Calendar Widget for use with python tkinter











Installation

Install the calendar widget using the following commands

USAGE

First, Import the calendar widget along with tkinter

import tkinter
from calendar_widget import Calendar
Define the tkinter window into which the widget will be placed. EXAMPLE:
root = tkinter.Tk()
root.geometry('600x600')
The Calendar Widget can then be created as follows:
Calendar = Calendar(root)
To pass a command to the Calendar, specify the command option when it is created
Calendar = Calendar(root, command=user_command, ...)
To retrieve a selected date on the calendar, use the get_date command:
Calender.get_date()
To create a checkbox on the calendar, the command is as follows:
checkbox = Calendar.checkboxes(10, 10, 2022, status=True, ...)

#to remove a chcekbox that has already been created specify the delete option as follows:

Calendar.checkboxes(10, 10, 2022, delete=True)
To destroy the calendar widget, call the destroy method:
Calendar.destroy()
