RadioButton List in Python using Tkinter for Short Coding Tasks 🐍🔍

In this tutorial, we will be discussing how to create a RadioButton list in Python using the tkinter library. RadioButton lists are used to present users with a list of options, where only one option can be selected at a time. This is commonly used in forms, surveys, and other user interface elements.

To get started, make sure you have Python installed on your computer. If you don’t have it installed already, you can download it from the official Python website (https://www.python.org/). Once you have Python installed, you can start creating your RadioButton list using the tkinter library.

First, you will need to import the tkinter library by adding the following line of code at the beginning of your Python script:

import tkinter as tk

Next, you will need to create a tkinter window by creating an instance of the Tk() class. You can do this by adding the following code:

root = tk.Tk()
root.title("RadioButton List Example")

Now, let’s create a list of options that we want to display in our RadioButton list. You can create a list of options by adding the following code:

options = ["Option 1", "Option 2", "Option 3", "Option 4"]

Next, we will create a variable to store the selected option from the RadioButton list. You can create a tkinter StringVar() variable and set its initial value to the first option in the list by adding the following code:

selected_option = tk.StringVar()
selected_option.set(options[0])

Now, let’s create the RadioButton list using a for loop to iterate over the list of options and create a RadioButton widget for each option. You can add the following code to create the RadioButton list:

for option in options:
    rb = tk.Radiobutton(root, text=option, variable=selected_option, value=option)
    rb.pack(anchor=tk.W)

Finally, we will add a button that the user can click to see the selected option from the RadioButton list. You can add a tkinter Button widget with a command that displays a messagebox with the selected option by adding the following code:

def show_selected_option():
    tk.messagebox.showinfo("Selected Option", selected_option.get())

button = tk.Button(root, text="Show Selected Option", command=show_selected_option)
button.pack()

That’s it! You have now created a RadioButton list in Python using the tkinter library. You can run your script to see the RadioButton list with the list of options and a button to display the selected option.

I hope this tutorial was helpful in showing you how to create a RadioButton list in Python using tkinter. Feel free to customize the code to suit your needs and experiment with different options and functionality. Happy coding! 👍
