I have been plowing through docs and books for a day trying to answer
this to not avail. If someone could answer or point me to docs I would
be very happy.
I'm sure it is a simple case that I over looked somewhere.
I have 2 classes that are tk windows, one is a child of the other.
At the top level of the file the parent is made as 'app'. The child
class is spawned from inside the parent class. When the child class is
started several buttons of the parent class need to be DISABLED(better
safe that sorry stuff). The child instance assumes the instance name of
the parent, app. I know this is sloppy.
I need to know how to access the parent instance from the child
instance.
I have tried global and __main__.app and that doesn't work.
the code looks like:
class parent:
self.button.config(state=NORMAL)
def open_child(self):
kid = child()
class child(parent):
app.button.config(state=DISABLED)
app = parent()
Thanks for any help.
