St.selectbox dissapearing

if st.button(“START QUIZ”):
with col2:
st.selectbox(…)

The above code is what am currently using, but when i click on the “START QUIZ button”, it displays the QUIZES but when i choose an option, the whole quizzes disappear and i have to click on START QUIZ again.

PLS HELPPPPPPPPPP!!!

I tried, when selectbox under a button will appear like you described.
maybe you can try this to replace:

import streamlit as st
with st.expander("click me to make a choose"):
	choose = st.selectbox("please select one option",("A","B","C"))
	if choose:
		st.write("Your choose option is" + " " + choose)

Thanks @BeyondMyself , I understand above logic but this doesnt solve my problem, The problem is my app keep refreshing itself immediately i select an option from the select box

yes, I tried your design, when button is clicked, and change selectbox option, selectbox will disappear.
So I suggest you use st.expander to replace st.button as a temp solution.

Okay thanks…I will try this method…@BeyondMyself

Hi @kareemrasheed89 ,

The ideal solution to your problem would be to use st.form with session state.

@akshanshkmr any update pls

Hi @kareemrasheed89,

Apologies for the delay, you can do something like this

from time import sleep

def is_game_active():
    if 'game_active' in st.session_state.keys() and st.session_state['game_active']:
        return True
    else:
        return False

if is_game_active():
    # TODO: implement logic to fetch random_question (and options) on each rerun
    res = st.selectbox('random_question', ['a','b','c','d'])
    if st.button('confirm'):
        st.session_state['random_question'] = res # saves answers for each random question in sesion state for future reference
        st.info('you chose option: ' + res)
        sleep(1)
        st.experimental_rerun()
else:
    if st.button('start game'):
        st.session_state['game_active'] = True
        st.experimental_rerun()

Feel free to experiment on Streamlit Playground (st-playground.herokuapp.com)
