Detailed Description

A common window (derived from the tkinter Toplevel class) which is directly managed by the windows manager.

You can hide or show it mantaining all the internal widgets states, or destroy and re-create it if you want all widgets to be reinitialized. You can choose three possible modes for it: normal, modal or persistent (see Window.__init__())

Common options (see Widgets properties)

borderwidth, relief, bcolor, cursor, hbcolor, hfcolor, takefocus

Less common options

class, menu, screen, use, colormap, container, highlightthickness, 
padx, pady, visual

see anzeljg reference for the class tkinter.Toplevel

The constructor.

Parameters

parent	you can indicate None or your Main

Member Function Documentation

def hide

(

self

Hides the window.

It will not be displayed, but its data remain managed and the internal widgets state do not change; use show() to newly display it. If the window was already hidden it does nothing.

Changes the mode of the window, making it normal, modal or persistent.

This will have effect on the next call of show().
