Overview

Need to clone the Attendance Management Program application shown in the screenshot using CustomTkinter framework.

Technical Stack

• Frontend Framework: CustomTkinter
  • Modern and customizable UI components
  • Better visual appearance than standard Tkinter
  • Support for themes and dark mode
  • Responsive widgets

Application Features (based on screenshot)

The application appears to be a desktop-based Attendance Management System with the following features:

• User Interface Components (to be implemented with CustomTkinter):

  • CTk-based menu bar with Data, Attendance, Search/Print, Maintenance/Options, Device management, and Help
  • CTkFrame-based toolbar with CustomTkinter buttons for:
    • Employees (CTkButton with icon)
    • AC Log (CTkButton with icon)
    • Report (CTkButton with icon)
    • Device (CTkButton with icon)
    • Del Device (CTkButton with icon)
    • Connect/Disconnect (CTkButton with icon)
    • Exit system (CTkButton with icon)

• Device Management Interface:

  • CTkTableView for Machine List showing connected devices
  • Support for multiple connection types (Serial Port, Ethernet, USB)
  • Device status monitoring with CustomTkinter indicators
  • Connection parameters interface using CTkEntry and CTkComboBox for:
    • Baud Rate selection (115200 shown)
    • IP Address input (192.168.1.201 example shown)
    • Port configuration (COM1, 4370 shown)

• Key Functionality Interfaces:

  • Employee management using CTkForms
  • Attendance logging with CTkTableView
  • Data import/export using CTkFileDialog
  • Database backup interface
  • User info and fingerprint management forms
  • Department management interface
  • Administrator control panel
  • Employee scheduling interface
  • Maintenance timetables using CTkCalendar
  • Shift management system
  • Attendance rules configuration

Implementation Requirements

1. Set up CustomTkinter development environment
2. Design and implement the main application window using CTk
3. Create custom themes matching the original application's color scheme
4. Implement responsive layout using CustomTkinter's grid system
5. Develop device communication protocols for various connection types
6. Create database schema and implement data layer
7. Build employee management system with CustomTkinter forms
8. Implement attendance tracking and logging system
9. Create custom widgets where needed using CustomTkinter's base classes

Code Structure

# Example structure for main application
import customtkinter as ctk

class AttendanceManagementSystem(ctk.CTk):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        
        # Configure window
        self.title("Attendance Management Program")
        self.geometry("1200x800")
        
        # Set theme
        ctk.set_appearance_mode("light")
        ctk.set_default_color_theme("blue")
        
        # Create main components
        self.create_menu_bar()
        self.create_toolbar()
        self.create_device_list()
        
    def create_menu_bar(self):
        # Implement menu using CustomTkinter widgets
        pass
        
    def create_toolbar(self):
        # Implement toolbar using CTkFrame and CTkButtons
        pass
        
    def create_device_list(self):
        # Implement device list using CTkTableView
        pass
