Hi Folks, I need to update the text field of a Label created in Main, but can't find a way to do it. Please take a look at my code:
from Tkinter import * def makemenu(r) amenu = Menu(r) amenu.add_command(....., command=update_label) def update_label(): how to access mesg created in __main__ ? if __name__ == '__main__': root = Tk() mesg = Label(root, text='foo\nbar\nfoo') mesg.pack(expand=YES, fill=BOTH) root.mainloop() What I need to do is simple: when Menu (amenu) is clicked, it should execute update_label function that is expected to update the text of Label mesg in MAIN, with a syntax like: mesg.config(text='new text') What I don't know is the path of accessing this object mesg. I tried root.mesg, no good. I am confused here: since mesg is created on root as its master, why root.mesg is not its path? Can somebody help me out? Thanks a lot!
