[Tkinter-discuss] How to open a file from Tkinter window?

[Michael O'Donnell]

Hi Marsel,

The following code allows you to use buttons
on one window to  bring another window to the top:

from Tkinter import *

windows=dict()
windows[1]=Toplevel()
windows[2]=Toplevel()
windows[3]=Toplevel()

for wid1 in (1,2,3):
    windows[wid1].title("Window "+str(wid1))
    windows[wid1].minsize(width=280, height=20)
    fr=Frame(windows[wid1])
    fr.pack(side=TOP)
    for wid2 in (1,2,3):

        if wid1==wid2: continue
        Button(fr, text=str(wid2),
               command=lambda w=windows[wid2]: w.focus_set()).pack(side=LEFT)

Is that what you wanted?

Is this a different question? I thought you were talking about
connecting windows?
