How can I destroy widget with mouse left click from outside of the specific entry in tkinter python-CodePudding

I made a entry for rename the file. When I click the file, the entry widget is open and I want I can destroy the widget when I click outside the entry widget, and if I click inside the widget, it should be not destroyed. The code is like below.

self.root.bind("<Button-1>", self.rename_cancel)

def rename_cancel(self, event):
    if self.rename_act_mpf == 1:
        self.rename_entry_mpf.destroy()
        self.rename_act_mpf = 0
    if self.rename_act_db == 1:
        self.rename_entry_db.destroy()
        self.rename_act_db = 0

in this code, when I click somewhere, the entry widget is destroyed even I click the inside of the widget. How can I make the exception for this?

CodePudding user response：

event.widget will tell you which widget was clicked on. You can compare that to your entry widget, and call destroy if the click wasn't on the entry widget.
