Python Graphics Module Close Button

How do I make it so that when it's closed by the windows close button by the user, the program doesn't crash?

try root.destroy

You may have to read sources to figure out what "root" is.

Upon looking at the code again, I honestly can't figure out what the root is, is there perhaps a way in which to disable the default Windows close button?

what is the graphics module?

if you mean this thing then it's either

graphics._root . destroy()

or

_root.destroy()

depending on how you imported it.

I suppose you'll also need to catch the event from the window manager.

I've tried stuff like

Code:

if RegisterScreen.isClose():
        _root.destroy()

But it doesn't work. I've really no Idea how to capture the event of the user clicking the X button.

I don't think that would work with the current program I've written, even though TKinter is imported, it is using the graphics method of displaying a window, and TKinter functions aren't applicable.
