I want to build a Tkinter app in python 3.5. with a StartPage
and a another window PageTwo
that includes a table with a scolldownbar
. I have tried to apply a framework from an online tutorial and the listbox example from another website.
My problem is: when I run the program both pages are loaded directly. How can I manage to let PageTwo
only open on click on Button in StartPage
, and then apply another button in PageTwo
that closed PageTwo
again and redirects to StartPage
?
Second question: Alternatively to the listbox
example I would like to use canvas
with scrollbar
on PageTwo
. But how and where do I have to introduce the canvas
? I get totally messed up with all the inheritances throughout the different classes.
If you would suggest a complete different setup, this would also be fine.
Many thanks for your help.
