I think you want to use focus_get and > focus_set like so:- Actually a "window" in tk is a widget. A "whole window" is called a "toplevel" in tk. I find it disconcerting, but at least once I got the hang of that I found the tk documentation made a lot more sense. Also focusNext always stays within the current toplevel (according to the manual). But it looks like it only gives you the name of the next widget (window). So I think the solution to the original poster's question is: currWdg.tk_focusNext().focus_set() -- Russell _______________________________________________ Tkinter-discuss mailing list Tkinter-discuss@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tkinter-discuss
