Closing dialog window in Tkinter

[Svennglenn]

Hi

I'm creating a program in Tkinter and I would need
help to create a "close button" for dialog windows.

One of my typical dialog windows look like this:

def show_window(self):
top = Toplevel()

Label(top, text="Some text").pack()
Label(top, text="Some more text").pack()


So what code do i need to insert to create a button that
can close this window? If you need to look at some more
code from the program to be sure please till me.

You can add this:

button = Button(top, text="Close Me", command=top.destroy)
button.pack()

That will kill the Toplevel window.

Cheers,

Thank you, it worked great

Do you need this toplevel window to not be iconified--where it shows up
as a separate window? You can also do this:

def new_window(self, master):
t = Toplevel()
t.transient(master)

etc...

Svennglen, I put this in here because most likely you're next question
may be, how in the world do I make a modal window? I believe it was my
next question after I finally figured out how to kill a child window
without wiping out the entire app ;-). Check out Frederik Lundh's
tutorial:

You can now buy a PDF form of John Grayson's Python and Tkinter
Programming from Manning Publications. I won't provide the link so that
no one will think I'm spamming -). Grayson's book is essential
reading if you are to write any serious apps with Tkinter.

Good luck,

Harlin
