using tkinter i created a gui and put a button on the frame class mygui: def __init__(self, parent): ... self.okButton = Button(self.btnFrame) self.okButton.configure(width=somewdth,text="OK", anchor=W,disabledforeground="tan") self.okButton.bind("<Button-1>",self.button1Click)
then in the buttonClick(self,event) i want to disable it till some time consuming calculations are completed ..then i enable it def button1Click(self, event): self.okButton.configure(state=DISABLED) print "ok disabled" somebigcalculations() self.okButton.configure(state=NORMAL) print "ok enabled" well,the button doesn't grey out when i click it ,though the print staements are executed.. but if some error happens and program exits with some ioerror(say errno2 file not found ..)then the button is shown as greyed out.. am i missing something here ? how can i get the button disabled and greyed out on clicking it? dn -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
