Not that I'm aware of... You could try maybe something like this (untested): def setState(widget, state=DISABLED): try: widget.config(state=state) except TclError: # not sure what exception will be raised pass for child in widget.children: setState(child, state=state) > Another Tkinter question: In a listbox, how do I intially set a > "selected" item? What I want to do here is have the 1st item in a > listbox selected (ie highlighted) when the appln is run. Have a look at Fredrik Lundh's Introduction to Tkinter. You can use .selection_clear() to clear the selection and .selection_set(index) to select an item. So, .selection_set(0) will select the first item (just make sure the listbox isn't empty). -- John. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
