Running a command on Window minimization in Tkinter
You can bind to the <Unmap> event.
For example, run the following code and then minimize the main window. The tool window should disappear when the main window is minimized.
import Tkinter as tkclass App: def __init__(self): self.root = tk.Tk() tk.Label(self.root, text="main window").pack() self.t = tk.Toplevel() tk.Label(self.t, text="tool window").pack() self.root.bind("<Unmap>", self.OnUnmap) self.root.bind("<Map>", self.OnMap) self.root.mainloop() def OnMap(self, event): # show the tool window self.t.wm_deiconify() def OnUnmap(self, event): # withdraw the tool window self.t.wm_withdraw()if __name__ == "__main__": app=App()
