How to pass arguments to a Button command in Tkinter?

Question

Suppose I have the following Button made with Tkinter in Python:

import Tkinter as Tk
win = Tk.Toplevel()
frame = Tk.Frame(master=win).grid(row=         


        

Answer 1

Python's ability to provide default values for function arguments gives us a way out.

def fce(x=myX, y=myY):
    myFunction(x,y)
button = Tk.Button(mainWin, text='press', command=fce)

See: http://infohost.nmt.edu/tcc/help/pubs/tkinter/web/extra-args.html

For more buttons you can create a function which returns a function:

def fce(myX, myY):
    def wrapper(x=myX, y=myY):
        pass
        pass
        pass
        return x+y
    return wrapper

button1 = Tk.Button(mainWin, text='press 1', command=fce(1,2))
button2 = Tk.Button(mainWin, text='press 2', command=fce(3,4))
button3 = Tk.Button(mainWin, text='press 3', command=fce(9,8))
