What is the difference between 'askquestion' and 'askyesno' in tkinter?

What is the difference between the askquestion() and askyesno() functions of messagebox in Tkinter?

I found those two functions in this website: http://infohost.nmt.edu/tcc/help/pubs/tkinter/web/tkMessageBox.html

Solution

  • From the source:

    def askquestion(title=None, message=None, **options):
    "Ask a question"
    return _show(title, message, QUESTION, YESNO, **options)

def askyesno(title=None, message=None, **options):
    "Ask a question; return true if the answer is yes"
    s = _show(title, message, QUESTION, YESNO, **options)
    return s == YES

    Thus, the difference is that askquestion will return YES or NO, meanwhile askyesno will return a boolean.
