDetails.append(details)

def addDetails():
    for i in range(len(newDetails)):
        print(newDetails[i].get())

button=Button(win,text="Add Details",command=addDetails).grid(row=12,column=0)


win.mainloop()
