How to Hide, Recover and Delete Tkinter Widgets?

In Tkinter, you can manage the visibility and existence of widgets using the following methods:

  1. Hide a Widget: Use the pack_forget(), grid_forget(), or place_forget() method depending on which geometry manager (pack, grid, or place) you used to display the widget.

  2. Recover a Hidden Widget: To make a previously hidden widget visible again, you can simply call the geometry manager method (pack(), grid(), or place()) again.

  3. Delete a Widget: To completely destroy a widget and free up its resources, you can use the destroy() method.

Let's see some examples:

import tkinter as tk def hide_widget(): button1.pack_forget() def show_widget(): button1.pack() def delete_widget(): button2.destroy() root = tk.Tk() root.geometry("200x200") # Create a button that hides when clicked button1 = tk.Button(root, text="Click me to hide", command=hide_widget) button1.pack(pady=20) # Create a button to show the hidden button button_show = tk.Button(root, text="Click me to show button1", command=show_widget) button_show.pack(pady=20) # Create a button that deletes when clicked button2 = tk.Button(root, text="Click me to delete", command=delete_widget) button2.pack(pady=20) root.mainloop()

In this example:

  • button1 hides itself when clicked.
  • button_show will make button1 appear again.
  • button2 deletes itself from the window when clicked.

Keep in mind that when you destroy a widget using destroy(), you cannot recover it using the geometry manager. You'll need to create it again if needed.
