Binding Complex data to Combobox

[gcfernando]

Hi All,

In Customer table have two columns "ID" and "Name"

I want to bind the Customer information to Combobox, as Values I set Name property.

My question is once I change the index of Combobox, how can I get the ID property value based on the Name.

GUI : tkinter

Default Way ....

import tkinter as tk from tkinter import ttk app = tk.Tk() app.geometry('200x100') labelTop = tk.Label(app, text = "Choose your favourite month") labelTop.grid(column=0, row=0) comboExample = ttk.Combobox(app, values=[ "January", "February", "March", "April"]) pprint(dict(comboExample)) comboExample.grid(column=0, row=1) comboExample.current(1) print(comboExample.current(), comboExample.get()) app.mainloop()

Expected ....

import tkinter as tk from tkinter import ttk app = tk.Tk() app.geometry('200x100') labelTop = tk.Label(app, text = "Choose your favourite month") labelTop.grid(column=0, row=0) comboExample = ttk.Combobox(app, values=[(1,"January"),(2,"February"),(3,"March"),(4,"April")]) pprint(dict(comboExample)) comboExample.grid(column=0, row=1) comboExample.current(1) print(comboExample.current(), comboExample.get()) app.mainloop()

Question

In C# we use Value Member and Display Member
we Set 1, 2 ... as Value Member
Set January, .... as Display Member

When the application run shows January , .... but when we change the select index we can get value Member easily

So how can we same that in python using tkinter
