I was right - a rookie mistake. Sorry to take up your time...

HI Bogzab,def wait_a_bit(): topwin.iconify print "Pressed No"change the second line for: topwin.iconify() You need to end a method call with () to indicate it is an invocation. Otherwise, the statement just returns a pointer to the method.

If I create a button with these lines of code : topwin = Tk() ... frame = Frame(topwin) ... butt2 = Button(frame, text="Not yet", command=topwin.iconfiy) When the program runs, the button acts as expected and the window is iconified. If however the line which creates the button is : butt2 = Button(frame, text="Not yet", command=wait_a_bit) where wait_a_bit is a function I define as follows : def wait_a_bit(): topwin.iconify print "Pressed No" then the print statement in this function works, but the topwin.iconify statement does not. I have tried declaring topwin to be global but this made no difference. Can anybody point me to where my error lies in the second approach ? I want to do it as a function because there are other bits of code as well as the iconify that I need to incorporate. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/How-to-make-Button-Command-work-as-a-called-function---tp26157859p26157859.html Sent from the Python - tkinter-discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Tkinter-discuss mailing list Tkinter-discuss@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tkinter-discuss
