Bind Multiple Commands to Tkinter Button

Multiple commands could be executed after the button is clicked.

The Tkinter button has only one command property so that multiple commands or functions should be wrapped to one function that is bound to this command.

We could use lambda to combine multiple commands as,

command=lambda:[funcA(), funcB(), funcC()]
