Little question about Tkiner: window focus

[Bernard Lebel]

Hello,

I have this Tkinter window that when you click on a certain button,
another instance of Tk is created, and thus a new windows is spawned.
That second windows holds a few widgets to browse files and
directories.

Now, as soon as I start browsing files and directories, the first
window comes back in focus. I have to click the second window to put
the focus back there.

My question is: is there a way to force the focus of a given Tk
instance? I'm using the Toplevel widget to create those second
windows. I have looked into the "takefocus" option, but doesn't seem
to have any effect.

I'm using Python 2.4 on Windows XP Pro SP1.


Thanks
Bernard
