Help with Tkinter Windows

[Billy Blue]

Hello

I am currently designing my first GUI and am having difficulties opening and closing new windows. I have been looking for ideas for sometime now, however when ever I fit them into my code it does not seem to work.

What I am trying to do is open up a fresh window when a button is clicked and closing or hiding the master window.

I've attached my code and any assistance would be appriciated.

You can use withdraw and deiconify on a frame. A simple example that will close and open a Frame or a top level/root ("window" is a generic term and not specific enough for your question). You can also create an entirely new frame within Toplevel with a button click's callback.

import Tkinter

class TestClass():

   def __init__(self):
      self.top = Tkinter.Tk()
      self.top.title("Test")
      self.top.geometry("200x150+500+5")

      frame_1 = Tkinter.Toplevel()
      frame_1.title("frame 1")

      but_1 = Tkinter.Button(self.top, text='DeIconify',                        
              command=frame_1.deiconify)                                        
      but_1.pack(side="bottom", fill=Tkinter.X, expand=1) 

      but_2 = Tkinter.Button(self.top, text='Quit',
              command=self.top.quit, bg='blue', fg='yellow')
      but_2.pack(side="bottom", fill=Tkinter.X, expand=1)

      can_1 = Tkinter.Canvas(frame_1)
      can_1.pack()
      can_1.create_rectangle(50,50,100,100, outline='white', fill='black')

      cont = Tkinter.Button(frame_1, text='Withdraw',
              command=frame_1.withdraw, bg='red', fg='white' )
      cont.pack(side="bottom", fill=Tkinter.X, expand=1)


      self.top.mainloop()

Hi dwblas

Many thanks for taking the time to reply. I'm not sure if the code you have sent will do what I intend it to.

Effectivley, upon the click of a button I would like one frame to close and also another frame to open a bit like a 'next' button.

Kind regards

Use deiconify (or destroy) to close one frame, and add a new Frame class for the new window.
