To close a tkinter window, you can call the destroy() method on the window object. This will close the window and release all associated resources. Alternatively, you can use the quit() method to close the entire tkinter application. These methods provide a simple and effective way to close tkinter windows programmatically.
How to close a tkinter window when another window is closed?
You can achieve this by using the wait_window method in Tkinter. Here is an example of how you can close a Tkinter window when another window is closed:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 |
import tkinter as tk def on_closing(): root.destroy() root = tk.Tk() root.title("Main Window") sub_window = tk.Toplevel(root) sub_window.title("Sub Window") # Bind the closing event of the sub window to a function that closes the main window sub_window.protocol("WM_DELETE_WINDOW", on_closing) root.wait_window(sub_window) |
In this example, we create a main window (root) and a sub window (sub_window). We bind the closing event of the sub window to the on_closing function, which simply destroys the main window. Lastly, we use the wait_window method on the main window to keep it running until the sub window is closed.
How to close a tkinter window with a keyboard shortcut?
You can close a tkinter window with a keyboard shortcut by binding a key event to the window and then defining a function to close the window when that key is pressed. Here is an example code snippet to achieve this:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 |
import tkinter as tk def close_window(event): root.destroy() root = tk.Tk() root.bind('<Control-w>', close_window) # Close window when Ctrl + w is pressed root.mainloop() |
In this code snippet, we create a tkinter window and bind the key event <Control-w> to the close_window function, which calls the destroy() method on the root window to close it when the key combination Ctrl + w is pressed. You can change the key event to any other key combination that you prefer.
What is the difference between calling ‘destroy’ and ‘quit’ on a tkinter window?
In tkinter, calling the destroy method on a window will forcibly close and destroy the window, while calling the quit method will not destroy the window but will stop the main event loop, causing the application to exit.
In simpler terms, calling destroy will immediately close the window and remove it from the screen, while calling quit will not close the window but will stop the application from running.
