Python PySimpleGUI Tutorial: Creating Popups – Part 2

In this tutorial, we will learn how to create popups using Python’s PySimpleGUI library. Popups are a great way to display important information to users in a visually appealing and interactive manner. PySimpleGUI makes it easy to create popups with various options and customization features.

To get started with PySimpleGUI, you will need to install the library using pip. 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 popups in your Python script. Here’s an example of a simple popup that displays a message box to the user:

import PySimpleGUI as sg

sg.popup('Hello, World!')

In this code snippet, we import PySimpleGUI as sg and then use the sg.popup() function to display a message box with the text ‘Hello, World!’. You can customize the message and appearance of the popup by passing additional arguments to the sg.popup() function.

For example, you can change the title of the popup using the title argument:

sg.popup('Hello, World!', title='My Popup Title')

You can also add buttons to the popup using the custom_text argument:

sg.popup('Hello, World!', custom_text=('OK', 'Cancel'))

You can handle button clicks in the popup by assigning the return value of sg.popup() to a variable and checking which button was clicked:

result = sg.popup('Hello, World!', custom_text=('OK', 'Cancel'))
if result == 'OK':
    print('OK button clicked')
else:
    print('Cancel button clicked')

PySimpleGUI also provides other types of popups, such as sg.popup_get_text() for getting user input and sg.popup_yes_no() for asking yes/no questions.

user_input = sg.popup_get_text('Enter your name:')
sg.popup_yes_no('Do you like Python?')

These are just a few examples of the many ways you can create popups with PySimpleGUI. I recommend exploring the PySimpleGUI documentation for more information and examples on popups and other GUI elements.

In this tutorial, we learned how to create popups using PySimpleGUI in Python. Popups are a great way to display information to users in an interactive and visually appealing manner. With PySimpleGUI, you can easily customize popups with various options and features to suit your needs. I hope this tutorial was helpful in getting you started with creating popups in PySimpleGUI.
