python - tKinter dialog button not responding -

i new tkinter. tried code , did not work. when click of buttons(yes/no), dialog not close , print statement not print. know in swing need events print statement. same in tkinter?

from tkinter import * import tkinter.messagebox  root = tk()  answer=tkinter.messagebox.askquestion('question','what name?') if answer=='yes': print('i king')  root.mainloop() 

how go correcting it?

the returned value 'yes' (all lowercase) , trying check against 'yes' , hence not print. try checking against 'yes' .

also, actual application root not close until click on x button, because defining tk() application , entering mainloop. if want close (and program end print statement) , not need root=tk() or root.mainloop() .

example -

import tkinter.messagebox  answer=tkinter.messagebox.askquestion('question','what name?') if answer=='yes':     print('i king') 

please note, print 'i king' console.

to answer question in comment -

is there way can hide dialog box called tk-- second 1 in background?

you have create application using tk() that, , can use root.withdraw() on it. example -

import tkinter.messagebox tkinter import tk  root = tk() root.withdraw() answer=tkinter.messagebox.askquestion('question','what name?') if answer=='yes':     print('i king')
