如何将我的 python 代码实现为 tkinter gui 代码，因为由于多个 while 循环运行，没有任何工作可以停止程序

Question

I want to add this code into my tkinter gui code and i tried making it using command in buttons but the problem is, program wont stop running, it just freezes and i alrdy tried things like window.destroy(),exit() but it just closes the window but exit doesnt quits me out of program until i press the stop button myself

program code

import cv2
import numpy as np
from PIL import ImageGrab
screen_size = (1366, 768)
def recorder():
    fourcc = cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc(*"XVID")
    fps = 20.0
    output = cv2.VideoWriter("output.avi", fourcc, fps, (screen_size))
    while True:
        img = ImageGrab.grab()
        img_np = np.array(img)
        frame = cv2.cvtColor(img_np, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
        output.write(frame)
    output.release()
    cv2.destroyAllWindows()

Can someone help me add the both code and without freezing the window.... I also tried threading but it didnt worked to stop the program.

tkinter gui code

from tkinter import *

window = Tk()
window.geometry("500x200+460+170")
window.resizable(0, 0)
window.configure(bg='#030818')

Label(window, text="Recording", fg="white",bg="#030818",font=("Helvetica", 23, "bold")).pack()
Button(window, text="Start Recording", bd=0, bg="gray",fg="white",font=("Helvetica", 15, "bold")).place(x=170,y=60)
Button(window, text="Stop Recording", bd=0, bg="gray",fg="white",font=("Helvetica", 15, "bold")).place(x=170,y=110)


window.mainloop()

First your code has never executed recorder() because you have not assigned any function to the two buttons.

Second you need to run recorder() in a thread so that it won't block tkinter mainloop() .

In order to stop the recording, you need to find a way to break out from the while loop. Normally threading.Event object is used in multi-threaded application.

Below are the required changes to achieve the goal:

import threading
...

recording = threading.Event()  # flag used for breaking out the while loop

def recorder():
    print("recording started")
    fourcc = cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc(*"XVID")
    fps = 20.0
    output = cv2.VideoWriter("output.avi", fourcc, fps, screen_size)
    recording.set()  # set the recording flag
    while recording.is_set(): # keep running until recording flag is clear
        img = ImageGrab.grab().resize(screen_size)
        img_np = np.array(img)
        frame = cv2.cvtColor(img_np, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
        output.write(frame)
    output.release()
    cv2.destroyAllWindows()
    print("recording stopped")

def start_recording():
    # make sure only one recording thread is running
    if not recording.is_set():
        # start the recording task in a thread
        threading.Thread(target=recorder).start()

def stop_recording():
    # stop recording by clearing the flag
    recording.clear()

...
Button(window, text="Start Recording", command=start_recording, bd=0, bg="gray",fg="white",font=("Helvetica", 15, "bold")).place(x=170,y=60)
Button(window, text="Stop Recording", command=stop_recording, bd=0, bg="gray",fg="white",font=("Helvetica", 15, "bold")).place(x=170,y=110)
...
