I am trying to use OOP approach to create class that inherit from Parent class to top-level. I want to get the self.txtofName from Window1 to Window2 class. But it raises an "AttributeError: type object 'Window1' has no attribute 'txtofName'". Can anyone help me?

class Window1(object):
def __init__(self, master):
self.master = master
self.master.geometry = ('1600x750+0+0')
self.master.config(bg='powder blue')
self.master.title('ALVO HOTEL')

hi james I think that the problem is that that you’re wrong to let the Windows2 class inherit the Windows1 class. I've made some changes like
def new_window_pop(self):
#avoid declaring the class type here
#Window2(Toplevel(self.master))
#and pass self because you can thought to self as master...
Window2(self)
and in the windows2 notice that we declare geometry, config, title as self, here self is the new windows, and self.parent is window1
#declare class type directly...
class Window2(Toplevel):
def __init__(self, parent):
super().__init__()
#Windows2 recive a parent....
self.parent = parent
self.geometry = ('1350x750+0+0')
self.config(bg='powder blue')
self.title('User Information and Payment')
and above all
#here the reference is wrong
#name = Window1.txtofName.get()
#the right reference is self.parent....
name = self.parent.txtofName.get()
self.FirstName = StringVar()
#here, if you need to use the textvariable you must first assign it
self.FirstName.set(name)
here the full story, try it.
