thank in advance.

you can hide buttons calling each one's grid_forget() method.

to make easier might want create self.buttons list or dictionary contains them all.

alternatively there's grid_slaves() method might able use on application instance give list of widgest manages (or ones in specified row or column). buttons should in 1 of these lists. i've never used it, don't know how easy identify them in list returned however.
