is it possible to find out the image assigned to the button?

[ArturDomhan]

I wanted to find out which image is currently on the button, and when I used .cget('image'), I got something like:

<customtkinter.windows.widgets.image.ctk_image.CTkImage object at 0x000001BD92568A50>

Is it possible to get something more specific? After all, during the interface rendering, the image assigned via image= is definitely known.

Sometimes I need to know which image is currently on the button, and I really don’t want to just reassign it — I’d like to make a change only if the check shows a specific image.

You can see how this looks, and if everything is just constantly reassigned, it turns into a mess.

I don't think there is any way, because the button image is not a string, but a PIL object. Unless you store the path separately, like

import customtkinter as ctk
from PIL import Image

def get_image():
    print(image_path)

root = ctk.CTk()

image_path = "image.png"
image = ctk.CTkImage(Image.open(image_path), size=(40, 40))

button = ctk.CTkButton(root, image=image, command=get_image)
button.pack()

root.mainloop()

oh I see, thank you.

seems like I can presave image path and get it later.
something like this:

import customtkinter as ctk
from PIL import Image

def get_image():
    print(image_path)

root = ctk.CTk()

image_path = "image.png"
image = ctk.CTkImage(Image.open(image_path), size=(40, 40))

image_path2 = "image2.png"
image2 = ctk.CTkImage(Image.open(image_path2), size=(40, 40))


button = ctk.CTkButton(root, image=image, command=get_image)
button.pack()

button.configure('image'=image2)

root.mainloop()

so it should return image_path2 in this case.
I'll try this way next time.

I also thought I could pre-save .cget('image') responses when I know the image for sure and check that way.
But if this method works, its possibilities are much wider.

I suspect my code is bad (I started and wrote 7k lines almost from scratch), but my normal button looks like this:

im_ENGAGE_off = ctk.CTkImage(light_image=Image.open(os.path.dirname(__file__) + "\\engg_off.png"),
                             dark_image=Image.open(os.path.dirname(__file__) + "\\engg_off.png"),size=(75, 40))
im_ENGAGE_red = ctk.CTkImage(light_image=Image.open(os.path.dirname(__file__) + "\\engg_red.png"),
                             dark_image=Image.open(os.path.dirname(__file__) + "\\engg_red.png"),size=(75, 40))
im_ENGAGE_cian = ctk.CTkImage(light_image=Image.open(os.path.dirname(__file__) + "\\engg_cian.png"),
                              dark_image=Image.open(os.path.dirname(__file__) + "\\engg_cian.png"),size=(75, 40))
im_ENGAGE_white = ctk.CTkImage(light_image=Image.open(os.path.dirname(__file__) + "\\engg_white.png"),
                               dark_image=Image.open(os.path.dirname(__file__) + "\\engg_white.png"),size=(75, 40))
BTN_ENGAGE = ctk.CTkButton(master=SPDCON_frame, text='', command=ENGG_switch, font=("Roboto", 16, 'bold'),
                                    corner_radius = 0, border_width = 2, hover_color = '#200', text_color='#f00', fg_color = '#000',
                                    image=im_ENGAGE_off, border_spacing=0, border_color='#000',)
BTN_ENGAGE.place(x=111, y=191, w=75, h=40)
