Checkbuttons gets generated dynamically and they are getting text from a python list. I need a logic for capturing selected checkbuttons text . As per my research everywhere they are returning the state of checkbox instead of text. Please help.

cb_list =['pencil','pen','book','bag','watch','glasses','passport','clothes','shoes','cap'] 
try:r = 0cl = 1for op in cb_list:cb = Checkbutton(checkbutton_frame, text=op, relief=RIDGE)cb.grid(row=r, column=cl, sticky="W")r = r + 1
except Exception as e:logging.basicConfig(filename=LOG_FILENAME, level=logging.ERROR)logging.error(e)# print (e)selected_item = Text(self, width=30, height=20, wrap=WORD)selected_item.grid(row=1, column=6, padx=20, pady=20, columnspan=2, sticky=E)display_button = Button(self, text='DISPLAY', command=display()convert_button.grid(row=1, column=8, padx=20, pady=20)

The idea is to associate one BooleanVar to each checkbutton and store them in a list cb_var. Then, to display the selected items, we just have to clear the display box (I have used a Listbox) and then loop simultaneously through cb_list and cb_var to determine which items are selected:

import tkinter as tkroot = tk.Tk()
checkbutton_frame = tk.Frame(root)
checkbutton_frame.grid(row=1, column=0)def display():# clear listboxselected_item.delete(0, 'end')# add selected items in listboxfor text, var in zip(cb_list, cb_var):if var.get():# the checkbutton is selectedselected_item.insert('end', text)cb_list = ['pencil','pen','book','bag','watch','glasses','passport','clothes','shoes','cap'] 
cb_var = []  # to store the variables associated to the checkbuttons
cl = 1
for r, op in enumerate(cb_list):var = tk.BooleanVar(root, False)cb = tk.Checkbutton(checkbutton_frame, variable=var, text=op, relief='ridge')cb.grid(row=r, column=cl, sticky="w")cb_var.append(var)selected_item = tk.Listbox(root, width=30, height=20)
selected_item.grid(row=1, column=6, padx=20, pady=20, columnspan=2, sticky='e')display_button = tk.Button(root, text='DISPLAY', command=display)
display_button.grid(row=1, column=8, padx=20, pady=20)root.mainloop()

EDIT: If you want to be able to change the list of items easily, you can use a function init_checkbuttons to create the checkbuttons from your list of items. This function does the following things:

1. Destroy all previous checkbuttons
2. Clear the listbox
3. Create the new checkbuttons
4. Change the command of the display button

You can notice that the display function now takes cb_list and cb_var in argument, so that you can change them.

import tkinter as tkroot = tk.Tk()
checkbutton_frame = tk.Frame(root)
checkbutton_frame.grid(row=1, column=0)def display(cb_list, cb_var):# clear listboxselected_item.delete(0, 'end')# add selected items in listboxfor text, var in zip(cb_list, cb_var):if var.get():# the checkbutton is selectedselected_item.insert('end', text)def init_checkbuttons(cb_list, cl=1):# destroy previous checkbuttons (assuming that checkbutton_frame only contains the checkbuttons)cbs = list(checkbutton_frame.children.values())for cb in cbs:cb.destroy()# clear listboxselected_item.delete(0, 'end')# create new checkbuttonscb_var = []  # to store the variables associated to the checkbuttonsfor r, op in enumerate(cb_list):var = tk.BooleanVar(root, False)cb = tk.Checkbutton(checkbutton_frame, variable=var, text=op, relief='ridge')cb.grid(row=r, column=cl, sticky="w")cb_var.append(var)# change display commanddisplay_button.configure(command=lambda: display(cb_list, cb_var))cb_list = ['pencil', 'pen', 'book', 'bag', 'watch', 'glasses', 'passport', 'clothes', 'shoes', 'cap']
cb_list2 = ['ball', 'table', 'bat']selected_item = tk.Listbox(root, width=30, height=20)
selected_item.grid(row=1, column=6, padx=20, pady=20, columnspan=2, sticky='e')display_button = tk.Button(root, text='DISPLAY')
display_button.grid(row=1, column=8, padx=20, pady=20)tk.Button(root, text='Change list', command=lambda: init_checkbuttons(cb_list2)).grid(row=2, column=8)init_checkbuttons(cb_list)
root.mainloop()
