[Python/Tkinter]How can I fetch the value of data which was set in function "event_generate"
python, tk-toolkit, tkinter, user-interface
Solution
No, unfortunately it doesn't. The Tcl interpreter recognizes it as a valid option, but it is one of the missing options that are not included in the Event class, like `warp`. You can take a look at the line 1188 of the Tkinter source code to see the rest of the missing options.
Problem
I'm using Python 2.7.4 and new to Tkinter, and I'm stuck with the following code. I generated an event "test" and set the "data" option with a string, but an error occurred when retrieving it from event. Error -> AttributeError: Event instance has no attribute 'data' ``` from Tkinter import * def handle_it(event): # print "event handler" print event.data root = Tk() root.after(1, lambda: root.event_generate('<<test>>', data="hi there")) root.bind('<<test>>', handle_it) root.mainloop() ``` I can't find the related Python docs for this case, so I referred to the tcl document as below http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/TkCmd/event.htm#M14 Does TKinter of Python 2.7 support "data" option? Thanks!
