Increase Numbers forever and need reset?

[deanhystad]

Why do you care about the value of some event handle? If I was writing something like "after" I would make sure to create a unique handle for each event. In the code below I create and delete a Frame each time the mouse button is pressed/released. Each time I get a different ID for the frame. Would you want to reset the frame ID?s

from tkinter import *
 
mouse_repeat = None
window = None
 
root = Tk() 
 
def mouse_event(event):
    global window
    if event.type == EventType.ButtonPress:
        window = Frame(root)
        print('start', window)
    elif window is not None:
        print('cancel', window)
        del window
        window = None

 
root.bind("<Button-1>", mouse_event)
root.bind("<ButtonRelease-1>", mouse_event)
root.mainloop()
