The docs I've found are rather sketchy on almost everything, but I - perhaps wrongly - interpreted the text at http://books.google.com/books?id=JnR9hQA3SncC&lpg=PA445&ots=Jb1TEw-42A&dq=tkinter%20place_forget&pg=PA445#v=onepage&q=place_forget&f=false to mean that I would be able to do this. An alternative way of interpreting this (and other texts) is that I should be able to show it again by using the place command with the same parameters ... but that doesn't work either. > which implies that tk does not store the placement information > automatically.

I can see the label flashing when I press the button but it's not visible unless I press the button again. -- The Green Tea Leaf thegreenteal...@gmail.com thegreentealeaf.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
