I have a python Tkinter Frame that displays several fields. I want to also add
an red/yellow/green icon that will display the status of an external device.
The icon is loaded from a file called ICON_LED_RED.ico.
- How do I display the icon in my frame?
How do I change the icon at runtime?
for example replace BitmapImage('RED.ico') with BitmapImage('GREEN.ico')class Application(Frame):
def init(self, master=None):
Frame.__init__(self, master) self.pack() self.createWidgets()
def createWidgets(self):
# ...other frame code.. works just fine. self.OKBTN = Button(self) self.OKBTN["text"] = "OK" self.OKBTN["fg"] = "red" self.OKBTN["command"] = self.ok_btn_func self.OKBTN.pack({"side": "left"}) # when I add the following the frame window is not visible # The process is locked up such that I have to do a kill -9 self.statusFrame = Frame(self, bd=2, relief=RIDGE) Label(self.statusFrame, text='Status:').pack(side=LEFT, padx=5) self.statIcon = BitmapImage('data/ICON_LED_RED.ico') Label (self.statusFrame, image=self.statIcon ).grid() self.statusFrame.pack(expand=1, fill=X, pady=10, padx=5)
