[Tkinter-discuss] Need help on gui focus l

[BlackKnight]

Hi folks,

I am using Tkinter to do a simple GUI for my program.

It contains A MainGui and A ChildGui:
A button on the MainGUI will popout the childgui.
On the childgui there is a browse button which popout a dialog to allow
user to browser and choose a file.

I have no problem at doing them.

The problem is after the uesr choose a file the focus will return to the
MainGui intead of the childgui. The child gui just go hide behind the Main.

I've tried focus_set, focus_force but none of them seem work.

I did some research but found nothing working. It's not a big problem,
but is really really annoying.
(Actually I notice the examples from some python book I am reading has
the exact same problem. The author even tried to spawn the child gui
away from the main one, so when the focus return from the browse dialog
, the maingui won't block the child one~~ Is that how tkinter should work?)

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance~~
