but some ugly empty Window appears with the
Input-Window behind and all together behind my
Console showing my script. So all have to brought
to the top first by the user - very unconfortable

Betreff: Re: askstring Window to the top under
Windows
By default
tk will open a root window.
so you will have to create
something to put into the
root window.
I suggest a button to open the tkSimpleDialog
box.

go to;

http://www.pythonware.com/library/tkinter/int
roduction/

I've allready had a short look trough this to
find an idea how to change this behavior (which
should be done by the askstring makers) but
haven't up to now. I think what I do is what
askstring was made for keeping me away from tk
internals only wanting a little string input.

Because I have embedded python In my C-App I
make my own window now In C and extend python
by it so having more control about things
happen.

Check out how to use Entry Wiget
for data entry.

====

from Tkinter import *

root = Tk() ## this is the default window
vlab = Label(root, width = 20,
text = 'Enter data here')
vlab.grid( row=0, column =0)

ventry= Entry(root, width = 30)
ventry.grid(row = 0, column = 1)
mainloop()

Guys/Gals, Does anyone know why a call to tkSimpleDialog.askstring would result in a grab fail error. The call is from a toplevel window. The error happens about two thirds of the time! It doesn't happen at all in other apps. Is it a build issue? Redhat 9.0 Python 2.3.3 Thanks,

In some old Javascript we have, we try to determine whether the client is IE or Netscape (assume for the purposes of this question that the question can be resolved satisfactorily) and tailor the script to it: var myOpen=open(url, 'subWin', 'width=600, height=400,*A*resizable=1,scrollbars=1' ); if ( myOpen && !myOpen.closed ) { myOpen.focus(); } *B*

I have 30 - 40 type of different window. For each type I need about 20 instances of the window. When I try to create them, I get "Error creating window handle" My guess is there is a maximum number of window handle, because if I reduce to about 2 instances of each window, it can run. But not 20 instances of each window. Does anyone know what the problem is? is it really because it exceeds the maximum number of window handle?

If I manage to call the following bit of javascript in IE and MZ w = window.open("", "s", 'status=no,resizable=no,width=450,height=450'); I get a window that is not resizable and without a statusbar. Yet FF gives me both a statusbar and the window is resizable! Does this mean that FF does not support these "features" or is there a different way to code them for FF?

I want to add a short-cut to a windows app similar to launching from a windows run line a New window, to prevent changing an existing browser window from moving off a current logged in session to another web application. And, I'd like it to be a chromeless window, sans toobars and sized similar to a popup. TIA

Hello, I am trying to open a window containing an image and I would like the image to be flush against the window -- i.e. have no padding or border. Can I make this happen with a single call to a window.open function? I would prefer not to create a separate HTML page. So far all I have is the basic var cwin = window.open('images/KJV-THANKS.gif', 'Thanks', 'width=243,height=420,'); cwin.focus();
