Hi all,
how to keep a Tkinter window above all other OS windows (i.e.
including those ones from other programs)?

Thank you in advance,
Dmitrey

I have put [Tkinter] into topic of my message but somehow it has been
removed.

If you can get the handle of the window from the Tk framework, use the
os call in 'ctypes'. Windows' call is ShowWindow( handle,
HWND_TOPMOST ) I think.

{I miss the Amiga --
where one had the option to push a window to the back /without/ losing
focus... made it useful for reading one window while touch-typing data
into the "hidden" window}

This sort of thing should be configurable in many X11-based window managers.

        Maybe... But I'm stuck with a MicroSloth world -- at least they
didn't decide 1 mouse button is all anyone would need <G>

There's some useful information at http://epydoc.sourceforge.net/stdlib/Tkinter.Wm-class.html.

The window stays on top.
