MONT 105S Homework 17

Due Friday, April 17, at the beginning of class.

Introduction
In this assignment, you will work with create a graphical user interface (or GUI). You will write a program to create a GUI that looks like the following (on a Mac):

When the user enters their responses and clicks on the "Submit" button, the GUI prints a message in the text box, summarizing the user's responses as follows:

Program Description
Name your program file <username>_questionnaire.py. Your program should have code to include all the GUI elements shown in the above images, with the following properties:

• Window Title: "Favorites Questionnaire"
• Window size: "500x300"
• Entry field width: 30
• Text box: height = 10, width = 60
• The layout of the GUI should be as close as you can get to the images shown above.
• The submit button should be associated with a command that runs a function called update_message.

The update_message( ) function
Write the definition of the update_message( ) function at the beginning of your program file, immediately after the line that imports the Tkinter library. The update_message( ) function creates a message with the following statements, each on a separate line:

• A line that says "Hello, user!", where user should be the text that the user enters in the text field that accepts a name.
• A line that says "I see your favorite color is colorChoice.", where colorChoice is the selected color from the radio buttons.
• A line for each of the checked checkbuttons that says "I see you like musicChoice Music.", where musicChoice refers to the checked type of music.
• A line that says "Thank you for filling out the questionnaire!"

Extra Credit opportunity (up to 5 points extra)
Create a GUI with your own questionnaire. The layout of the GUI must be different from the one in this assignment, but should have a similar or level of complexity. You will get more credit if your questionnaire is nicely laid out.

For full credit, you must have a button that carries out a command when clicked, and responds appropriately to the user's selections in your questionnaire.

For full credit you should make use of each type of GUI element we have learned about in class.

Name the file with your extra credit program: <username>_extraCredit.py.

To Submit Your Finished Project:
1. Hand in a hard copy of the file: <username>_questionnaire.py. If you have an extra credit program, also hand in a hard copy of <username>_extraCredit.py. Hand these to your instructor in class on the project's due date.

2. Print your name at the top of the cover page and staple it to the top of your hard copy.

3. In addition to the hard copy listed above, email your <username>_questionnaire.py and, if you have it, your <username>_extraCredit.py files to me at croyden@mathcs.holycross.edu

Get started early and have fun!
