Wondering about new windows in Tkinter
 

Hello all!

Ok here's my problem:

I have a Hello World type program that I want to run in steps, and each step is in a new window. When a "next" button is pressed the old window terminates and a new one is created. Now I don't know much about the command = whatever thingy so I was wondering if you could give me some info on it? Oh and I mostly work with .bind so if so can you give me the example in that form?

Help appreciated.

This snippet will bring up a message window using Toplevel() ...

# display message in a child window



from Tkinter import *



def messageWindow(message):

    # create child window

    win = Toplevel()

    # display message

    Label(win, text=message).pack()

    # quit child window and return to root window

    Button(win, text='OK', command=win.destroy).pack()



def createMessage():

    global counter

    counter = counter + 1

    message = "This is message number " + str(counter)

    messageWindow(message)

    



counter = 0

    

# create root window

root = Tk()

# put a button on it, command executes the given function on button-click

Button(root, text='Bring up Message', command=createMessage).pack()

# start event-loop

root.mainloop()
