) Draw a GUI and write a program to show case how items can be added, deleted, and countedin a list box control.

Here is a simple example of how you can create a GUI with Python using the tkinter library. This program will allow you to add, delete, and count items in a list box.

First, let's create the GUI:

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import messagebox

# Create the main window
root = tk.Tk()
root.title("List Box Control")

# Create a listbox
listbox = tk.Listbox(root)
listbox.pack(pady=10)

# Create an entry box
entry = tk.Entry(root)
entry.pack(pady=10)

# Create functions to add, delete, and count items
def add_item():
    listbox.insert(tk.END, entry.get())
    entry.delete(0, tk.END)

def delete_item():
    try:
        # delete selected item
        listbox.delete(listbox.curselection())
    except:
        messagebox.showinfo("Warning", "No item selected")

def count_items():
    messagebox.showinfo("Count", f"Total items: {listbox.size()}")

# Create buttons to call the functions
add_button = tk.Button(root, text="Add Item", command=add_item)
add_button.pack(pady=10)

delete_button = tk.Button(root, text="Delete Item", command=delete_item)
delete_button.pack(pady=10)

count_button = tk.Button(root, text="Count Items", command=count_items)
count_button.pack(pady=10)

# Run the main loop
root.mainloop()

In this program:

• We first import the necessary libraries and create the main window.
• We then create a listbox and an entry box.
• We define three functions: add_item, delete_item, and count_items. These functions are used to add an item to the listbox, delete the selected item from the listbox, and count the total number of items in the listbox, respectively.
• We create three buttons and associate each button with one of the functions.
• Finally, we start the main loop to run the application.
