Tkinter Reminder MessageBox Show up

Hi everyone,

I am trying to create a reminder using Tkinter.

I can give the appropriate time and the same time change a label's text,but I want to show up a MessageBox,too.

My code is below:
(I am get an error like: "TkMessageBox not defined")

Code:

from Tkinter import *
import time
import tkMessageBox

form1=Tk()
form1.title('Project')
form1.resizable(width=FALSE, height=FALSE)
form1.geometry('1032x680+200+200')

time1 = ''
clock = Label(form1, font=('times', 20, 'bold'), bg='red')
clock.pack(fill=BOTH, expand=1)
def tick():
    global time1
    time2 = time.strftime('%H:%M:%S')
    if time2 != time1:
        time1 = time2
        clock.config(text=time2)
    clock.after(200, tick)
tick()
reminder = Label(form1, font=('remind', 20, 'bold'),bg='green')
reminder.pack(fill=BOTH , expand=1)
reminder.config(text="o reminder")
def hour():
    global x,y,z
    x=float(time.strftime("%H"))
    y=float(time.strftime("%M"))
    z=float(time.strftime("%S"))
    if y==37: reminder.config(text="First")
    if y==38:                       
        reminder.config(text="Second") 
        tkMessageBox.showinfo(text='Something',message='Else') 
    reminder.after(200,hour)
    
hour()

form1.mainloop()

If I comment the:

Code:

  tkMessageBox.showinfo(text='Something',message='Else')

..everything is ok.

But how can I show up a Messagebox...??

Thanks in advance.

Use a multi-line label.

How about the tkinter Dialog?

>>> import tkinter.messagebox as MB
>>> MB.askyesno()
False
>>>

You mean I have to use a tkMessageBox..?
(I have already used it but I am getting error.....
**Sorry in my code i forgot to import MessageBox..I am going to edit it right now**)

I want to show up a MessageBox rathen than a label, because it will be more useful for the user.

What is the use of False on your code...?

Thanks.
