class based on Tk() . example

[shanenin]

I have been trying to make a class based on Tk(). My code is such a mess, I would be embaressed to show you what I came up with. Here is what I am trying to do

class Window(Tk):
    fill in the code
    here
win = Window()
win.mainloop()

I can do this with out using classes, but as a single object I am having trouble
I would like the window to be a certain dimension, and have a single button in it. I would greatly appreciate an example.

Hi Shanenin,

Try this:

from Tkinter import *
# -- The application class
class TkBasic:
     # -- Initializes new instances of TkBasic
     def __init__(self, root):
          # Change the window geometry
          root.geometry("300x200+30+30")
          # Add the window Frame to which all widgets will be bound
          self.mainframe = Frame(root)
          self.mainframe.pack()
          # Add a Button widget (when clicked, it closes the app)
          self.button = Button(self.mainframe, text="Close",
                               command=self.close)
          self.button.pack()
     # -- Closes the application
     def close(self):
          self.mainframe.quit()
# -- The following code executes upon command-line invocation
root = Tk()
tkb = TkBasic(root)
root.mainloop()

Thank you. That will give me some ideas, you seem to do it alot differently then I was trying.

Thanks G-Do for your excellent sample code and the references. Good sample code seems to be missing with most common Python tutorials.
