ekeb2i$9i7$1@sea.gmane.org</a>><br>Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed<br><br>here's one way to do it:<br><br> root = Tk()<br><br> # populate UI<br><br> # run event loop until widget is properly displayed
<br> root.wait_visibility()<br><br> # start talking to CVS<br><br> root.mainloop()<br><br><br>I've tried this in the interpeter- outside of the actual program I am targeting- for the moment.<br>When I call Tk() a blank tk window appears.
<br>When I call wait_visibility() the call never returns.<br><br>However, since the call to Tk() pops up the window- my menu should be visible, and the program status bar as well.<br>So I'll try this in my target program as soon as I fix a few errors.
<br><br>BTW I'm stick using python 2.3.4 with whatever version of Tk goes with it- perhaps there are some behavioral differences.<br><br>thanks!<br>
