Hi all,

I have a scipt I am writing that will use tkinter for a user gui. That bits working .

I want to do some stuff BEFORE initiating the gui and I have worked out that it can be done  and that bit is working. It consists of getting a folder path using the dialog and a project name and verifying that the folders have been created and the project name is valid .

The problem I have is getting a variable into the class code.

I have used a global definition for the variable name and I get an error message saying the variable has not been defined in the statement that uses it within the class code .

        self.mystatus = Label(self, relief = GROOVE)
        self.mystatus.config(text = outpath)

Any ideas ?

If I put the dialog inside thhe class it doesnt work :( 
probably to do with setting the parent window
