Hi,

Im using Tix on widows XP and I've tried many ways to suppress the root
window. But so far I'm unable to do it.
Please suggest how can I suppress the root window.

My code is as follows:

import Tix
myRoot = Tix.Tk()

myRoot.withdraw()
myRoot.deiconify()

myRoot.title("Test Automation")
#Create GUI Object and pass the logger object myAppGUIObject =
myAppGUI(myRoot, logger) #My AppGUI class creates the GUI which
heavily uses the Tkinter widgets and only TixComboBox

myRoot.mainloop()
Please suggest if there is anything I'm missing.
Thanks and regards,
Rajat

The root window is the main window, not the DOS box. I think in windows,
you should use pythonw.exe or something to open the python script so not
to open a dos box.

The root window is the main window, not the DOS box. I think in windows,

to open a dos box.

And you can accomplish this as a "clicky" by renaming your program from
"someprog.py" to "someprog.pyw".
