Here is the situation: I have a window with a bunch of widgets in it. I want to clear the objects in a given frame and recreate them to update them.
The example below destroys the top level frame, and so I can't recreate the widgets. I am likely doing this wrong. should I be doing this in a class? Thanks for the help. from Tkinter import * def createLeftWidgets(left): # # Add the Net Status Section # conditions = LabelFrame(left, text="Net Conditions",bg="Gray") conditions.grid(row=0,column=0); button = Button(conditions, text="Refresh", command=refreshNetConditions, highlightbackground="Green") button.grid(row=0,column=1, sticky=E) cText = Text(conditions,bg="Gray") cText.insert(END, root.netHistory.get()) cText.config(height=12,width=40) cText.grid(row=1,column=0,columnspan=2) status = LabelFrame(left, text="Net Details",bg="Gray") status.grid(row=1,column=0,sticky=N+E+W+S); lblNetNumber = Label(status, text="Net Number") lblNetNumber.grid( row=19, column=0, columnspan=2,sticky=W) return(conditions) def refreshNetConditions(): global frameLeft frameLeft.destroy() root.netHistory.set( "inserting text\n" + root.netHistory.get()) createLeftWidgets(frameLeft) root = Tk() root.netHistory = StringVar() root.netHistory.set("goes into the text widget") frame = Frame(root) frame.grid() frameLeft = createLeftWidgets(frame) root.mainloop() -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
