Disable / Enable Button in TKinter
The problem is in your switch
function.
def switch():
b1["state"] = DISABLED
When you click the button, switch
is being called each time. For a toggle behaviour, you need to tell it to switch back to the NORMAL
state.
def switch():
if b1["state"] == NORMAL:
b1["state"] = DISABLED
else:
b1["state"] = NORMAL
A Tkinter Button
has three states : active, normal, disabled
.
You set the state
option to disabled
to gray out the button and make it unresponsive. It has the value active
when the mouse is over it and the default is normal
.
Using this you can check for the state of the button and take the required action. Here is the working code.
from tkinter import *
fenster = Tk()
fenster.title("Window")
def switch():
if b1["state"] == "normal":
b1["state"] = "disabled"
b2["text"] = "enable"
else:
b1["state"] = "normal"
b2["text"] = "disable"
#--Buttons
b1 = Button(fenster, text="Button", height=5, width=7)
b1.grid(row=0, column=0)
b2 = Button(text="disable", command=switch)
b2.grid(row=0, column=1)
fenster.mainloop()
