TK - make frame in focus

[MoshiachNow]

HI,

I need to make the folowing frame in focus (ot top of all windows) and the cursor to be inside the password entry.

$loginwin->Label(-text => 'Enter your password to continue:')->pack(-side=>'top');
my $passEntry = $loginwin->Entry (-show=>'*',-width =>10,-background=>'white',
-textvariable =>\$password)->pack(-side=>'left',-pady=>3);
my $submitBttn = $loginwin->Button (-text => 'Log In',
-command =>sub{&confirm})->pack(-side=>'right',-pady=>3);
$loginwin->bind('<Return>'=>sub{&confirm});

Appreciate any recommendations.
Thanks

Use focusForce to put focus into the text box. Either call $passEntry->focusForce or put it at the end of pack if you wanna be compact with it.

$passEntry->focusForce;

# --or--

my $passEntry = $loginwin->Entry (-show=>'*',-width =>10,-background=>'white',
                -textvariable =>\$password)->pack(-side=>'left',-pady=>3)[COLOR=blue]->focusForce[/color];

As for having the window stay on top of other windows... the best you can do is have it be on top of your other Tk windows. I've never yet found a way to make it "always on top" for every window you have open.

But, I'm assuming the code you're using is the one we helped you with before, and your MainWindow is invisible until the right password has been entered. So in this case, there's not much you can do.

If your MainWindow was visible, you could create the password box as a DialogBox, which would make it stay on top of your MainWindow, but not stay on top of other application windows.
