Python class - inherit attribute from parent class to toplevel

282 views Asked by At

I am trying to use OOP approach to create class that inherit from Parent class to top-level. I want to get the self.txtofName from Window1 to Window2 class. But it raises an "AttributeError: type object 'Window1' has no attribute 'txtofName'". Can anyone help me?

from tkinter import *
from PIL import Image, ImageTk

from tkinter import ttk

class Window1(object):
    def __init__(self, master):
        self.master = master
        self.master.geometry = ('1600x750+0+0')
        self.master.config(bg='powder blue')
        self.master.title('ALVO HOTEL')
        
        # ==========Framing============
        self.ftop = Frame(master, width=1600, height=100, bg='powder blue', relief=RIDGE, pady=20)

        self.f4.grid(column=2, row=2, sticky="nsew")


        self.labelofName = Label(self.f1, font=('arial', 16, 'bold'), text='Name: ', bg='powder blue', bd=10, anchor=W)
        self.labelofName.grid(row=0, column=0, pady=(20, 10))

hi james I think that the problem is that that you’re wrong to let the Windows2 class inherit the Windows1 class. I've made some changes like

def new_window_pop(self):
        #avoid declaring the class type here
        #Window2(Toplevel(self.master))
        #and pass self because you can thought to self as master...
        Window2(self)

and in the windows2 notice that we declare geometry, config, title as self, here self is the new windows, and self.parent is window1

#declare class type directly...

class Window2(Toplevel):
    def __init__(self, parent):
    super().__init__()

    #Windows2 recive a parent....
    self.parent = parent
    self.geometry = ('1350x750+0+0')
    self.config(bg='powder blue')
    self.title('User Information and Payment')

and above all

 #here the reference is wrong
    #name = Window1.txtofName.get()
    #the right reference is self.parent....
    name = self.parent.txtofName.get()
    self.FirstName = StringVar()
    #here, if you need to use the textvariable you must first assign it
    self.FirstName.set(name)

here the full story, try it.

Follow these steps

Don't do app = Window1(root) Because you already inherited Window1 in Window2

So, use super to initialize in Window2

super().__init__(master)

Now you can do anythong for Window1 so, Assign command for button self.btnNext.config(command=self.new_window_pop)

Now create a method for TopLevel Window:

Here is your full code:

from tkinter import *
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
import time
from tkinter import ttk


class Window1(object):
    def __init__(self, master):
        self.master = master
        self.master.geometry = ('1600x750+0+0')
        self.master.config(bg='powder blue')
        self.master.title('ALVO HOTEL')

        # ==========Framing============
        self.ftop = Frame(master, width=1600, height=100, bg='powder blue', relief=RIDGE, pady=20)
        self.ftop.grid(columnspan=3, column=0, row=0)
        self.f1 = Frame(master, width=800, height=700, relief=SUNKEN, bg='powder blue', pady=50, bd=3)
        self.f1.grid(column=1, row=2, sticky="nsew")
        self.f4 = Frame(master, width=100, height=700, relief=SUNKEN, bg='powder blue', pady=50, padx=20, bd=3)
        self.f4.grid(column=2, row=2, sticky="nsew")

        self.labelofName = Label(self.f1, font=('arial', 16, 'bold'), text='Name: ', bg='powder blue', bd=10, anchor=W)
        self.labelofName.grid(row=0, column=0, pady=(20, 10))
        self.txtofName = Entry(self.f1, font=('arial', 16, 'bold'), bd=10, insertwidth=4, bg='white', justify='left')
        self.txtofName.grid(row=0, column=1, pady=(20, 10))

        self.btnNext = Button(self.f1, padx=10, pady=8, bd=10, fg='white', font=('arial', 10, 'bold'), width=10,
                              text='Next Page', bg='green')
        self.btnNext.grid(row=6, column=1, sticky=E)


class Window2(Window1):
    def __init__(self, master):
        super().__init__(master)
        self.btnNext.config(command=self.new_window_pop)

    def new_window_pop(self):
        self.master = Toplevel(self.master)

        self.master.title('User Information and Payment')

        self.ftitle = Frame(self.master, bd=10, width=1350, bg='powder blue', relief=RIDGE, padx=20)
        self.ftitle.grid(columnspan=3, column=0, row=0)
        self.ftitle2 = Frame(self.master, bd=10, width=1350, height=100, bg='powder blue', relief=RIDGE, padx=20)
        self.ftitle2.grid(columnspan=3, column=0, row=3, pady=(0, 20))
        self.fbutton = Frame(self.master, width=1350, height=50, bg='powder blue', relief=RIDGE, padx=10, pady=20)
        self.fbutton.grid(columnspan=3, column=0, row=2)
        self.finfomain = Frame(self.master, bd=10, width=1350, height=400, bg='powder blue', relief=RIDGE)
        self.finfomain.grid(columnspan=3, column=0, row=1)

        self.finfo1 = Frame(self.finfomain, bd=5, width=900, height=300, bg='powder blue', relief=RIDGE, padx=10)

        self.finfo2 = Frame(self.finfomain, bd=5, width=450, height=400, bg='powder blue', relief=RIDGE, padx=20)
        self.finfo2.grid(column=1, row=0, rowspan=2)

        name = self.txtofName.get()
        self.FirstName = StringVar()

        self.lblfirstname = Label(self.finfo1, font=('arial', 16, 'bold'), bg='powderblue', text='First Name:', padx=2)

        self.txtfirstfname.grid(row=0, column=1)


def main():
    root = Tk()
    app = Window2(root)
    root.mainloop()


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
