Two windows open, but in window number 2 I set some default text into 5 fields and they don't appear. If, however, I change "win2" to "win" in line 100 (the definition of "f2" frame), all the 5 default numbers appear in their respective widgets.


Any idea why this happens?


Thanks,


Amit.

Hi Amit,

There should be only one instance of Tk() in your Tkinter Application (if I remember correctly).

So if you want to create additional windows use Toplevel() instead of Tk(). Toplevel takes optional parent window argument like Toplevel(win)

so line 96 should look like

win2=Toplevel()

You remember correctly. This is indeed the solution.

you must keep the mainloop running, so that Tk(inter) gets around to 
process the events.

can you perhaps provide some more details on how you're doing the 
redirecting and the embedding?

DISABLE'ed Entry fields

If you create an Entry field with bg="white and fg="black" and then  
disable it the fg color goes to lightgrey and the fg to grey (with my  
specific color setup on a Solaris box).  Is there a way to stop that  
and keep either the background white or the foreground black?  Either  
one would be fine, but as it is it's kind of hard to read.

Thanks!

Re: DISABLE'ed Entry fields

Doh.  Grayson didn't list disabled- background and foreground where I  
was looking (under Entry()).

iirc, the disabled* options are relatively recent additions to Tk (for a 
suitable definition of recent, of course).

So instead of system asking me in terminal i want to enter the
password through the entry field.

not sure what you mean by "system" here, but to use the Entry widget to 
enter a password, you can set the "show" option:

     widget = Entry(parent, show="*", width=15)

This sounds as if Rajeev is trying to place a wrapper around 'sudo'.   
If so, you'll need to get the username and password and the pass them  
through to the sudo'd command like this (assumes the user is in the / 
etc/sudoers file and that thePassword contains their password):

echo thePassword | sudo -S theCommand

If I've mis-guessed here, please explain what you're trying to  
achieve further.
