I'm attempting tkinter in python fo the first time but the Button command creates an error
from tkinter import *
RandomWindow = Tk()
Close = RandomWindow.destroy()
RandomButton = Button(RandomWindow, text = "Click to shuffle and select cards", command = Close)
RandomButton.pack()
It should create a window with a button but I just receive the error message
_tkinter.TclError: can't invoke "button" command: application has been destroyed
You already destroyed the window where you assign RandomWindow.destroy() to Close.
Here is what you probably meant:
def Close(): RandomWindow.destroy()
Use that instead of Close = RandomWindow.destroy()
Here:
Close = RandomWindow.destroy()
you are actually calling the window's destroy method, so when you hit the next line:
RandomButton = Button(RandomWindow, ...)
you are passing an already destroyed window to your button, hence the error.
You want:
Close = RandomWindow.destroy # no parens, just reference the method
RandomButton = Button(
RandomWindow,
text="Click to shuffle and select cards",
command=Close
)
or even more simply:
RandomButton = Button(
RandomWindow,
text="Click to shuffle and select cards",
# no parens, just reference the method
command=RandomWindow.destroy
)
