Hello
I am trying to use Visual Tkinter but it's giving an "Invalid procedure call" error each time I try to place something on the form and the program closes.
Screenshot of what I'm getting:

I'm not even able to add a simple button to the form & when I try to add it gives this error & closes.
How do I get this to work?
Thank you
Jump to PostYou are working with a version 0.0.115 beta. You should probably consider using another IDE, unless you want to join the Visual Tkinter team.
Jump to PostIMHO, Tkinter GUI code is too simple to write to warrant a visual approach. It's so much easier to build yourself a few Tkinter code templates and go with that.
BTW, code produced by Visual Tkinter doesn't seem to follow any Python syntax guidelines.
Jump to Postok.. I wanted an IDE like that coz I am a absolute beginner in python programming and was too used to using Visual Studio.
Guess I'd find coding in tkinter easier as I go.Thank you for the replies.
If you are an absolute beginner, use only robust and well …

and also I am not able to select any items other than button & the arrow:

I tired out all their versions listed here: http://code.google.com/p/visualtkinter/downloads/list
But every version gives the same error. I think there is no stable version yet.
I just wanted a IDE in which I could develop like developing in Visual Basic.
Is there anything like that for tkinter?

If you are an absolute beginner, use only robust and well known IDEs. Idle is a good first choice.
I am right now using Netbeans IDE & Wing IDE. These appear more friednly than IDLE.
I wanted an IDE where I could just drag and drop buttons & text boxes like in visual basic,instead of coding them.
I guess I'll have to only write the code for the GUI elements.
If you want to use drag and drop to design your widget layout then the PyQT GUI toolkit comes with QTdesigner, see:

The wxPython GUI toolkit can use BOA constructor, see:

Another nice drag and drop utility for wxPython is wxGlade.
Visual Tkinter new version :
<URL SNIPPED>
Thank you macroasm. I'll check it out.
In the drag and drop section there is also the SpecTcl project, see:
http://spectcl.sourceforge.net/spectcl.html
The guibuilder-win32-ix86-20070129.exe works on Windows, but the code is scattered all over the map and maintenance would be a nightmare.
wxGlade is just a builder/designer for wxPython widgets, but the code it produces is the cleanest I have seen. It is easy to flesh out and maintain. For an example see:
