Hi,
Its always better if you provide code which can be run. Reduce out all irrelevant code. (often this process shows you the problem in your code). If you have an askyesno dialogue open, that hogs the keyboard, so you cannot type to another window while it is open. Mick >>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>I have attached a stripped down version of the code. [I do realize that the askyesno takes priority.] The code is intended to bring in an image and place it on a canvas, and allow the user to mark locations on the image with their mouse. You will need a small jpg or other to run the code when requested by askfilename. The entry field is to allow for extraneous comment. I am having trouble with this entry field. I cannot 1) enter content into the entry field without first trying to quit and then cancelling - I cannot expect the user to do this because it is not intuitive. I should be able to enter the entry field immediately if I want to. 2) I cannot seem to get the radio button to default to something I want.. instead it has all buttons marked when the gui comes up.
