I am recreating the game Wordle for practice.
I am trying to find a function that allows me to destroy all widgets in my tkinter window.
root.destroy() isn't a solution because it just closes the whole window.
I want to use this function to, whenever we win the game, restart the whole program without having to manually do it.
Program:
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk
import tkinter as tk
from english_words import english_words_alpha_set
import time
guess = "bored"
guess = guess.upper()
word=""
a=0
def callback1(var, index, mode):
root.entry2.configure(state="normal")
root.entry2.focus()
root.entry1.configure(state="disabled")
root.hasfocus = "entry2"
def callback2(var, index, mode):
root.entry3.configure(state="normal")
root.entry3.focus()
root.entry2.configure(state="disabled")
root.hasfocus = "entry3"
def callback3(var, index, mode):
root.entry4.configure(state="normal")
root.entry4.focus()
root.entry3.configure(state="disabled")
root.hasfocus = "entry4"
def callback4(var, index, mode):
root.entry5.configure(state="normal")
root.entry5.focus()
root.entry4.configure(state="disabled")
root.hasfocus = "entry5"
def callback5(var, index, mode):
root.entry5.configure(state="disabled")
root.hasfocus = "none"
def newRow():
boxes = [root.box1, root.box2, root.box3, root.box4, root.box5]
word = root.name1.get() root.name2.get() root.name3.get() root.name4.get() root.name5.get()
word=word.upper()
root.greenBoxes=0
def checkBg():
if word[a] == guess[a]:
root.greenBoxes=root.greenBoxes 1
print("greenBoxes=", root.greenBoxes)
return '#538D4E'
elif word[a] in guess:
return '#B59F3B'
else:
return '#3A3A3C'
root.entry1.destroy()

a=0
while a < 5:
boxes[a].configure(text=word[a], bg=checkBg(), fg = "white")
a=a 1
if root.greenBoxes == 5: #if player won:
root.WinMsg = Label(root, height=2, width=28, bg='#2d2d2f', fg='white', text='You\'ve won! The word was \"' guess[0] guess[1:5].lower() "\"", font="Calibri 20")
root.WinMsg.place(x=65, y=100) #say that he won
#*destroy all widgets*

return

root.createBoxes()
root.createEntry()
else: #if player lost

CodePudding user response：
You can use winfo_children to get a list of all child widgets of the root window, and then you can iterate over the list to destroy each child.
for child in root.winfo_children():
child.destroy()
From that point on, you have a root window with nothing in it.
