controlling the windows

[varun chadha]

i am developing an application using Tkinter where 'next' button
takes to another window and removes the first one from screen and
'back' button bring me back to previous window and so on.
though i am able to move from one window to another but is unable to
remove the previous one from the screen. does anybody have a idea how
to do away with this problem.

I've never done that with Tkinter, but this thread talks about one way
to do it:

I use wxPython myself and it's fairly trivial to do it in that
toolkit. Hopefully the Tkinter gurus will jump in here.

There are several solutions to this. You could just pack_forget the
another window and pack a new one in its place.
I have just prepared a simple Wizard, you can take a look at it here:
http://code.google.com/p/python-ttk/wiki/ttkWizard and you will notice
that it uses ttk. If you already use tk 8.5, and tkinter compiled
against it, then ttk is available, otherwise you have to install tile
or compile tkinter with tk 8.5 (python 2.6b1 includes tk 8.5.2 in the
windows build). To use the ttk widgets you will need a wrapper and you
will find one here: http://code.google.com/p/python-ttk/
