I have written the following Tkinter script:
When I run it, the first thing that happens is the File Dialog box opens without it being called.
I am expecting the file dialog box only to open when the "Open Document" button is pressed.
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import filedialog as fd
class Application(tk.Frame):
def __init__(self, master=None):
super().__init__(master)
self.master = master
self.pack()
self.do = PhotoImage(file="do.png") # Document Open
self.ea = PhotoImage(file="ea.png") # Exit
self.create_widgets()
def create_widgets(self):
self.opendoc = tk.Button(self, text="Open Document", image=self.do, command=self.openfd()).pack(side="left")
self.quit = tk.Button(self, text="Quit", image=self.ea, command=self.master.destroy)
self.quit.pack(side="left")
def openfd(self):
fd.askopenfilenames()
if __name__ == '__main__':
root = tk.Tk()
app = Application(master=root)
app.mainloop()I have tried removing the openfd function from the class, but the reult is the same.
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import filedialog as fd
class Application(tk.Frame):
def __init__(self, master=None):
super().__init__(master)
self.master = master
self.pack()
self.do = PhotoImage(file="do.png") # Document Open
self.ea = PhotoImage(file="ea.png") # Exit
self.create_widgets()
def create_widgets(self):
self.opendoc = tk.Button(self, text="Open Document", image=self.do, command=openfd()).pack(side="left")
self.quit = tk.Button(self, text="Quit", image=self.ea, command=self.master.destroy)
self.quit.pack(side="left")
def setdevicevars(self):
self.settingsDialog()
def openfd():
fd.askopenfilenames()
if __name__ == '__main__':
root = tk.Tk()
app = Application(master=root)
app.mainloop()It's not necessarily a problem, but I'd like to know why, not least to prevent unexpected behaviuor in my script.
