Python messagebox

Question

Below is my code, I can't make it start another question if a question is answered.

I have a list of questions that the app asks, but it is pointless to post them all here. I just can't figure out how to keep on asking questions.

from tkinter import *
from random import randint
from tkinter import ttk


def correct():
    vastus = ('correct')
    messagebox.showinfo(message=vastus)   



def first():
    box = Tk()
    box.title('First question')
    box.geometry("300x300")

    silt = ttk.Label(box, text="Question")
    silt.place(x=5, y=5)

    answer = ttk.Button(box, text="Answer 1", command=correct)
    answer.place(x=10, y=30, width=150,)


    answer = ttk.Button(box, text="Answer 2",command=box.destroy)
    answer.place(x=10, y=60, width=150)


    answer = ttk.Button(box, text="Answer 3", command=box.destroy)
    answer.place(x=10, y=90, width=150)



first()

Can you expand your code extract to actually include a call to correct i.e. your message box? — poke

When correct is answered then it calls the messagebox. But I can't understand your question. — user1794625

Nevermind, I missed the command=correct part on the first button. — poke

Can’t you just call the next question from within the correct function? — poke

from what I can tell, you question is very vague.

tkMessageBox.showinfo()

is what you're looking for?

You could either just run the next question from within your correct function, or if you abstract your QA dialog a bit more, you could probably make it a lot more flexible. I was a bit bored, so I built something that supports a dynamic number of questions (with only 3 answers currently though):

from tkinter import ttk
import tkinter
import tkinter.messagebox

class Question:
    def __init__ (self, question, answers, correctIndex=0):
        self.question = question
        self.answers = answers
        self.correct = correctIndex

class QuestionApplication (tkinter.Frame):
    def __init__ (self, master=None):
        super().__init__(master)
        self.pack()

        self.question = ttk.Label(self)
        self.question.pack(side='top')

        self.answers = []
        for i in range(3):
            answer = ttk.Button(self)
            answer.pack(side='top')
            self.answers.append(answer)

    def askQuestion (self, question, callback=None):
        self.callback = callback
        self.question['text'] = question.question

        for i, a in enumerate(question.answers):
            self.answers[i]['text'] = a
            self.answers[i]['command'] = self.correct if i == question.correct else self.wrong

    def correct (self):
        tkinter.messagebox.showinfo(message="Correct")
        if self.callback:
            self.callback()

    def wrong (self):
        if self.callback:
            self.callback()

# configure questions
questions = []
questions.append(Question('Question 1?', ('Correct answer 1', 'Wrong answer 2', 'Wrong answer 3')))
questions.append(Question('Question 2?', ('Wrong answer 1', 'Correct answer 2', 'Wrong answer 3'), 1))

# initialize and start application loop
app = QuestionApplication(master=tkinter.Tk())
def askNext ():
    if len(questions) > 0:
        q = questions.pop(0)
        app.askQuestion(q, askNext)
    else:
        app.master.destroy()

askNext()
app.mainloop()
