Not able hide frame while selecting default radio button

[Rashmi002]

Hii,

There is one application where two radio buttons are available.i.e default and custom. If custom is selected then one panel will be visible which contain available drives list of not selected checkbox which are generated based on list but while i am doing such things it generate checkbox many time while i am selecting custom again and again.It must be generated only once.if i select default radio then panel should be not visible.

How to make panel in tkinter or which widget will be used to hide and show checkbox?
how to generate check button on window properly?

def drive_select(self):
flag=0
if self.drive_w.get()==2:
flag=1
oc_files = []
root_dir = []
for d in string.ascii_uppercase:
if os.path.exists('%s:\' % d):
root_dir.append('%s:\' % d)
 
    frame3=Frame(self)
    frame3.pack(fill=BOTH)
    for dr in sorted(root_dir):
        chk_drive = Checkbutton(frame3, text= dr, variable= self.drive_w)
        chk_drive.pack(side=RIGHT,padx=5,pady=55)
else:
    "do something"
self.drive_w = IntVar()
self.drive_w.set(1) # Default value i.e. Default drive
sscan =[("Default",1),("Custom",2)]
 
for txt,val in sscan:
radiobtn_scan = Radiobutton(frame2,text=txt,variable=self.drive_w,value=val,command=self.drive_select)
radiobtn_scan.pack(side=LEFT, padx=5, pady=5)

Are you using Tkinter (which version-->python3.x or 2x) or are you using Wx, QT, etc.

I'm not sure I understand your delima, but generally you would do something like this simple example

from functools import partial
from Tkinter import *
 
class CB:
    def __init__(self, master):
      master.geometry("290x250+5+10" )
      self.master = master
 
      self.create_checkbuttons()
      self.create_normal_frame()
      self.create_custom_frame()
      self.exit_button()
 
 
##-------------------------------------------------------------------
    def cb_handler(self, cb_number, event):
        """ zero is the first checkbutton and one is the 2nd
        """
        print cb_number
        if cb_number==0:  ## normal
            self.nf.grid(row=0, column=2)
            self.cf.grid_forget()
        else:                  ## custom
            self.cf.grid(row=0, column=2)
            self.nf.grid_forget()
 
        self.var_1.set(0)   ## uncheck the buttons
        self.var_2.set(0)
 
    ##-------------------------------------------------------------------
    def create_checkbuttons(self):
        """ each checkbutton will raise it's own frame
        """
        self.cb_frame=Frame(self.master)
 
        ## first checkbutton
        self.var_1 = IntVar()
        self.var_1.set(0)          ## off=default
        b = Checkbutton(self.cb_frame, text="Normal", \
                            font=("courier", 10), variable=self.var_1)
        b.grid(row=0, column=0)
        b.bind ( "<Button-1>", partial(self.cb_handler, 0))  ##<--zero is normal
 
        ## second checkbutton
        self.var_2 = IntVar()
        self.var_2.set(0)          ## off=default
        b2 = Checkbutton(self.cb_frame, text="Custom", \
                            font=("courier", 10), variable=self.var_2)
        b2.grid(row=1, column=0)
        b2.bind ( "<Button-1>", partial(self.cb_handler, 1))  ##<--one is custom
        self.cb_frame.grid(row=0, column=0)
 
    ##-------------------------------------------------------------------
    def create_custom_frame(self):
        self.cf=Frame(self.master)
        Label(self.cf, text="Custom", fg="blue",
              height=10, width=10)).grid()
 
    ##-------------------------------------------------------------------
    def create_normal_frame(self):
        self.nf=Frame(self.master)
        Label(self.nf, text="Normal", fg="red",
              height=10, width=10).grid()
 
    ##-------------------------------------------------------------------
    def exit_button(self):
      exit=  Button(self.master, text='CANCEL',
                   command=self.master.quit, bg='red', fg='white' )
      exit.grid(row=10, column=0, columnspan=2)

if __name__ == "__main__":
   root = Tk()
   xx=CB(root)
   root.mainloop()

Go to the link and see the bugs..

You won't find many on any forum who will click on a blind link. Note that if the program is too large to post it is also too large for a volunteer to wade through. Finally, post what testing you have already done so we can eliminate them.
