[Tkinter-discuss] A Hello and a Question

[Olivier Feys]

Here is a small example :

import Tkinter as tk
def change_frame(i,j):
   frames[i].pack_forget()
   frames[j].pack()

frames = []

r = tk.Tk()

#frames that you fill with your widgets
f1 = tk.Frame(r)
tk.Button(f1,command=lambda :change_frame(0,1),text='go to step 1').pack()

f2 = tk.Frame(r)
tk.Button(f2,command=lambda :change_frame(1,2),text='go to step 2').pack()

f3 = tk.Frame(r)
tk.Label(f3,text='step2').pack()


frames = [f1,f2,f3]

f1.pack()
r.mainloop()
