Creating a Fully Functional User Interface with PySimpleGUI by Gnubesoft

Posted by


Gnubesoft is a company that specializes in developing user-friendly and functional graphical user interfaces (UI) using the PySimpleGUI library. PySimpleGUI is a Python library that allows developers to easily create and implement UIs for their projects with minimal code. In this tutorial, we will walk through the process of creating a fully functional UI with Gnubesoft and PySimpleGUI.

Step 1: Installing PySimpleGUI

The first step is to install the PySimpleGUI library if you haven’t already. You can install PySimpleGUI using pip by running the following command in your terminal:

pip install PySimpleGUI

Step 2: Setting up your project

Create a new Python script file for your project. In this script, you will import the PySimpleGUI library and start building your UI. You can use any code editor of your choice to write the script.

Step 3: Building your UI

To create a UI with PySimpleGUI, you will need to define the layout of your interface. The layout is a list of elements that define the structure and components of the UI. Here is an example code snippet to create a simple UI with a text input field and a button:

import PySimpleGUI as sg

layout = [
    [sg.Text('Enter your name:'), sg.InputText()],
    [sg.Button('Submit')]
]

window = sg.Window('Simple UI Example', layout)

while True:
    event, values = window.read()
    if event == sg.WIN_CLOSED or event == 'Submit':
        break

window.close()

In this example, we create a simple UI with a text input field and a submit button. We use the sg.Text and sg.InputText elements to create a text label and an input field respectively. The sg.Button element is used to create a button that the user can click.

Step 4: Adding functionality

Now that we have a basic UI, let’s add some functionality to the submit button. We can display a pop-up message with the input value when the button is clicked. Here is the updated code:

import PySimpleGUI as sg

layout = [
    [sg.Text('Enter your name:'), sg.InputText()],
    [sg.Button('Submit')]
]

window = sg.Window('Simple UI Example', layout)

while True:
    event, values = window.read()
    if event == sg.WIN_CLOSED or event == 'Submit':
        sg.popup('Hello, ' + values[0])
        break

window.close()

In this code, we use the sg.popup function to display a pop-up message with the input value when the submit button is clicked.

Step 5: Enhancing your UI

You can enhance your UI by adding more elements such as checkboxes, radio buttons, dropdown menus, tabs, and more. You can also customize the appearance of your UI by changing the colors, fonts, sizes, and styles of the elements.

Gnubesoft specializes in creating fully functional and visually appealing UIs using PySimpleGUI. With their expertise, you can create professional-looking interfaces for your projects in no time. So go ahead and start building your own UI with Gnubesoft and PySimpleGUI!

Thank you so much for the practical tutorials!
I have one question though about PysimpleGui if you don't mind I ask here.

Do you know how to open(read only) selected multiple items (files with different formats) at once in Listbox output using PysimpleGui..also to SAVE them at once when an event (either Read or Save) is triggered by clicking right_click_menu ?

I was able to code select multiple items in the Listbox after searching files with specific term and do right click to choose read or save. But struggling to operate the those right click menu: especially open(read only) one to many selected files or save them at once in selected location by user or default path like (user's download folder),,
Can you please help?

Hi Tim, enjoying the series. How can I pass a variable that was input from the GUI into the background object so as to affect changes in the background process ?. Thanks

Tim one thing I am running into is not clearing out the InputTextBox after the button press event. The text remains in the box and does not clear

Do you have any solution to identical event names? Like I'm making a GUI, where there are couple of buttons and when the user clicks on them it opens up another layout with more stuff, and both of these layouts have an "Ok" and "Cancel" button. How would I say what to do if the event names are the same? It's annoying to change the standard names to something different everytime.

All that code to make a simple popup box that does almost nothing. Do you know what a "fully functioning UI" is?
