im having trouble finding answer this. is possible search tk listbox exact entry or string , return location or index in list?

thank you.

you can use get() method 1 or more items list.

in first step, use get(0, end) list of items in list; in second step use finding index of item given list containing in python forwards index() method:

import tkinter tk  master = tk.tk()  listbox = tk.listbox(master) listbox.pack()  # insert few elements in listbox: item in ["zero", "one", "two", "three", "four", "five", "six", "seven"]:     listbox.insert(tk.end, item) # return index of desired element seek def check_index(element):    try:        index = listbox.get(0, "end").index(element)        return index    except valueerror:        print'item can not found in list!'        index = -1 # or whatever value want assign default        return index  print check_index('three')    # print 3  print check_index(100) # print:                      # item can not found in list!                      # -1  tk.mainloop()
