confused on how to link files in my program.

[analog marsh]

os.system() runs system commands

[nimble orchid]

and ik its cus

yeeyyee

so im just confused on how to approach this

and diff ways

[analog marsh]

What do you want the code to do?

[nimble orchid]

so

i want to use the same window

[analog marsh]

You'd probably want to look into importing files as modules

[nimble orchid]

oh

would tht work

[analog marsh]

I'm not sure on that, unfortunately

[nimble orchid]

ye idk i this this is getting too complicated

[analog marsh]

You want the Events.py to replace the entire window?

[nimble orchid]

for a small program

LMFAO

yes

essentially wht i mean is

whe nbthe button is pressed

the program starts reading from events.py

[analog marsh]

What's in the Events.py file?

[nimble orchid]

which will just

nothing so far

i was gona add labels

frames

[analog marsh]

And what libraries are you using?

[nimble orchid]

tkinter

for gui

and os

messageboxes

btu they r all tkinter

i feel like im making it too complicated

for a simple program

but at the same time codign everything in one file is making it harder for me to find wht im looking for

its just too long

my poitn is like there r abt 7 buttons in main menu

so for events section, id rather use another file yk

i just dont want the program to treat it as a new window

i can screenshare too

since its lil complicated

[analog marsh]

Hmm, I unfortunately don't know tkinter that well to tell you how you'd approach that

[nimble orchid]

id say its mostly a

python problem tho

since its logical rather than the gui

ive only used tkinter for the appearance

[analog marsh]

But you can import classes and functions from separate files

Without running additional files

[nimble orchid]

im just confused

LMFAO

i dont think the gui matters its just

instead of using 1 file u break it down into other files

right

bro i mlost

[analog marsh]

What?

The gui does matter, cause I don't know how you'd replace an entire view in tkinter

And even less how to load all that from another file

[nimble orchid]

o

u hide frames and show frames

thts all

hiding stuff and showing wht u want

ik how to do tht

the problem is

linking tht to a diff file

i want to do all the hiding and showing stuff in the new file

idk if you have tried it, but basically you could solve this by creating functions for building your gui in separate files. So when you want to access the second file, you basically create some kind of function to clear out the current window and then use that builder function from the another file to place elements into your window. If you have variables accosiated with that separate file you could declare them in that separate file and then import them to your main file. This is what I would do if I were you, but again, this hypothesis is completely untested so I'm not 100% sure that it works.
