Mick, Perfect - that's just what I was looking for.
Malcolm <snipped> From: "Michael O'Donnell" <michael.odonn...@uam.es> Look at: w.winfo_ismapped() ...Note that if a widget IS packed, but the parent (or some ancestor) is not, this will return False. w.winfo_manager() -- will return "" if the widget is not packed/gridded etc., disregarding whether the parent is not packed. Otherwise returns info on how it is placed. </snipped> _______________________________________________ Tkinter-discuss mailing list Tkinter-discuss@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tkinter-discuss
