Tcl/Tk widgets
In this part of the Tcl/Tk tutorial, we will cover some basic Tk widgets. We will have an example for a checkbutton
, label
, scale
and listbox
widgets.
Widgets are basic building blocks of a GUI application. Over the years, several widgets became a standard in all toolkits on all OS platforms. For example a button, a check box or a scroll bar. Some of them might have a different name. For instance, a check box is called a check button in Tk. Tk has a small set of widgets which cover the basic programming needs. More specialised widgets can be created as custom widgets.
Checkbutton
The checkbutton
is a widget that has two states: on and off. The on state is visualised by a check mark. It is used to denote some boolean property. The checkbutton
widget provides a check box with a text label.
#!/usr/bin/wish # ZetCode Tcl/Tk tutorial # # This program toggles the title of the # window with the checkbutton widget. # # author: Jan Bodnar # last modified: March 2011 # website: www.zetcode.com frame .fr pack .fr -fill both -expand 1 checkbutton .fr.cb -text "Show title" -command onClick \ -onvalue true -offvalue false -variable selected .fr.cb select place .fr.cb -x 50 -y 50 proc onClick {} { global selected if {$selected==true} { wm title . checkbutton } else { wm title . "" } } wm title . checkbutton wm geometry . 250x150+300+300
In our example, we place a check button on the window. The check button shows/hides the title of the window.
checkbutton .fr.cb -text "Show title" -command onClick \ -onvalue true -offvalue false -variable selected
The checkbutton
command creates a checkbutton widget. The -text
option specifies the text which is displayed by the widget. When we click on the widget, the onClick procedure is executed. When the checkbutton
is checked the selected variable has true value. Otherwise it has false value.
.fr.cb select
Initially, the title is shown in the titlebar. So at the start, we make the widget checked with the select
command.
place .fr.cb -x 50 -y 50
We place the checkbutton widget on the frame at x=50 and y=50 coordinates.
if {$selected==true} { wm title . checkbutton } else { wm title . "" }
Inside the onClick
procedure, we display or hide the title based on the selected variable.

Label
The label
widget is used to display text or images. No user interaction is available.
sudo apt-get install libtk-img
In order to run this example, we must install libtk-img
package.
#!/usr/bin/wish # ZetCode Tcl/Tk tutorial # # In this script, we use a label # widget to show an image. # # author: Jan Bodnar # last modified: March 2011 # website: www.zetcode.com package require Img frame .fr pack .fr image create photo img -file "tatras.jpg" label .fr.lbl -image img pack .fr.lbl wm title . label wm geometry . +300+300
Our example shows an image on the window.
package require Img
By default, the label
widget can display only a limited set of image types. To display a JPG image, we must use an Img
package.
image create photo img -file "tatras.jpg"
We create a photo image from the image on the file system.
label .fr.lbl -image img
The photoimage is given to the image
parameter of the label widget.
pack .fr.lbl
The image is packed into the frame.
wm geometry . +300+300
We specify the x and y coordinates. These are used to position a window on the screen. We omit the size of the window. The pack manager will set the window size to the size of the image.
Scale
A scale
is a widget that lets the user graphically select a value by sliding a knob within a bounded interval. Our example will show a selected number in a label widget.
#!/usr/bin/wish # ZetCode Tcl/Tk tutorial # # In this script, we show how to # use the scale widget. # # author: Jan Bodnar # last modified: March 2011 # website: www.zetcode.com frame .fr pack .fr -fill both -expand 1 scale .fr.scl -orient horizontal -from 0 -to 100 \ -length 150 -variable val -showvalue 0 place .fr.scl -x 50 -y 50 label .fr.lbl -textvariable val place .fr.lbl -x 80 -y 110 wm title . scale wm geometry . 250x150+300+300
We have two widgets in the above script. A scale and a label. A value from the scale widget is shown in the label widget.
scale .fr.scl -orient horizontal -from 0 -to 100 \ -length 150 -variable val -showvalue 0
scale
widget is created. The -orient
option makes the widget horizontal. We provide the lower and upper bounds with the -from
and -to
options. The currently selected number is stored in the val variable. By default the scale widget shows also the selected number. With the -showvalue
option, we hide it.
label .fr.lbl -textvariable val
A label
widget is created. It will display the beforementioned val variable.

Listbox
listbox
is a widget that displays a list of objects. It allows the user to select one or more items.
#!/usr/bin/wish # ZetCode Tcl/Tk tutorial # # In this script, we show how to # use the listbox widget. # # author: Jan Bodnar # last modified: March 2011 # website: www.zetcode.com frame .fr pack .fr -fill both -expand 1 listbox .fr.lb .fr.lb insert end "Scarlett Johansson" "Rachel Weiss" "Natalie Portman" \ "Jessica Alba" bind .fr.lb <<ListboxSelect>> { setLabel [%W curselection]} place .fr.lb -x 20 -y 20 label .fr.lbl place .fr.lbl -x 20 -y 210 wm title . listbox wm geometry . 300x250+300+300 proc setLabel { idx } { set val [.fr.lb get $idx] .fr.lbl configure -text $val }
In our example, we show a list of actresses in the listbox
. The currently selected actress is displayed in a label widget.
listbox .fr.lb
A listbox widget is created with the listbox
command.
.fr.lb insert end "Scarlett Johansson" "Rachel Weiss" "Natalie Portman" \ "Jessica Alba"
Here we insert four actresses to the widget.
bind .fr.lb <<ListboxSelect>> { setLabel [%W curselection]}
When we select an item in the listbox, the <<ListboxSelect>>
event is generated. We bind the setLabel procedure to this event. We also send a parameter to the procedure. The index of the currently selected value. The %W curselection
returns the index. The %W
is a handler for the widget in question and the curselection
is a command executed on this widget.
proc setLabel { idx } { set val [.fr.lb get $idx] .fr.lbl configure -text $val }
In the setLabel procedure we find out the value based on the index that we have obtained. This value is later shown in the label widget.

In this part of the Tcl/Tk tutorial, we have presented several Tk widgets.
