Hi,
Environment:
Python 2.7
Linux (Ubuntu 15.10)
I am experiencing a problem with the code below running the "genF"
function on opening the second window. I expected that function to be
executed on clicking the 'fill text' button. The text widget gets filled
on opening the window. This is my first attempt at opening a second
window, so I expect I have done something stupid.
#! /usr/bin/python
from Tkinter import *
root=Tk()
def genF(ofield):
for x in range(10):
ofield.insert(END, x)
ofield.insert(END, "\n")
def second():
main=Toplevel(root)
ofield=Text(main, height=15, width=15)
ofield.pack()
B3=Button(main, text='exit', command=main.destroy)
B3.pack()
B4=Button(main, text='fill text', command=genF(ofield))
B4.pack()
main.mainloop()
b1=Button(root, text='open second window', command=second)
b1.pack()
b2=Button(root, text='exit', command=root.destroy)
b2.pack()
root.mainloop()
Thanks,
Chris
