Python Simple Spinbox Example

In this example, we’ll demonstrate how to add a Spinbox widget in a Tkinter window. A Spinbox allows users to select a value from a defined range by either clicking the up or down arrows or entering a number manually.

Python Code: Adding a Spinbox

First, we create a basic Tkinter window and add a Spinbox widget named 'spin'. We set the range of the Spinbox from 0 to 10.


from tkinter import *
root = Tk()
root.title("App")
root.geometry("200x100")

spin = Spinbox(
  from_=0,
  to=10,
  width=10
).pack()

root.mainloop()

from tkinter import *

root = Tk()

root.title("App")

root.geometry("200x100")

spin = Spinbox(

from_=0,

to=10,

width=10

).pack()

root.mainloop()

Output:

Python Code: Displaying Spinbox Value in a Label with Button Click

Now, we will enhance the example by adding a button. When the button is clicked, the value selected in the Spinbox will be displayed in a Label widget.


from tkinter import *
root = Tk()
root.title("App")
root.geometry("200x100")

spinValue = StringVar()

def message():
  label["text"] = spinValue.get()

spin = Spinbox(
  from_=0,
  to=10,
  width=10,
  textvariable=spinValue,
).pack()

button = Button(
  text="Click!",
  command=message
)
button.pack()

label = Label(
  text="..."
)
label.pack()

root.mainloop()

from tkinter import *

root = Tk()

root.title("App")

root.geometry("200x100")

spinValue = StringVar()

def message():

label["text"] = spinValue.get()

spin = Spinbox(

from_=0,

to=10,

width=10,

textvariable=spinValue,

).pack()

button = Button(

text="Click!",

command=message

)

button.pack()

label = Label(

text="..."

)

label.pack()

root.mainloop()

Output:

This code introduces a StringVar to hold the value of the Spinbox, and a button that updates the Label with the current value of the Spinbox when clicked.
