Add New Database Record With Treeview – Python Tkinter GUI Tutorial #177

In this video I’ll show you how to add a new record to the database with our treeview app using tkinter and Python.

Adding a record to the database is pretty straight forward, I’ll show you how to do it in this video.

After we add a new record, we want to clear the entry boxes and refresh the treeview to reflect the changes. To
do that we’ll clear the treeview completely and then requery the database and output the results back to the cleared treeview.

Python Code: treebase.py
(Github Code)

from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk
import sqlite3



root = Tk()
root.title('Codemy.com - TreeBase')
root.iconbitmap('c:/gui/codemy.ico')
root.geometry("1000x500")

  Did you forget to pass the event to the function?
