Creating Button in Python GUI9:31
Create and configure a python gui button by placing it in a frame, setting its text, size, and colors, and binding a click event that prints a message.
Creating Canvas in Python GUI10:11
Create a canvas in a Python GUI to draw lines, polygons, rectangles, ovals, and text, and add images by configuring coordinates and colors.
Creating CheckBox in Python GUI6:17
Learn to create checkboxes in a Python GUI, using checkbuttons with on/off variables, and group multiple options (dancing, reading) within a frame for a cohesive category.
Creating Frames in Python GUI7:42
Create and organize two frames in a Python GUI project, add buttons in each frame, and apply left and bottom layouts while highlighting a button in the second frame.
Creating Labels in Python GUI5:27
Learn to create labels in a Python GUI by defining string variables, building label widgets, attaching them to the root, and displaying multiple labels with different text.
Entry in Python GUI9:04

List Box in Python GUI4:46
Create and read a list box in a Python GUI, using insert to add items by index and element. Demonstrate selecting single or multiple items and displaying the list.
Menu in Python GUI7:46
Build a Python gui menu bar with file and edit menus, attach commands such as open, save, and exit, and connect them to a show function on the root window.
Menu in Python GUI Continue6:03
Learn to construct a Python GUI menu bar with cascaded menus, including an edit menu, separators, and add_command calls, to create interactive labeled menu items.
Menu Button in Python GUI5:45
Learn how to create a menu button in Python GUI, building a dropdown menu with a root window, configuring a menu, and wiring buttons and variables in a practical example.
Message in Python GUI4:29
Discover how to display multi-line text in a Python GUI using a message widget. Compare it with a label to see multi-line wrapping versus a single line.
Radio Button in Python GUI8:26
Learn how to create a radio button in a Python GUI, bind it to a single variable, handle selection with a function, and display the chosen option in a label.
Scale in Python GUI6:07
Master the scale widget in Python GUI to select values from 1 to 200 using a slider; wire up a button and label to show the current value, including decimals.
Scroll Bar in Python GUI6:55
Learn to create a scrollbar in Python GUI by attaching a scrollbar to a listbox, configuring it to scroll data along the y axis, and displaying data correctly.
Text in Python GUI9:30
Learn how to use the text widget in a Python GUI to create, edit, and format multi-line text with tags for background and foreground colors, including insertion and styling techniques.
Top Level in Python GUI7:38
Create top level windows in Python GUI by using root and top level windows, frames, and buttons to open new windows, then observe how closing the main window affects them.
Spin Box in Python GUI4:40
demonstrates how to use a spin box in Python GUI to restrict input to a numeric range, such as 0 to 100, and contrasts it with a standard entry box.
Paned Window in Python GUI9:36
Learn to build paned windows by organizing multiple panes horizontally or vertically, enabling movable, separable, and hideable data within a main window.
Label Frame in Python GUI7:59
Explore how to create and organize a Python GUI using label frames, building sections like basic information and education information with labeled fields such as name, contact number, and email.
Message Box in Python GUI9:28
Create a Python GUI message box by importing the message box module and wiring a button to show information with a title and message.

Requirements

The way we design our course doesn’t require any prerequisite to leverage the full potential of the course. We try to build everything from the basics and lay a strong foundation so that the empire of knowledge that would be built on it would be strong enough to resist the inevitable changes. Having said that, below mentioned are a few pointers which will help in grasping things quickly and without much hassle obtain the maximum juice out of this course! Knowing any scripting language would be an advantage as it will be easier to grasp the code portion of the course. It is highly recommended for non-coders to have some coding sessions before jumping to Python GUI training. Knowing python basics will also be an added advantage during the course. Having the appetite to solve the assignments or projects on your own and also bring out a solution that is out of the box.
