How to Add Tabs to Your Tkinter Application in Python 3.12.0

Building a user-friendly GUI can enhance an application's usability and functionality, especially when it comes to organizing complex interfaces. In this article, we will address a common problem many developers face: how to add tabs to a Tkinter application in Python 3.12.0.

The Problem

You have an existing Tkinter application that is functioning correctly. Your application has a main window and several widgets, organized under a single interface. However, you want to expand your application by introducing new features, which requires the addition of a new section without cluttering the current layout. The solution you seek is to integrate tabs.

When you attempted to use the Notebook widget from the ttk module, you realized that the new configurations were not working as expected. Your existing widgets didn’t appear in the new tab, and you found yourself confused about how to properly reference your widgets within the newly created tabs.

The Solution

No need to worry. By following these structured steps, you can seamlessly integrate tabs into your Tkinter application.

Step 1: Create the Notebook Widget

To add tabs, first create a Notebook widget which will hold the tabs you want to add. Additionally, create Frame instances for each tab.

Step 2: Add Tabs to the Notebook

You can add the created frames (for each tab) to the notebook. This is done using the add method.

Step 3: Replace the AudioPlayer Instantiation

To ensure that your existing widgets are displayed within the first tab, you need to instantiate the AudioPlayer class directly as tab1 instead of the root frame. This way, your existing widgets will be part of the tab.

Here’s the complete configuration for your main function:

Step 4: Modify the AudioPlayer Class

In the AudioPlayer class, don’t call self.pack() inside the __init__() method since the widget will already be managed by the Notebook. This allows proper organization of your widgets without unnecessary complications.

Step 5: Test Your Application

Run your application once you've made these changes. You should see a tabbed interface with your existing widgets now residing in Tab 1, and Tab 2 ready for any new features you wish to implement later.

Conclusion

Adding tabs to a Tkinter application is a straightforward process that can significantly enhance your GUI's functionality and organization. With a Notebook, you can neatly arrange different functionalities in separate tabs while keeping your application uncluttered. By following the steps above, you can easily integrate tabs into your Python Tkinter apps, paving the way for more advanced features in the future.
