Dialogue boxes pop up new windows for gathering information. If you want a more permanent second window, then the Toplevel() widget is like a frame, but is a separte window with window manager decorations, can be sparately iconfied etc. from Tkinter import * root = Tk() root.title('Root') rootlabel = Label(root, text = 'This is the root window', relief = RIDGE) rootlabel.pack(side = TOP, fill = BOTH, expand = YES) other = Toplevel() other.title('Second Window') otherlabel = Label(other, text = 'This is the other window', relief = RIDGE) otherlabel.pack(side = TOP, fill = BOTH, expand = YES) root.mainloop() -- Jim Segrave ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
