[Tkinter-discuss] creating a conformation window that does multiple commands

[Stewart Midwinter]

Jonathan:

I'm struggling a little bit to understand your note, but it seems you
want to do the following:
1. get confirmation from the user before quitting the app.  That's easy. 
2. in the confirmation, if the user chooses to not quit the app, you
want to run some other command. That's also easy.

My attached example accomplishes both of these objectives; maybe it'll
give you some ideas.

#quit-confirm.py
from Tkinter import *
from tkMessageBox import askyesno

root=Tk()

def editOptions():
    top=Toplevel()
    lab=Label(top, text="Do some stuff here")
    lab.pack(side='top')
    but1=Button(top, text="Close", command=top.destroy)
    but1.pack(side='top')
    
def confirm():
    ans=askyesno(title='Quit',message='Do you really want to quit?')
    if ans: sys.exit()
    #or we can also do the following:
    #if ans: root.destroy()
    else:
        editOptions()

mb=Menu(root)
root.configure(menu=mb)
mb.insert_cascade("end", label="File", underline=0)
mb.insert_cascade("end", label="Edit", underline=0, command=editOptions)
mb.insert_cascade("end", label="Quit", underline=0, command=confirm)

root.mainloop()
