[Tkinter] tkinter listbox problem

[edoardo5782]

Hi
i have a problem with the Listbox on Tkinter.
When i select with mouse one word in the Listbox, the program give me the relative code.
If i select another word again in the Listbox the program put the new code under the first one.
I would like that at the second selection the code before disappear.

What can I have to change?

THANK U!

(sorry for my english )

This is my code:

from tkinter import *
from tkinter.font import Font

root = Tk()
text = Text(root)

myFont = Font(family="Times New Roman", size=12)
text.configure(font=myFont)



class articoli: 

    def __init__(self,codice,modello,pezzi_ora,cod_materiale,mis_materiale,
                 ultima_mod,materiale_casa):

        self.codice = codice
        self.modello = modello
        self.pezzi_ora = pezzi_ora
        self.cod_materiale = cod_materiale
        self.mis_materiale = mis_materiale
        self.ultima_mod = ultima_mod
        self.materiale_casa = materiale_casa

        

        self.label_8 = Label() 
        self.label_8.configure(text=self.codice,font=myFont)
        self.label_8.pack(side=TOP)

        self.label_9 = Label() 
        self.label_9.configure(text=self.modello,font=myFont)
        self.label_9.pack(side=TOP)

        self.label_10 = Label() 
        self.label_10.configure(text=self.pezzi_ora,font=myFont)
        self.label_10.pack(side=TOP)

        self.label_11 = Label() 
        self.label_11.configure(text=self.cod_materiale,font=myFont)
        self.label_11.pack(side=TOP)

        self.label_12 = Label() 
        self.label_12.configure(text=self.mis_materiale,font=myFont)
        self.label_12.pack(side=TOP)

        self.label_13 = Label() 
        self.label_13.configure(text=self.ultima_mod,font=myFont)
        self.label_13.pack(side=TOP)

        self.label_14 = Label() 
        self.label_14.configure(text=self.materiale_casa,font=myFont)
        self.label_14.pack(side=TOP)

it looks like misuse of class.
each one of entries (like example below) instantiates a new copy of articoli that is separate from all others:
remember that a class is a structure, or template if you will, that 'creates' the class when called (instantiated)

    if value== "Python":
        Ps_48 = articoli("Ps 48","Patt_inf_est","1500","NG00002","135_5","20_04_2018",
                 "20")

You should instead use a text widget, instantiated once at the beginning of code
then a separate display method which as one of the first commands erases the text box using code like:

    textboxname.delete('1.0', END)

Not sure what you're asking

Hi edoardo5782

One possible solution for your APP:

from functools import partial
import tkinter as tk

APP_TITLE = "Code Selector"
APP_XPOS = 100
APP_YPOS = 100
APP_WIDTH = 300
APP_HEIGHT = 300


class Application(tk.Frame):
    
    def __init__(self, master):
        self.master = master
        tk.Frame.__init__(self, master)

        self.languages = ["Python", "Perl", "C", "PHP", "JSP"]
        self.codes = [
            "Ps 48, Patt_inf_est, 1500, NG00002, 135_5, 20_04_2018, 20",

        print(language)
        
        code_data = self.code_dict[language].split(',')
        for item_index, code_item in enumerate(code_data):
            self.label_vars[item_index].set(code_item)
            
def main():
    app_win = tk.Tk()
    app_win.title(APP_TITLE)
    app_win.geometry("+{}+{}".format(APP_XPOS, APP_YPOS))
    #app_win.geometry("{}x{}".format(APP_WIDTH, APP_HEIGHT))
    
    app = Application(app_win)
    app.pack(fill='both', expand=True, padx=5, pady=5)

Hi Wuf.
Thank u so much for your answer.
I think I m going to work hard to understand all your code :).
But that s why i posted my code.
Greetings Edoardo.
