Title not showing properly using Tkinter GUIs in Python-CodePudding

I am currently trying to learn doing simple GUIs with Python using the package Tkinter.

I wrote this program for a To Do List:


import tkinter
import tkinter.messagebox
import pickle

root = tkinter.Tk()
root.title = ("To Do List")

def add_task():
    task = entry_task.get()
    if task not in ["", "Do nothing"]:
        listbox_tasks.insert(tkinter.END, task)  
        entry_task.delete(0, tkinter.END)
    else:
        tkinter.messagebox.showwarning(title="Warning!", message="Doing nothing is not an option!.")

def delete_task():
    try:
        task_index = listbox_tasks.curselection()[0]
        listbox_tasks.delete(task_index)
    except:
        tkinter.messagebox.showwarning(title="Warning!", message="You need to select a task to delete.")

def load_tasks():
    try:
        tasks = pickle.load(open("Aufgaben.txt", "rb"))  # reading binary
        listbox_tasks.delete(0, tkinter.END)
        for task in tasks:
            listbox_tasks.insert(tkinter.END, task)
    except: tkinter.messagebox.showwarning(title="Warning!", message="There is no saved file.")

def save_tasks():
    tasks = listbox_tasks.get(0, listbox_tasks.size()) 
    pickle.dump(tasks, open("Aufgaben.txt", "wb"))  # wb = write binary

frame_tasks = tkinter.Frame(root)
frame_tasks.pack()
listbox_tasks = tkinter.Listbox(frame_tasks, height=10, width=50)
listbox_tasks.pack(side=tkinter.LEFT)

scrollbar_tasks = tkinter.Scrollbar(frame_tasks)
scrollbar_tasks.pack(side=tkinter.RIGHT, fill=tkinter.Y)

listbox_tasks.config(yscrollcommand=scrollbar_tasks.set)
scrollbar_tasks.config(command=listbox_tasks.yview)

entry_task = tkinter.Entry(root, width=53)
entry_task.pack()

button_add_task = tkinter.Button(root, text="Add Task", width=48, command=add_task)
button_add_task.pack()

button_delete_task = tkinter.Button(root, text="Delete Task", width=48, command=delete_task)
button_delete_task.pack()

button_load_tasks = tkinter.Button(root, text="Load Tasks", width=48, command=load_tasks)
button_load_tasks.pack()

button_save_tasks = tkinter.Button(root, text="Save Tasks", width=48, command=save_tasks)
button_save_tasks.pack()

root.mainloop()

Everything works like I want it to work, except for the title.

Instead of the correct title, it just displays "tk" in the window bar.

Why does this problem occur?

CodePudding user response：

Try changing the title row to this.

root.title("To Do List")

The = sign is used to assign a value to something. In this case, you are calling the title function/method where you have to input the string of the title you intend to have as a parameter.

CodePudding user response：

root.title() is a method that requires a string as argument. It is not a attribute you access there.

Example:

root.title("To Do List")

instead of:

root.title = ("To Do List")
