Get Started

In order to get started you need to install the below library using the pip command as shown below

After installing this library you need to make an app.py file and copy paste the following code

app.py

import tkinter as tk
import tkinter.messagebox as msgbox

class Window(tk.Tk):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.title("Hello Tkinter")
        self.label_text = tk.StringVar()
        self.label_text.set("My Name Is: ")

        self.name_text = tk.StringVar()

        self.label = tk.Label(self, textvar=self.label_text)
        self.label.pack(fill=tk.BOTH, expand=1, padx=100, pady=10)

        self.name_entry = tk.Entry(self, textvar=self.name_text)
        self.name_entry.pack(fill=tk.BOTH, expand=1, padx=20, pady=20)

        hello_button = tk.Button(self, text="Say Hello", command=self.say_hello)
        hello_button.pack(side=tk.LEFT, padx=(20, 0), pady=(0, 20))

        goodbye_button = tk.Button(self, text="Say Goodbye", command=self.say_goodbye)
        goodbye_button.pack(side=tk.RIGHT, padx=(0, 20), pady=(0, 20))

    def say_hello(self):
        message = "Hello there " + self.name_entry.get()
        msgbox.showinfo("Hello", message)

    def say_goodbye(self):
        if msgbox.askyesno("Close Window?", "Would you like to close this window?"):
            message = "Window will close in 2 seconds - goodybye " + self.name_entry.get()
            self.label_text.set(message)
            self.after(2000, self.destroy)
        else:
            msgbox.showinfo("Not Closing", "Great! This window will stay open.")
