You're "firing the command" right there.

You probably want to do something like:

  pdb_btnSearch = Button(pdb_frmCommands,
                  [...]
                  command = lambda x=pdb_frmNewClient: self.HideNewClient(x)

or

  def cmdProc():
      return self.HideNewClient(pdb_frmNewClient)
  pdb_btnSearch = Button(pdb_frmCommands,
                  [...]
                  command = cmdProc
