All common dialogs appear to ignore the optional parent = parameter It seems it is because your code invoke the winfo_root() before the grid manager finish is calculations. and this command return a Null decimal string.
According to Tk manual "https://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.4/TkCmd/winfo.htm#M52"; If you need the true width immediately after creating a widget, invoke update to force the geometry manager to arrange it, or use winfo reqwidth to get the window's requested width instead of its actual width. This code works perfectly self.update() self.geometry("+%d+%d" % (self.parent.winfo_rootx()+50, self.parent.winfo_rooty()+50 ) ) -- View this message in context: http://python.6.x6.nabble.com/Control-position-of-Tkinter-common-dialogs-tp1978712p5204895.html Sent from the Python - tkinter-discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Tkinter-discuss mailing list Tkinter-discuss@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tkinter-discuss
