Many thanks! I was just about to implement the pointer from Roberto G. to https://effbot.org/zone/tkinter-busy.htm but apparently a call to the tk busy is far easier I am just doing on the toplevel window def busy(self): self.tk.call("tk","busy","hold",self) def notbusy(self): self.tk.call("tk","busy","forget",self) and works beautifully!
