Clearing listboxes - klatlap - Feb-01-2022
I currently use this function to clear multiple listboxes, but i feel is not a good way to do it and am sure can be done with a for loop but can't work it out.
def delete_result(): # used in refreshing the data
runner1.delete(0, tk.END)
fw1.delete(0, tk.END)
fp1.delete(0, tk.END)
vw1.delete(0, tk.END)I will be adding many more listboxes so need a better option.

Not tested but, might could put them in a list. Something like
my_listboxes = ['runner1', 'fw1', 'fp1', 'vw1']
for listbox in my_listboxes:
listbox.delete(0, tk.END)

You can use winfo_children() if you want to clear all the list boxes. This does entry widgets too.
for child in frame.winfo_children():
if isinstance(child, (tk.Entry, tk.Listbox):
child.delete(0, tk.END)
