I have created a Fontbox class which I am inheriting to create a fontbox in my main file. When I try to pass self.text.get() to my main file but I am getting errors since window is already destroyed and data is gone. I have tried to return/save the input but data is lost once window is closed. I can't find a menthod similar to textvariable in Entry label to save the data even after window is closed. I also tried the method of calling self.window.quit() after input.get(). The method works for one time but closes both the windows if add button is clicked twice. It also doesn't preserve the font as well. I have included the relevant code.
Tkinter, use .get() for an entry widget initialized in a class
Get an input from tkinter and then close the window
