how to keep a Tkinter window above all other OS windows (i.e.
including those ones from other programs)?
Thank you in advance,

If you can get the handle of the window from the Tk framework, use the
os call in 'ctypes'. Windows' call is ShowWindow( handle,
HWND_TOPMOST ) I think.

This sort of thing should be configurable in many X11-based window managers.

Hi!
I am creating a dialog-box within my application, using tkinter. The
problem is the following: After the dialogbox is started, the main
application window comes again to top and the dialogbox is covered by
the window of the main application and must be "fetched" again via the
taskbar to continue. Is there a way to "force" the dialogbox on top of
all other windows? (I'm using MSWindows and Python22)
The source of my dialogbox-class...

Hi,
I'm running Python2.3.3c1 on Mandrake 9.1
The following code is designed to bring up a window with a button labeled
"popup". Clicking on the popup buttons triggers a secondary window with a
button labeled "ok". The second window is supposed to be modal - it should
not be possible to reset the focus back to the first window or close the
first window without first closing the second. The program works just fine

Greetings to all experts.
I'm running Python 2.3/Pythonwin 1.63 on Windows 98. I would like to
create a window with Tkinter, that is always on top of the screen.
In Tkinter.py, Line 1375 f., I'm reading:
"On Windows, ... -topmost gets or sets whether this is a topmost window
(displays above all other windows)."
Therefore my simple code is:

Hi there,
I've got a tree control in Tkinter (using the ESRF Tree module) but I
can't get it to layout how I want it.
I'd like to have it so that it streches north/south (anchored to the top
and bottom), is of a fixed width and is anchored to the left hand side.
Here's my code (its derived from one of the examples from the ESRF web
site):

Hi,
I'm in the process of writing some code and noticed a strange problem
while doing so. I'm working with PythonWin 210 built for Python 2.5. I
noticed the problem for the last py file processed by this script,
where the concerned tmp file is only actually written to when
PythonWin is closed. In other words, after I run this script, one of
the generated tmp files has a size of 0kB. I then close PythonWin and
it is then written to.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
