making widgets invisible

[richard_chamberlain at my-deja.com]

Hi Thomas,

I'm sure there's a nicer way to do it (I'll ponder on it), but...

from Tkinter import *
root=Tk()
def hideMe():
    myButton.configure(text="",relief=FLAT)
myButton=Button(root,text="Hide Me!",command=hideMe)
myButton.pack()
root.mainloop()

You could pass the widget reference to the method so it would be
universal - bit of pain to reverse though!

Richard
