I have a Listbox with an associated "Select" button. I want my GUI such that a double-click on any Listbox value invokes this button's command. My attempt (below) works when an option is selected and the user double-clicks ANYWHERE in the window. I want it to work only when the selection itself (blue highlighted row) is being double-clicked.
What is the best way to do this?
from tkinter import *
def func1():
print("in func1")
def func2():
print("in func2")
def selection():
try:
dictionary[listbox.selection_get()]()
except:
pass
root = Tk()
frame = Frame(root)
frame.pack()
dictionary = {"1":func1, "2":func2}
items = StringVar(value=tuple(sorted(dictionary.keys())))
listbox = Listbox(frame, listvariable=items, width=15, height=5)
listbox.grid(column=0, row=2, rowspan=6, sticky=("n", "w", "e", "s"))
listbox.focus()
selectButton = Button(frame, text='Select', underline = 0, command=selection)
selectButton.grid(column=2, row=4, sticky="e", padx=50, pady=50)
root.bind('<Double-1>', lambda x: selectButton.invoke())
root.mainloop()
Change root.bind(...)
to listbox.bind(...)
In binding you should use sequence which should be passes inside <
>
and pass function:
listbox.bind('<Double-Button>', function)
