hello everybody
suppose we have a tk frame in witch there are lots of frame,
and we want to hide one of them(frames)
what should we do , and what will be the result in pack or grid goemetry?

faramarz,

Most likely, you'll need to replace the 'forgotten' frame with another
one or other widget. You can immediately do *.pack() and it will
replace the frame (assumming you haven't already packed something else
there).

lots of thanks to the nice guys of python community,

i do it ,and it works just as i want,
but unfourtunatly a new problem arise.
the problem is :
when i use pack_forget , i just work,
but suppose we want to call it in func or method,
i choose to test it in a func:

def do_unpack(f):
f.pack_forget()
....
b=Button(f3,text="hello",command=do_unpack(f3))

it does not work & the interpreter does not claim any error.
so how can i send a pointer (refrence) of an object to a func or method.
should i use any prop. of frame instance(ex:f3)?
in other words i want to know how can i send
arg as refrence in python.(ex: object of general MyClass)?
thank you again





i am a real newbie in python & tkinter,

def do_unpack(f):
f.pack_forget()
...
b=Button(f3,text="hello",command=do_unpack(f3))

it does not work & the interpreter does not claim any error.

it works perfectly fine, but it doesn't do what you want.

do_unpack(f3)

is a function call, so you're calling the function *before* you create
the button, and you're then passing the return value (None) to the
button widget.

if you want to use the function as a callback, use a lambda:

b=Button(..., command=lambda: do_unpack(f3))

or a local function

def cb():
do_unpack(f3)
b=Button(..., command=cb)

</F>
