I've been trying to build a fairly simple message box in tkinter, that
when a button is pushed, will pop up a box, that has a line of text, an
entry widget, and a button, that when the button is pushed, will return
the value in the line of text. However, while I can read the value of
the button, I want to wait till the button is pushed to return the
value. Any ideas of how I could do this? 5 4585

The way I do it is to set self.result in the dialog to the return value
just before closing and exiting.
And then instead of openiug the dialog directly I use a function to pass
and sometimes modify the values to the dialog and then return the
dialog.result value after it's closed.
Something like...
def domydialog(*arg s, **kwds):
#
# Check and modify args or kwds here if needed.
#
mydialog(*args, **kwds)
return mydialog.result
Cheers,
Ron
Do you have any info on dialogs? I've been trying to find some, without
alot of success...
Thanks alot, that helped TONS! Just had to modify it slightly, but,
well, it works great now. Thanks!

Be sure and look at the examples in python24/lib/lib-tk. The Dialog.py
file there does pretty much what you want.
In the dialog caller example I gave, it should have been ...
def domydialog(*arg s, **kwds):
#
# check or change args or kwds
#
d = mydialog(*args, **kwds)
return d.result
I left out the returned object name 'd'. Which is needed to get the
result from the dialog instance.

I'm trying to come up with a very simple Tkinter test application that

this is a contrived test application to help me understand Tkinter and
Python, not an actual application yet. I've trivially subclassed
Tkinter.Canvas into ColorCanvas, added a bunch of ColorCanvases...

Please take a look at and run the code snippet shown below.
It creates a canvas with vertical & Horizontal scroll-bars.
If you shrink the window to smaller than the area of the canvas, the
scroll-bars work as advertised. That's great.
However, if you click the Left Mouse button, it calls code which
expands the width of the canvas by 100 pixels. The area being viewed
expands correspondingly..... BUT I DON'T WANT IT TO!!

Below is a simple code snippet showing a Tkinter Window bearing a
canvas and 2 connected scrollbars (Vertical & Horizontal). Works fine.
When you shrink/resize the window the scrollbars adjust accordingly.
However, what I really want to happen is that the area of the canvas
that the scrollbars show (the Scrollregion) should expand as the window
grows. It doesn't currently do this. although, if the window shrinks
smaller than the...

Hello:
Below I have included a stripped down version of the GUI I am working on.
It contains 2 dialog boxes - one main and one settings. It has the following
problems, probably all related, that I am hoping someone knows what I am
doing wrong:
1) Pressing the Settings.. Button multiple times, brings up many instances
of the Settings Panel. I just want it to bring up one. Is there an easy
way to do that?

Hi,
One of my python program needs tkinter to be installed to run
successfully.
I am using Redhat 9.0 and hence tried installing by copying the

failing by throwing
the below errors. Should i need to configure / install any specific

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
