Tk message box without tk main window?

arthurpa.. #1 / 5	Tk message box without tk main window? Hello, I'd like to show a message box from tcl code, but when tk_messageBox is executed, a second window named "tk" appears, and it dissappears only after the interpretor is deleted. It is possible to have only the message box on the screen? Thanks a lot, Arthur Harabula

The good thing about this is that the application does not even appear in the taskbar when the toplevel window is withdrawn. Very nice for a background application which only every now and then pops up a tk_messageBox. This kind of app can only be terminated using the task manager in Windows or using kill in Unix/Linux/BSD. Most user won't even notice that a Tcl/Tk application is running.

But speaking of termination, could you not have the message box terminate the application, to obviate the need for that elaborate kill process? Rufus

Or you could look into setting something up similar to Unix Tk's send command, and sending a terminate command to the application from a second command, tkcon, etc. -- <URL: http://wiki.tcl.tk/> MP3 ID tag repair < http://www.fixtunes.com/?C=17038 > Even if explicitly stated to the contrary, nothing in this posting should be construed as representing my employer's opinions.
