I'd like to have a function f such that, when f is invoked, a Tk window w is presented in which a number of variables can be modified, and f returns the values that are indicated by the relevant menus/checkbuttons/etc at the time w gets closed. I've tried various ways of doing this, without success. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Here are the necessary ritual incantations to create a modal dialog with Tkinter:
dlg = Toplevel() # ... build the window ... ## Set the focus on dialog window (needed on Windows) dlg.focus_set() ## Make sure events only go to our dialog dlg.grab_set() ## Make sure dialog stays on top of its parent window (if needed) dlg.transient(parentWdw) ## Display the window and wait for it to close dlg.wait_window(dlg)
The callbacks for your "OK", "Cancel" or whatever buttons you want to use should then call dlg.destroy(). This will terminate the wait_window call and continue the execution of the code after it.
