Create A Message Box That Asks Retry Or Cancel In Python GUI Application

Intro

In this blog, I am going to create a message box that asks retry or cancel, in Python GUI application. When a user clicks “Exit” from action menu, it will ask for the user’s choice as - retry or cancel - in the application screen.

Software requirement

Python 3.5 and IDLE (Python 3.5)

Programming code

#Create retry or cancel action Box in Python GUI Application
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk
from tkinter import Menu
from tkinter import messagebox as mbox
app = tk.Tk()
#Add a Title
app.title("Python GUI App")
#Label
ttk.Label(app, text="Retry or Cancel action Box").grid(column=0,row=0,padx=20,pady=30)
#Create a Menu Bar
menuBar=Menu(app)
app.config(menu=menuBar)
#Display a retry or cancel Message Box
def _msgBox():
mbox.askretrycancel ('Retry or Cancel action Box','Choose the action')
#Create Message Menu
msgMenu=Menu(menuBar, tearoff=0)
msgMenu.add_command(label="Exit", command=_msgBox)
menuBar.add_cascade(label="Action", menu=msgMenu)
#Calling Main()
app.mainloop()

About the code

First, I am importing the tkinter modules.

Next, assign a class and variables and give application title.

Next, create a menu bar and add a menu item in the menu bar.

Next, create ask message function and add “Retry” or “Cancel” options in displaying command menu.

Finally, I have started the windows event loop by calling the mainloop method.

Then, let’s execute the code.
