pygtk closing popup - destroy function doesn't work for button

[drzoo2]

Completely noob question as I am not a programmer but really trying hard to learn Python (Object oriented programming in general).

I am writing a program in python that calls a popup window with some general information with an ok button. If I close the window using the window's close button I have no problems but If I call the same destroy function using the button call, it will not kill the popup.

def destroy(self, widget, data=None):
        print("Delete event occurred")
        return False
 
self.popup.connect("destroy", self.destroy)
 
self.button_pop.connect("clicked", self.destroy)
 

self.popup.connect("destroy", self.destroy)
is the gtk window and......

self.button_pop.connect("clicked", self.destroy)
is the button widget in the window. How do I handle this?

I realize this is a really beginner question. I'm really stuck on this. I can't find an answer. Currently I'm hiding the window with a button call to a function that just runs.....

self.popup.hide()

I don't think this is the right way to handle the popup window since the window's close is tied to the destroy function. It works when called from the window but not from the button.

I would try to destroy the popup window itself:

for example this is code I used in an application to display errors

self.errorm = gtk.MessageDialog(parent = self.mainwindow, buttons = gtk.BUTTONS_OK, flags = gtk.DIALOG_MODAL, type = gtk.MESSAGE_ERROR, message_format = "Error occured:\n"+message)
        self.errorm.set_title("Error occured")
        result = self.errorm.run()
        self.errorm.destroy()

micmast,
Thanks you very much.

I modified this code........

def destroy(self, widget, data=None):
        print("Delete event occurred")
        return False
 
self.popup.connect("destroy", self.destroy)
 
self.button_pop.connect("clicked", self.destroy)
 

too this.......

def destroy(self, widget, data=None):
        print("Delete event occurred")
        self.popup.destroy()
 
self.popup.connect("destroy", self.destroy)
 
self.button_pop.connect("clicked", self.destroy)
 

and all is well. All I added was self.popup.destroy(). I swear I tried that! This has been haunting me for a week. I just couldn't get it. Your help is very much appreciated.......back to coding.
