是否可以获取tkinter消息框图标图像文件？

Question

I'm developing a python/tkinter application, and finding the default messagebox lacked flexibility, I programmed my own using Toplevel . I was rather successful in recreating the messabox appearance, however, I could not find a way to obtain the icons displayed in normal tkinter messagebox (ie : error, warning, info icons...)

I did some research didn't find much, except that those image were stored in a win32 DLL file... Also tried looking into the tkinter messagebox module code, but its only an interface transferring from python to TCL code I can't find (and probably wouldn't be able to read anyway...)

Is there anyway to get files or rough equivalents ( PhotoImage objects) for these icons using either python or TCL executed though Tk().tk.call() ? Or any other (thourghly explained then) way to achieve this?

Right now the best solution I can think of is to use screencapture, and save the icons to files, but I'd rather be able to access the original ones...

Thanks in advance !

Answer 1

The rough equivalents are available as (tk global variables):

::tk::icons::warning
::tk::icons::error
::tk::icons::information
::tk::icons::question

Like anything that is not documented, it is subject to change in the future, but these should be stable.
