Student Registration + Management System in Tkinter | Part 7

Welcome to Part 7 of our tutorial series on creating a student registration and management system using Tkinter in Python. In this installment, we will be focusing on implementing the search functionality for our system.

Implementing the Search Functionality

Now that we have a system in place for adding and viewing student records, it’s time to add the ability to search for specific students. To do this, we will need to create a search form where users can enter the student’s ID or name, and then display the results based on the search query.

We will create a new window for the search form, with input fields for the student’s ID and name. When the user submits the form, we will query our database for matching records and display them in a table.

Code Implementation

Let’s start by creating the UI for the search form. We can use Tkinter’s Label, Entry, and Button widgets to create input fields and a search button. We will also create a table to display the search results using the Treeview widget.

      
        <label>Search by ID or Name:</label>
        <input type="text" id="searchInput" />
        <button onclick="search()">Search</button>
        <table id="searchResults"></table>
      
    

Next, we will write the JavaScript function to handle the search functionality. This function will make an AJAX request to our server, passing the search query as a parameter. The server will then query the database and return the matching records, which we will display in the table.

      
        function search() {
          var searchQuery = document.getElementById('searchInput').value;
          // Make AJAX request to server with searchQuery
          // Display results in searchResults table
        }
      
    

Conclusion

With the search functionality implemented, our student registration and management system is now even more versatile and user-friendly. Users can easily search for specific students and view their details without having to scroll through a long list of records. In the next part of the series, we will look at adding the ability to update and delete student records.
