I'm starting to create a program but when it run an undesired result occurs.
CODE: [SELECT]import sys
from Tkinter import *
import ttk
import tkFileDialog

def vp_start_gui():
'''Starting point when module is the main routine.'''
global val, w, root
root = Tk()
root.title('GUI')
root.geometry('273x450+123+194')
w = GUI (root)
init()
root.mainloop()

w = None
def create_GUI (root):
'''Starting point when module is imported by another program.'''
global w, w_win
if w: # So we have only one INSTANCE of window.
return
w = Toplevel (root)
w.title('GUI')
w.geometry('273x450+123+194')
w_win = GUI (w)
init()
return w_win

def destroy_GUI ():
global w
w.destroy()
w = None
def files():
tkFileDialog.askopenfile(mode='r')



def init():
pass


class GUI:
def __init__(self, master=None):
# Set background of toplevel window to match
# current style
style = ttk.Style()
theme = style.theme_use()
default = style.lookup(theme, 'background')
master.configure(background=default)

self.Entry1 = Entry (master)
self.Entry1.place(relx=0.11,rely=0.09,relheight=0.06,relwidth=0.64)
self.Entry1.configure(background="white")

self.Button1 = Button (master)
self.Button1.place(relx=0.77,rely=0.09,height=27,width=51)
self.Button1.configure(pady="0")
self.Button1.configure(text='''...''')
self.Button1.configure(command=files())

For some reason when you run it the button's command is run and doesn't run when you click it.TheWaffle,

It can help a lot if you indicate what OS you have and which version pf Python. And how does TK fit in here?

Did you copy this code from a sample file?It's because you are CALLING the files command as a parameter. You need to pass the Function object itself. Leave off the parentheses, for example, rather than this:
Code: [Select]self.Button1.configure(command=files())

try this:

Code: [Select]self.Button1.configure(command=files)

SEE ABOVE POSTYou might want to look up some of the python documentation for 'global'.I looked into that and found my problem but I expanded on my project to create a gui for a python code freezer
