So, then is it right to say that for a widget like button widget on
occurance of a 'event' the function which is bound to this event is
invoked, even if the button widget has its 'state' option set to
'disabled'. I was assuming that if the button widget has state =
'disabled' then even on a button event the binding function wont be
invoked.
I will take a look at the alternative code you suggested above too.
