destroy(n) — Tk Built-In Commands 💅

okay so this is a Tk Built-In Commands page, and it's literally about deleting windows. bestie, it's the cleanup arc and it ate — no cap 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

destroy — Destroy one or more windows

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

destroy ?window window ...?

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so destroy deletes the windows you give it as the window arguments, plus all of their descendants — the whole window family tree, no survivors, periodt 😭.

If the window . is deleted, then all windows will be destroyed and the application will (normally) exit. that's iconic for cleanup and also your app is leaving the chat 💀.

The windows are destroyed in order. If an error occurs while destroying a window, the command aborts right there and does not destroy the remaining windows. And if a window does not exist? No error is returned — it's lowkey fine 🫶.

🎀 EXAMPLE 🎀

Destroy all checkbuttons that are direct children of the given widget:

proc killCheckbuttonChildren {parent} {
   foreach w [winfo children $parent] {
      if {[winfo class $w] eq "Checkbutton"} {
         destroy $w
      }
   }
}
