I've been trying to make a function run when I click a rectangle on a tk canvas.
Here is the code:
from tkinter import * window = Tk() c = Canvas(window, width=300, height=300) def clear(): canvas.delete(ALL) playbutton = c.create_rectangle(75, 25, 225, 75, fill="red") playtext = c.create_text(150, 50, text="Play", font=("Papyrus", 26), fill='blue') c.pack() window.mainloop() does anyone know what I should do?
You can add tags on the items you want to bind events to.
The event you want here is <Button-1>, which is left mousebutton.
To apply this to your example, you can do like this:
from tkinter import Tk, Canvas window = Tk() c = Canvas(window, width=300, height=300) def clear(): canvas.delete(ALL) def clicked(*args): print("You clicked play!") playbutton = c.create_rectangle(75, 25, 225, 75, fill="red",tags="playbutton") playtext = c.create_text(150, 50, text="Play", font=("Papyrus", 26), fill='blue',tags="playbutton") c.tag_bind("playbutton","<Button-1>",clicked) c.pack() window.mainloop() 
bindmethod?.tag_bindmethod here'current'tag for theitemconfigurecall. This should be much more efficient than making a separate tag for each item,.tag_binding them all and then checking the item ID in the event handler (if that information is even available).
