Is widget mapped? = ", bool(widget.winfo_exists())) # Button widgets b1 = Button(root, text = "Btn 1") b1.pack() # This is used to make widget invisible b2 = Button(root, text = "Btn 2", command = lambda : forget(b1)) b2.pack() # This will retrieve widget b3 = Button(root, text = "Btn 3", command = lambda : retrieve(b1)) b3.pack() # infinite loop, interrupted by keyboard or mouse mainloop() |
