Do you need this toplevel window to not be iconified--where it shows up as a separate window? You can also do this:
def new_window(self, master): t = Toplevel() t.transient(master) etc... Svennglen, I put this in here because most likely you're next question may be, how in the world do I make a modal window? I believe it was my next question after I finally figured out how to kill a child window without wiping out the entire app ;-). Check out Frederik Lundh's tutorial: http://www.pythonware.com/library/tkinter/introduction/ You can now buy a PDF form of John Grayson's Python and Tkinter Programming from Manning Publications. I won't provide the link so that no one will think I'm spamming (:-). Grayson's book is essential reading if you are to write any serious apps with Tkinter.
