Here's an implementation of working with Classes in Tkinter.
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk
class windows(tk.Tk):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
tk.Tk.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
# Adding a title to the window
self.wm_title("Test Application")
# creating a frame and assigning it to container
container = tk.Frame(self, height=400, width=600)
# specifying the region where the frame is packed in root
container.pack(side="top", fill="both", expand=True)
# configuring the location of the container using grid
container.grid_rowconfigure(0, weight=1)
container.grid_columnconfigure(0, weight=1)
# We will now create a dictionary of frames
self.frames = {}
# we'll create the frames themselves later but let's add the components to the dictionary.
for F in (MainPage, SidePage, CompletionScreen):
frame = F(container, self)
# the windows class acts as the root window for the frames.
self.frames[F] = frame
frame.grid(row=0, column=0, sticky="nsew")
# Using a method to switch frames
self.show_frame(MainPage)
def show_frame(self, cont):
frame = self.frames[cont]
# raises the current frame to the top
frame.tkraise()
class MainPage(tk.Frame):
def __init__(self, parent, controller):
tk.Frame.__init__(self, parent)
label = tk.Label(self, text="Main Page")
label.pack(padx=10, pady=10)
# We use the switch_window_button in order to call the show_frame() method as a lambda function
switch_window_button = tk.Button(
self,
text="Go to the Side Page",
command=lambda: controller.show_frame(SidePage),
)
switch_window_button.pack(side="bottom", fill=tk.X)
class SidePage(tk.Frame):
def __init__(self, parent, controller):
tk.Frame.__init__(self, parent)
label = tk.Label(self, text="This is the Side Page")
label.pack(padx=10, pady=10)
switch_window_button = tk.Button(
self,
text="Go to the Completion Screen",
command=lambda: controller.show_frame(CompletionScreen),
)
switch_window_button.pack(side="bottom", fill=tk.X)
class CompletionScreen(tk.Frame):
def __init__(self, parent, controller):
tk.Frame.__init__(self, parent)
label = tk.Label(self, text="Completion Screen, we did it!")
label.pack(padx=10, pady=10)
switch_window_button = ttk.Button(
self, text="Return to menu", command=lambda: controller.show_frame(MainPage)
)
switch_window_button.pack(side="bottom", fill=tk.X)
if __name__ == "__main__":
testObj = windows()
testObj.mainloop()
