ELEMENT AND FUNCTION CALL REFERENCE

Here you will find the details for all Elements, Objects, and Functions that are available to you. If you want to use a complex element and don't understand the parameters, then this is the right place to come. For every element you're shown the parameters used to create it as well as all methods available to call.

Currently PySimpleGUI (tkinter) only

This documentation is created using the PySimpleGUI.py file which means it's based on the tkinter code. Some of the calls are different, might not exist at all, or there may be more methods/functions for the other PySimpleGUI ports (Qt, Wx, Web).

Work is underway to get the PySimpleGUIQt docstrings completed and corrected.

Caution - Some functions / methods may be internal only yet exposed in this documentation

This section of the documentation is generated directly from the source code. As a result, sometimes internal only functions or methods that you are not supposed to be calling are accidently shown in this documentation. Hopefully these accidents don't happen often.

Here are all of the Elements, the Window & SystemTray classes, and all functions

Button Element

Button(button_text="",
    button_type=7,
    target=(None, None),
    tooltip=None,
    file_types=(('ALL Files', '*.*'),),
    initial_folder=None,
    disabled=False,
    change_submits=False,
    enable_events=False,

int	button_type	You should NOT be setting this directly. ONLY the shortcut functions set this
Union[str, Tuple[int, int]]	target	key or (row,col) target for the button. Note that -1 for column means 1 element to the left of this one. The constant ThisRow is used to indicate the current row. The Button itself is a valid target for some types of button

Tuple[Tuple[str, str], ...]	file_types	the filetypes that will be used to match files. To indicate all files: (("ALL Files", "."),). Note - NOT SUPPORTED ON MAC
str	initial_folder	starting path for folders and files
bool	disabled	If True button will be created disabled
bool	change_submits	DO NOT USE. Only listed for backwards compat - Use enable_events instead

Menu Element is the Element that provides a Menu Bar that goes across the top of the window, just below titlebar.
Here is an example layout.  The "&" are shortcut keys ALT+key.
Is a List of -  "Item String" + List
Where Item String is what will be displayed on the Menubar itself.
The List that follows the item represents the items that are shown then Menu item is clicked
Notice how an "entry" in a mennu can be a list which means it branches out and shows another menu, etc. (resursive)
menu_def = [['&File', ['!&Open', '&Save::savekey', '---', '&Properties', 'E&xit']],
            ['!&Edit', ['!&Paste', ['Special', 'Normal', ], 'Undo'], ],
            ['&Debugger', ['Popout', 'Launch Debugger']],
            ['&Toolbar', ['Command &1', 'Command &2', 'Command &3', 'Command &4']],
            ['&Help', '&About...'], ]
Finally, "keys" can be added to entries so make them unique.  The "Save" entry has a key associated with it. You
can see it has a "::" which signifies the beginning of a key.  The user will not see the key portion when the
menu is shown.  The key portion is returned as part of the event.

Maximize

Maximize the window. This is done differently on a windows system versus a linux or mac one. For non-Windows the root attribute '-fullscreen' is set to True. For Windows the "root" state is changed to "zoomed" The reason for the difference is the title bar is removed in some cases when using fullscreen option

Maximize()

Minimize

Minimize this window to the task bar

Minimize()

Move

Move the upper left corner of this window to the x,y coordinates provided

Move(x, y)

Parameter Descriptions:

Type	Name	Meaning
int	x	x coordinate in pixels
int	y	y coordinate in pixels

Normal

Restore a window to a non-maximized state. Does different things depending on platform. See Maximize for more.

Read

THE biggest deal method in the Window class! This is how you get all of your data from your Window. Pass in a timeout (in milliseconds) to wait for a maximum of timeout milliseconds. Will return timeout_key if no other GUI events happen first.

Read(timeout=None,
    timeout_key="__TIMEOUT__",
    close=False)

Parameter Descriptions:

Type	Name	Meaning

Reappear

Causes a window previously made to "Disappear" (using that method). Does this by restoring the alpha channel

Reappear()

Refresh

Refreshes the window by calling tkroot.update(). Can sometimes get away with a refresh instead of a Read. Use this call when you want something to appear in your Window immediately (as soon as this function is called). Without this call your changes to a Window will not be visible to the user until the next Read call

Color Printing to Multiline Element of a Window

Color print to a multiline element in a window of your choice. Must have EITHER called cprint_set_output_destination prior to making this call so that the window and element key can be saved and used here to route the output, OR used the window and key parameters to the cprint function to specicy these items.

args is a variable number of things you want to print.

end - The end char to use just like print uses sep - The separation character like print uses text_color - The color of the text key - overrides the previously defined Multiline key window - overrides the previously defined window to output to background_color - The color of the background colors -(str, str) or str. A combined text/background color definition in a single parameter

There are also "aliases" for text_color, background_color and colors (t, b, c) t - An alias for color of the text (makes for shorter calls) b - An alias for the background_color parameter c - Tuple[str, str] - "shorthand" way of specifying color. (foreground, backgrouned) c - str - can also be a string of the format "foreground on background" ("white on red")

With the aliases it's possible to write the same print but in more compact ways: cprint('This will print white text on red background', c=('white', 'red')) cprint('This will print white text on red background', c='white on red') cprint('This will print white text on red background', text_color='white', background_color='red') cprint('This will print white text on red background', t='white', b='red')

Show animation one frame at a time. This function has its own internal clocking meaning you can call it at any frequency and the rate the frames of video is shown remains constant.

Displays a "notification window", usually in the bottom right corner of your display. Has an icon, a title, and a message. It is more like a "toaster" window than the normal popups.

The window will slowly fade in and out if desired. Clicking on the window will cause it to move through the end the current "phase". For example, if the window was fading in and it was clicked, then it would immediately stop fading in and instead be fully visible. It's a way for the user to quickly dismiss the window.

The return code specifies why the call is returning (e.g. did the user click the message to dismiss it)

Old Themes (Look and Feel) - Replaced by theme()

Change the "color scheme" of all future PySimpleGUI Windows. The scheme are string names that specify a group of colors. Background colors, text colors, button colors. There are 13 different color settings that are changed at one time using a single call to ChangeLookAndFeel The look and feel table itself has these indexes into the dictionary LOOK_AND_FEEL_TABLE. The original list was (prior to a major rework and renaming)... these names still work... In Nov 2019 a new Theme Formula was devised to make choosing a theme easier: The "Formula" is: ["Dark" or "Light"] Color Number Colors can be Blue Brown Grey Green Purple Red Teal Yellow Black The number will vary for each pair. There are more DarkGrey entries than there are LightYellow for example.
