I'm not sure exactly what you are after... but this prevents multiple view button pushes, closes the subwindow, and resets the view button. The downside is needing subwin1 to be a global, but that is good anyways for memory reuse of the subwin1 object.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use warnings; use strict; use Tk; use Tk::FileSelect; my $mw = MainWindow->new; $mw->configure( -background => 'black', -foreground => 'white' ); $mw->geometry( "400x100" ); $mw->title( "Multiple Windows Test" ); my $button1; my $subwin1; $button1 = $mw->Button( -text => "view Results", -background => "cyan", -command => \&button1_sub )->pack( -side => "right" ); $mw->Button( -text => "Exit", -command => sub { exit } ) ->pack( -side => "bottom" ); sub button1_sub { $button1->configure(-state=>'disabled'); $subwin1 = $mw->Toplevel; $subwin1->geometry( "500x400" ); $subwin1->title( "Sub Window #1" ); my $fh; open( $fh, '+<', "./test.txt" ) or die $!; my @contents = <$fh>; # print "@contents\n"; close( $fh ); my $sublable = $subwin1->Scrolled( 'Text', -scrollbars => 'osoe', )- +>pack; $sublable->insert( 'end', @contents ); my $subwin_button = $subwin1->Button( -text => "Close window", -command => [$subwin1 => 'destroy'], )->pack( -side => "bottom" ); #=================Creating save buttion on subwindow =========== my $save_button = $subwin1->Button(-text=>'save', -command =>\&get_save, -background =>'cyan')->pack(-side=>'right'); } MainLoop; sub get_save { my $dst = $mw->getSaveFile( -initialdir => '/root/', -defaultextension => '.in', -initialfile =>'test.txt', -title => 'Save', -filetypes => [ [ 'myfiles' => '.in' ], [ 'All files' => '*' ], ], ); $dst ||= '<undef>'; warn "dst=$dst"; $button1->configure(-state=>'normal'); $subwin1->withdraw; }

I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.
