[Tkinter] Mouse click without use bind

[deanhystad]

Where is drag and drop mentioned?

If you want to force a 3 second continuous touch before doing some action, you'll need to at least bind to touch and release and use an after to call your eventual callback.

from tkinter import *
after_id = None
root = Tk()

def press_cb(event):
    global after_id
    after_id = root.after(3000, after_cb)

def release_cb(event):
    global after_id
    if after_id is not None:
        root.after_cancel(after_id)
        after_id = None

def after_cb():
    """Do whatever"""
    print('Leg go of me!!')

root.bind('<ButtonPress-1>', press_cb)
root.bind('<ButtonRelease-1>', release_cb)

Or you could combine a few things.

from tkinter import *

root = Tk()

def press_cb(event=None):
    global lp_id
    if event is None:
        print('Let go my Eggo!')
        lp_id = None
    elif event.type == EventType.ButtonPress:
        lp_id = root.after(3000, press_cb)
    elif lp_id:
        root.after_cancel(lp_id)
        lp_id = None

root.bind('<ButtonPress-1>', press_cb)
root.bind('<ButtonRelease-1>', press_cb)

It would be useful to know what you are trying to do, what you have tried to do, and why you are unhappy with what you've done. At least I am confused about what you are asking.
