So im currently writing a program to Watch a folder and sort out all Files and their extensions to new folders with the extension names. Right now i am trying to implement a settings Part, where a new Window from Tkinter open and you can check if you want to start the programm with windows on startup or not.
but im not able to receive the right checkbox value, is always say FALSE even if i checked the checkbox.
The whole Code is:
from tkinter import filedialog
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import messagebox
from pystray import MenuItem as item
import os
# main_with_ini.py
import configparser
import pystray
from PIL import Image, ImageDraw
import Handler as h

filename = ""
configfile_name = "config.ini"
icon_name = "icon.png"
fenster = Tk()
folder_path = StringVar()
USER_NAME = getpass.getuser()
CHECKBOX_STATE = 0
# print('sys.argv[0] =', sys.argv[0])
# pathname = os.path.dirname(sys.argv[0])
# print('path =', pathname)

with open(bat_path + '\\' + "open.bat", "w+") as bat_file:
bat_file.write(r'start "" %s' % file_path)
def createConfig(configfile_name, section, key, value):
global filename
config = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(sys.argv[0]), configfile_name)
write_config = configparser.ConfigParser()
write_config.add_section(section)
write_config.set(section, key, value)
cfgfile = open(config, 'w')
write_config.write(cfgfile)
cfgfile.close()
# Check if there is already a configurtion file
def checkConfig(configfile_name):
config = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(sys.argv[0]), configfile_name)
# Create the configuration file as it doesn't exist yet
if os.path.isfile(configfile_name):
read_config = configparser.ConfigParser()
read_config.read(config)
watchPath = read_config['Folder_WatchPath']['PATH']
folder_path.set(watchPath)
return watchPath
else:

The Problems lays in this methods i guess:
def settings():
settings = Tk()
settings.title("Settings")
info_text = Label(settings, text="Script Starten bei Windows Startup")
info_text.grid(row=0, column=0, pady=20)
boolvar = BooleanVar()
boolvar.set(False)
Checkbutton(settings, text="Autostart", variable=boolvar, command=lambda: callBackFunc(boolvar)).grid(row=0,
sticky=W)
btn_save_set = Button(settings, text='Save', command=lambda: saveSettings(settings, CHECKBOX_STATE))
btn_save_set.grid(row=2, column=0)
settings.mainloop()
def callBackFunc(checkbox):
print("Oh. I'm clicked")
var = checkbox.get()
print(var)
def main():
fenster.title("Folder Watcher")
info_text = Label(fenster, text="Suche den Ordner aus, denn du beobachten möchtest!")
info_text.grid(row=0, column=0, pady=20)
# Menüleiste erstellen
menuleiste = Menu(fenster)
lbl1 = Label(master=fenster, textvariable=folder_path)
lbl1.grid(row=1, column=0)
button2 = Button(text='Durchsuche', command=lambda: background(changePath, ()))
button2.grid(row=2, column=0, pady=20)
# Menü Datei und Help erstellen
datei_menu = Menu(menuleiste, tearoff=0)
help_menu = Menu(menuleiste, tearoff=0)
# Beim Klick auf Datei oder auf Help sollen nun weitere Einträge erscheinen.
# Diese werden also zu "datei_menu" und "help_menu" hinzugefügt
datei_menu.add_command(label="Speichern", command=savePATH)
datei_menu.add_command(label="Minimiere", command=lambda: withdraw_window(fenster))
datei_menu.add_separator() # Fügt eine Trennlinie hinzu
datei_menu.add_command(label="Einstellungen", command=settings)
datei_menu.add_separator() # Fügt eine Trennlinie hinzu
datei_menu.add_command(label="Exit", command=fenster.quit)
help_menu.add_command(label="Info!", command=action_get_info_dialog)
# Nun fügen wir die Menüs (Datei und Help) der Menüleiste als
# "Drop-Down-Menü" hinzu
menuleiste.add_cascade(label="Datei", menu=datei_menu)
menuleiste.add_cascade(label="Help", menu=help_menu)
# Die Menüleiste mit den Menüeinrägen noch dem Fenster übergeben und fertig.
fenster.config(menu=menuleiste)
fenster.protocol('WM_DELETE_WINDOW', lambda: on_closing(fenster))

if __name__ == '__main__':

If i encapsulate only the code for the checkbox windows without the main windows, the checkbox code is working.
from tkinter import *
def settings():
settings = Tk()
settings.title("Settings")
info_text = Label(settings, text="Script Starten bei Windows Startup")
info_text.grid(row=0, column=0, pady=20)
boolvar = BooleanVar()
boolvar.set(False)
Checkbutton(settings, text="Autostart", variable=boolvar, command = lambda : callBackFunc(boolvar)).grid(row=0, sticky=W)
btn_save_set = Button(settings, text='Save', command=lambda: saveSettings(settings, CHECKBOX_STATE))
btn_save_set.grid(row=2, column=0)
mainloop()
def callBackFunc(checkbox):
print("Oh. I'm clicked")
var = checkbox.get()
print(var)
if __name__ == '__main__':
settings()
But in the main program, it will not return the right value, only False
