Tkinter move between frame on button click

Question

I have a GUI in tkinter, and I want to understand how to switch from a frame to another. I mean, if I click a button on my GUI I want to switch to another frame that show the result returned from action related to that button, and in the same frame I want a button "return home" to switch new to the home frame. I attach the code.

if __name__ == '__main__':
    [...]
    client = Client(url)
    w = Fullscreen_Window()    

    bottone_visualizza_ricetta_attuale = tk.Button(text="Visualizza ricetta attuale", command= lambda: visualizza_ricetta_attuale(client), activebackground="YELLOW",height=5,bd=4,width=30)
    bottone_visualizza_ricetta_attuale.grid(row=0, column=1, sticky="W")

    bottone_visualizza_lista_ricette = tk.Button(text="Visualizza lista ricette", command= lambda: visualizza_lista_ricette(client), activebackground="YELLOW",height=5,bd=4,width=30)
    bottone_visualizza_lista_ricette.grid(row=1, column=1, sticky="W")

    bottone_avvio_selezione = tk.Button(text="Avvia la selezione", command= lambda: avvio_selezione(client), activebackground="YELLOW",height=5,bd=4,width=30)
    bottone_avvio_selezione.grid(row=2, column=1, sticky="W")

    bottone_stop_selezione = tk.Button(text="Termina la selezione", command= lambda: stop_selezione(client), activebackground="YELLOW",height=5,bd=4,width=30)
    bottone_stop_selezione.grid(row=3, column=1, sticky="W")


    bottone_cambia_velocita = tk.Button(text="Cambia velocità sezione o vibratore", activebackground="YELLOW",height=5,bd=4,width=30)# command=#TODO)
    bottone_cambia_velocita.grid(row=4, column=1, sticky="W")

    
    bottone_arresta_vibratori_sezione = tk.Button(text="Arresta i vibratori di una sezione", activebackground="YELLOW",height=5,bd=4,width=30)# command=#TODO)
    bottone_cambia_velocita.grid(row=5, column=1, sticky="W")

    bottone_avvio_svuota_residuo = tk.Button(text="Avvia svuotamento residuo", command= lambda:svuota_residuo(client), activebackground="YELLOW",height=5,bd=4,width=30)
    bottone_avvio_svuota_residuo.grid(row=6, column=1, sticky="W")

    bottone_stop_svuota_residuo = tk.Button(text="Termina svuotamento residuo", command= lambda:fine_svuotamento_residuo(client), activebackground="YELLOW",height=5,bd=4,width=30)
    bottone_stop_svuota_residuo.grid(row=7, column=1, sticky="W")

    bottone_seleziona_ricetta = tk.Button(text="Seleziona una ricetta", activebackground="YELLOW",height=5,bd=4,width=30)# command=#TODO)
    bottone_seleziona_ricetta.grid(row=8, column=1, sticky="W")
    
    w.tk.mainloop()

def visualizza_ricetta_attuale(client):
    return "eseguita la funzione visualizza ricetta attuale"

You need to delete (or hide) a frame and show another. Example:

import tkinter as tk
root = tk.Tk()

def switchframe():
   frame1.pack_forget()
   frame2.pack(fill=tk.BOTH,expand=True)

frame1 = tk.Frame(root)
frame1.pack(fill=tk.BOTH,expand=True)
btn1 = tk.Button(frame1, text="cliccami", command=switchframe)
frame2 = tk.Frame(root)
btn2 = tk.Button(frame2, text="sono il secondo bottone")

obviously you pass your parameters to the function and in the function you create all your widgets.

This will not even run....its full of syntax errors. Missing closing quotes in `btn2 = tk.Button(frame2, text="sono il secondo bottone")` and `BOTH` needs to be `tk.BOTH` – Rory Aug 23 '22 at 15:39
thanks, now i adjust errors in my answer – JacopoBiondi Aug 26 '22 at 13:21
