Creating a Graphical User Interface Application with Python PySimpleGUI – Tutorial 22

In this tutorial, we will learn how to create a frame element GUI app using PySimpleGUI in Python. Frames are a great way to group elements and organize them within a window in a user-friendly way. PySimpleGUI is a powerful GUI library that allows you to create simple and complex GUI applications with ease.

To get started, you will need to have Python installed on your computer. You can download Python from the official website and install it on your machine.

Next, you will need to install PySimpleGUI. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal or command prompt:

pip install PySimpleGUI

Once you have PySimpleGUI installed, you can start creating your frame element GUI app.

Here’s a simple example of a frame element GUI app using PySimpleGUI:

import PySimpleGUI as sg

# Define the layout of the GUI
layout = [
    [sg.Text("Frame Example", font=("Helvetica", 20))],
    [sg.Frame("Frame 1", layout=[
        [sg.Text("Enter your name: "), sg.Input(key="-NAME-")],
        [sg.Button("Submit")]
    ])],
    [sg.Frame("Frame 2", layout=[
        [sg.Text("Enter your age: "), sg.Input(key="-AGE-")],
        [sg.Button("Submit")]
    ])]
]

# Create the GUI window
window = sg.Window("Frame Element GUI App", layout)

while True:
    event, values = window.read()

    if event == sg.WIN_CLOSED:
        break

    if event == "Submit":
        name = values["-NAME-"]
        age = values["-AGE-"]

        sg.popup(f"Hello, {name}! You are {age} years old.")

window.close()

In this example, we create a simple GUI app with two frames. Each frame contains a text input field and a submit button. When the user clicks the submit button, a popup message is displayed with the entered name and age.

You can customize the layout and behavior of the frame element GUI app by adding more elements, changing the styling, and adding event handling logic.

I hope this tutorial helps you get started with creating frame element GUI apps using PySimpleGUI in Python. Happy coding!
