Don't know if it's clear... but here is what I want to do.

I have created a GUI with the internal Poser interface (using XML). I need to pick a color, so I use in my code:

import tkColorChooser
((red, green, blue),color) = tkColorChooser.askcolor()

But when I do this, it also open a little window with the title "Tk()". This window cannot be closed... Is there a way to use the tkColorChooser without opening this window ?

After a little investigating, I think the only way to avoid the extra frame popping up is to start the Chooser dialog from a Tk app.

That said, the following example shows how the annoying Frame can be killed.

<pre style="background-color:rgb(0,0,0);">

Compare line in red to tkCommonDialog.py (rest of code is the same as Dialog.show from that file).

This is mutch simpler:

from Tkinter import *
from tkColorChooser import *

root = Tk()
root.iconify()

chooser = Chooser(root)
chooser.show()

The rootwindow is simply "iconified" and reapears if the icon in the taskbar is clicked.

Thanks a lot !

ADP... good idea too.... but I prefer to kill the Tk() window than iconify it.
