I am trying to show an info window by using
tkinter.messagebox.showinfo("info", "message")
However, I am getting error while using from tkinter import *
The problem is solve if I also have import tkinter.messagebox
So I am confused. Isn't from tkinter import * is supposed to import everything inside tkinter?
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import messagebox
root = Tk()
root.title("test")
root.geometry("300x300")
app = Frame(root)
app.grid()
button1 = Button(app, text = " exit " , width=2, command=exit)
button1.grid(padx=110, pady=80)
def dialog():
var = messagebox.showinfo("test" , "hoi, dit is een test als je dit leest is het gelukt")
button2 = Button(app, text = " uitleg " , width=4, command=dialog)
button2.grid()
root.mainloop(3)
you just import messagebox from tkinter and you do messagebox.(for example)showinfo("test" , "blablablabla")
from tkinter import * will load Tkinter's __init__.py which doesn't include messagebox, so to solve it we do import tkinter.messagebox which loads messagebox's __init__.py.
If you use the from module import x format, you don't prefix the imported resources with the module. So try
messagebox.showinfo("info", "message")
If you import like this: import tkinter.messagebox you reference it with the module, which is why you don't get an error in that case.
Can also try this method to access the messagebox method
import tkinter as tk
tk.messagebox.showinfo("info name","This is a Test")
