Tk Window does not update

The terminal score has been updated

score = 0

def check():
    global score
    if answered_question[1]['correct_answer'] == 'True':
        score  = 1

root = tk.Tk()
root.config(padx=20, pady=20, bg=BLUE_GRAY)

score_board = tk.Label(
    text=f"Score: {score}",
    bg=BLUE_GRAY, fg="white",
    font=('Arial', 10, "normal")
)

check_btn = tk.Button(image=check_img, command=check, highlightthickness=0)

root.mainloop()

CodePudding user response：

You have to update the label explicitly by using either config/configure (same thing), or by binding a tk.StringVar() to your Label's textvariable parameter

# Option One
def check():
    global score
    if answered_question[1]['correct_answer'] == 'True':
        score  = 1
        # update the label
        score_board.configure(text=f'Score: {score}')

or...

# Option Two
def check():
    global score
    if answered_question[1]['correct_answer'] == 'True':
        score  = 1
        # update the label
        label_var.set(f'Score: {score}')

...  # code omitted for brevity

label_var = tk.StringVar()  # declare a tk.StringVar to bind to your label

score_board = tk.Label(
    text=f"Score: {score}",
    bg=BLUE_GRAY, fg="white",
    font=('Arial', 10, "normal"),
    textvariable=label_var,  # the label will update whenever this var is 'set'
)
