Hi,

I'm not 100% sure that I get the gist of your question, but I'm giving it a shot anyway. First thing I would check if I were you is to read the documentation for Tk::Toplevel. It has an option for "-container" which, if set true "means that this window will be used as a container in which some other application will be embedded". I have not used it myself, but this seems like it might get you pointed in the right direction.

The other way I could read this, and it probably isn't what you mean - that you want to fork your Tk process and have the children render as sub windows of the parent. I think you could do this as well, if you played with it. I would try forking after creating your main widget and see what happens when you create dependent windows. Just don't go back and try to modify the parent, since you'd be going after copy!

Good luck,
{NULE}
