How to communicate between the two connected GUIs


In the previous recipes, we found ways to connect a wxPython GUI with a tkinter GUI, invoking one from the other and vice versa.

While both GUIs were successfully running at the same time, they did not really communicate with each other as they were only launching one another.

In this recipe, we will explore ways to make the two GUIs talk to each other.

Getting ready

Reading one of the previous recipes might be a good preparation for this recipe.

In this recipe, we will use a slightly modified GUI code compared to the previous recipe, but most of the basic GUI-building code is the same.

How to do it...

In the previous recipes, one of our main challenges was how to combine two GUI technologies that were designed to be the one-and-only GUI toolkit for an application. We found various simple ways to combine them.

We will again launch the wxPython GUI from a tkinter GUI main event loop and start the wxPython GUI in its own thread that runs within the...
