so i am trying to create multiple frames with a button but with delays between them, so i press the button --> create frame1 --> wait 5 second --> create frame2 and so on. But the problem is that when i press the button it takes 5 seconds and displays the frame's at the same time. hopefully someone has any idea how to solve this.

so i added the whole code this time, and tried to replace r1l2t.grid() with r1l2t.after(1000, r1l2t.grid()) but with no change....

Once you have launched Tkinter's mainloop, the GUI waits for events (keystrokes, mouse clicks, ...) and reacts immediately when one occurs (visual effects on the clicked button, ...). However, when you use time.sleep(5), you freeze this mainloop, so the GUI does not react when events occur but process them all after the end of the 5 seconds. In addition, the GUI does not update before the freezing so your first frame is displayed only at the end. You can force the GUI to update with the update_idletasks() method.

Tkinter provides a method to execute commands with a delay without freezing the mainloop: app.after(delay , function, *args) will execute function(*args) after the given delay (in ms). The mistake you made is that you called r1l2t.after(1000, r1l2t.grid()) instead of r1l2t.after(1000, r1l2t.grid). Below is a small example creating two labels on a button press with a 5s delay between each:

import tkinter as tk



app = tk.Tk()



def display():

    l1 = tk.Label(app, text='First label')

    l2 = tk.Label(app, text='Second label')

    l1.grid()

    app.after(5000, l2.grid)



tk.Button(app, text='Display', command=display).grid()





app.mainloop()
