Control position of Tkinter common dialogs?
by python＠bdurham.com Dec. 9, 2016

Python 2.7 under Windows: How can we control the position of Tkinter's common dialogs? Here's what we've discovered: * Certain common dialogs always open up relative to their parent window * Certain common dialogs always open up centered on the user's desktop * All common dialogs appear to ignore the optional parent= parameter Questions: * How can we force a dialog to open up relative to its parent window? * How can we force a dialog to open up centered on the user's desktop? Background: import tkColorChooser as colorchooser import tkFileDialog as filedialog import tkMessageBox as messagebox # always open up relative to parent windows fileOpen = filedialog.askopenfilename() fileOpens = filedialog.askopenfilenames() fileSaveAs = filedialog.asksaveasfilename() color = colorchooser.askcolor() # always open up centered on desktop folderOpen = filedialog.askdirectory() messagebox.askquestion() Malcolm

Hello list, What would be the best way to add some text over the desktop background image, with no window and no frame? Font, size and colors needs to be controlled, some of the text will come from updated variables. I managed to get the text to display, but always boxed In a frame... TIA & Regards, D.
