In fact, the same thing happens (window freezes) when a long computation generated by the tcltk window is stopped through the R console. library(tcltk) library(svMisc) win<-tktoplevel() n<-10000 ff<-function(){ for(i in 1:n){progress(i,n)} } button<-tkbutton(win,text="test",command=ff) tkpack(button) Francois Rousseu
