Tkinter - Force toplevel window to stay on top of Tk() window

2007-06-08 Thread rahulnag22 
Hi,
I have a Tk() window base_win = Tk() with multiple frames on it
having a combination of widgets. If I click on say a button widget
which launches a new top level window new_win = TopLevel(), I was
looking for a way for this new_win to always stay on top of
base_win till I close new_win, as a result also not allowing any
selections to be made in the base_win .
Thanks
Rahul

You need to research showing modal dialogs. This link looks promising:

This one from Lundh's site has better explanations on dialog's in
general:
