I'm working on a GUI that will talk to a controller and instruct it to update the Firmware of modules connected via LAN cable to the same controller. I'm using python 3 and tkinter to write the code and GUI. The program uses Telnet and FTP protocol to talk to it. The engineer I'm doing this project for asked that I add a main page that would allow me to navigate to different pages using buttons. I'm having a hard time finding compatible sample codes that do this. Currently, my GUI only had one master page that includes all features. (See code below) Can anyone stir me in the right direction? Not sure how to approach this with the right syntax. Many thanks.
Side notes: This code does not include the Telnet or FTP scripts, just the GUI that activates them.
Main Script is at the very bottom.
"Class Window" is used to initialize and build the frame/window.
