Hi, I've created my first Tkinter GUI class which consists of some buttons that trigger functions. I have also created a tkFileDialog.askdirectory control to local a root folder for log files.
I have several file paths that depend on the value of tkFileDialog.askdirectory should I create an object that inherits this value or can I point functions at the GUI class? I am creating the tkinter GUI instance using; if __name__ == "__main__": GUI = AuditorGUI() GUI.mainloop() class AuditorGUI(Frame): def __init__(self): Frame.__init__(self) self.pack(expand = YES, fill = BOTH) ## Create GUI objects self.currentdir = StringVar() self.currentdir.set(os.getcwd()) self.logdir = Button(self, text="Choose Data directory",command=self.choose_dir) self.logdir.grid(row=1,column=0,sticky='nsew',pady=20,padx=20) self.labeldirpath = Label(self, textvariable=self.currentdir) def choose_dir(self): dirname = tkFileDialog.askdirectory (parent=self,initialdir=self.currentdir.get(),title='Please select a directory') if len(dirname ) > 0: self.currentdir.set(dirname) I think I have created an instance of the AuditorGUI class called GUI so should be able to access the path using GUI.currentdir but this doesn't work. I'm still struggling with classes so not sure whether my problem is tkinter related or not. Thanks, MW -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
