Dear GKalman,
According to the documentation, lift and lower affect the
toplevel that contains the canvas, they do not change
stacking order of widgets within a toplevel.
Maybe the better alternative is to call
a place_forget() on the lower canvas and
then place it again, which should put it
above.
I have never used place() and am not
sure of its abilities to do what you want.
Another possibility is to use a Canvas
instead of your enclosing frame, and
then use creatr_window to place
your canvases within the enclosing canvas,
and use canvas methods: move, tag_raise
and tag_lower raise and lower your
canvases relative to each other.
Just a suggestion,
Mick
