I’m coding a database management app with python tkinter packages. This API is on a NAS (network attached storage). So the users can open it from a connection and make modifications in real time. I want to give some privilege for admin users. That means if a users log in the app, they can tick and fill entry box which is disabled for normal users. How to do it?
Here is my try:
from tkinter import *
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk
#Initialisation
root=Tk()
root.title("Test")
#Tab creation
my_tab=ttk.Notebook(root)
my_tab.pack(expand=True, fill=tk.BOTH)
#Tab name and their creation
frames=[]
nom_des_onglets=["Main", "First tab", "Second tab"]
def admin():
global longentrie
win=Toplevel()
longentrie = StringVar()
password_msg = tk.Label(win,text="Enter password for administrator privileges")
password_msg.pack()
password_entries = tk.Entry(win,textvariable=longentrie)
password_entries.pack()
tk.Button(win,text='Enter', command=admin_privilege).pack()
def admin_privilege():
global login_value
password_admin = longentrie.get()
if password_admin == 'good':
login_value=1
else:
login_value=0
for i in range(3):
frame=ttk.Frame(my_tab) # add tab
frame.pack(fill="both")
frames.append(frame)
my_tab.add(frames[i], text=nom_des_onglets[i])
#Login button
login=tk.Button(frames[0],text="login", command=admin)
login.pack()
#special priviledge
var1 = tk.IntVar()
ts = [tk.StringVar() for _ in range(17)]
lbl7 = tk.Checkbutton(frames[1], text='Text',variable=var1, onvalue=1,offvalue=0, bg='#ececec', state='disabled')
lbl7.grid(row=0, column=0, padx=5, pady=3)
lbl1=tk.Label(frames[1], text="Name")
lbl1.grid(row=2, column=0, padx=5, pady=3)
ent7=Entry(frames[1], textvariable=ts[6])
ent7.grid(row=2, column=1, padx=5, pady=3,sticky="nsew")
lbl8=tk.Label(frames[1], text="Age")
lbl8.grid(row=3, column=0, padx=5, pady=3)
ent8=Entry(frames[1], textvariable=ts[7],state='disabled')
ent8.grid(row=3, column=1, padx=5, pady=3,sticky="nsew")
if login_value == 1:
lbl7.configure(state='normal')
ent8.configure(state='normal')
root.mainloop()
CodePudding user response:
Here's an example where entering the right password does correctly change the disabled
state of those two fields.
This could be refactored to be a lot less messy (better variable naming for one), but it's a start:
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk
is_admin = False
def setup_ui():
lbl7.configure(state=("normal" if is_admin else "disabled"))
ent8.configure(state=("normal" if is_admin else "disabled"))
def do_login_window():
def admin_privilege():
global is_admin
if password_var.get() == "good":
is_admin = True
setup_ui()
login_win.destroy() # Close the login box
login_win = tk.Toplevel()
password_var = tk.StringVar()
password_msg = tk.Label(login_win, text="Enter password for administrator privileges")
password_msg.pack()
password_entries = tk.Entry(login_win, textvariable=password_var)
password_entries.pack()
tk.Button(login_win, text="Enter", command=admin_privilege).pack()
# Initialisation
root = tk.Tk()
root.title("Test")
# Tab creation
my_tab = ttk.Notebook(root)
my_tab.pack(expand=True, fill=tk.BOTH)
frames = []
for name in ["Main", "First tab"]:
frame = ttk.Frame(my_tab)
frame.pack(fill="both")
frames.append(frame)
my_tab.add(frame, text=name)
# Login button
login_frame = frames[0]
login = tk.Button(login_frame, text="login", command=do_login_window)
login.pack()
# special priviledge
data_frame = frames[1]
var1 = tk.IntVar()
ts = [tk.StringVar() for _ in range(17)]
lbl7 = tk.Checkbutton(
data_frame, text="Text", variable=var1, onvalue=1, offvalue=0, bg="#ececec"
)
lbl7.grid(row=0, column=0, padx=5, pady=3)
lbl1 = tk.Label(data_frame, text="Name")
lbl1.grid(row=2, column=0, padx=5, pady=3)
ent7 = tk.Entry(data_frame, textvariable=ts[6])
ent7.grid(row=2, column=1, padx=5, pady=3, sticky="nsew")
lbl8 = tk.Label(data_frame, text="Age")
lbl8.grid(row=3, column=0, padx=5, pady=3)
ent8 = tk.Entry(data_frame, textvariable=ts[7])
ent8.grid(row=3, column=1, padx=5, pady=3, sticky="nsew")
setup_ui() # Will be called after logging in too
root.mainloop()
