window.mainloop()

I'm trying to add a new button and image in the function:

def read_column(excel_file)
Starting from line 48 to 56.

However, it is not appearing, hgw can I fix this?

[deanhystad]

You need to keep a reference to the image. I would do it like this:

        image3 = ImageTk.PhotoImage(resimage_download)
        image_download = tk.Label(window, image=image3, borderwidth=0)
        image_download.place(x=62, y=240)

        image_download.image = image3

When you use an image in a label, tkinter does not keep a reference to the image object. image3 was the only reference to the image. When the read_column function returned, all local variables from that function cease to exist. There is no longer an image3 variable, so there is nothing that references the variable. Python assumes you no longer need the image, not a bad assumption as there is no way you can do anything with the image, so it deletes the image garbage collects the image memory.

Adding a variable to the label that references the image prevents this from happening.

Thank you for your reply, I tested it already but the same result, image and lable are not appearing:

 if file_path:
        files_in_folder = os.listdir(file_path) #List all the files from the folder

        image3 = Image.open("Images/Download_Logo.png")
        resimage_download = image3.resize((27,30))
        image3 = ImageTk.PhotoImage(resimage_download)
        image_download = tk.Label(window, image=image3, borderwidth=0)
        image_download.place(x=62, y=240)
        image_download.image = image3
        download_text = tk.Label(window, text="Downloading the files", font=("Arial", 9, "bold"), bg="white")
        download_text.place(x=100, y=245)

If that isn't it, my next guess is that window.mainloop() is blocked from running. I tried to determine this by looking at your code, but cannot find where begintrans() gets called. Do the text labels appear? If not, that supports the mainloop getting blocked hypothesis.

This is a bit of a Frankenstein's monster wtih tkinter and easygui and selenium. I think it could be difficult keeping everyone happy.

Hello, thanks for your reply.
begintrans is on line 218.

[deanhystad]

begintrans is never called from anywhere in your code, and begintrans() is the only thing that calls read_column(). According to the posted code, you are not getting any labels because you never run the code that creates labels.

[deanhystad]

So does that mean we have to always run the label creation code even if we don't call Begintrans?

This is your program. I have no idea how it is supposed to work. I'm just saying that the reason your labels don't appear is because they are not created. If you want to see the labels without calling begintrans() you need to move the label code somewhere else where it does get executed.
