How can I reprogram the 'Ok' button in the Tkinter Messagebox module

I'm working on my very first python GUI, and I want to close all the previous windows from the code after clicking on the 'OK' button of the Message 

messagebox.showinfo('Access Granted', 'Your data has been retrieved.')
Solution

  • The tkinter dialogs return a string representing what the user clicked on, so it's just a matter of saving that value and checking it afterwards. However, since showinfo only gives the user one option it's always going to return "ok", so there's no need to check the value. Just call your function after the dialog has been displayed:

    def some_function():
    messagebox.showinfo('Access Granted', 'Your data has been retrieved.')
    root.destroy()
...
button = tk.Button(root, text="Quit", command=some_function)
