Here is an example code taken from: http://www.pythonware.com/library/tkinter/introduction/events-and-bindings.htm (located at very end) Example 7-2. Capturing destroy events # File: protocol1.py from Tkinter import * import tkMessageBox def callback(): if tkMessageBox.askokcancel("Quit", "Do you really wish to quit?"): root.destroy() root = Tk() root.protocol("WM_DELETE_WINDOW", callback) root.mainloop() Hope this helps.
