Hi Pals..... I have an issue with creating an indicator using Tk. The issue goes like this: My current application is already using Tk to display a window but my application consumes around one minute and finally displays the result in that window. It means that I am already calling MainLoop() to display this window which is an infinite loop. I want to display a progressbar for that one min gap. I am unable to use Tk::ProgressBar since calling MainLoop for progressbar will cause my application to stuck at that point. So , I guess i cannot call MainLoop twice in a single application. To summarise: -> I need to display a some GUI indicator(progress bar) before displaying my result window. Can I do something to the window (like append messages) even after MainLoop statement. Issue is , since I am already calling MainLoop for displaying window, I am wondering how can I queue up other events like adding text messages to the same window. So suggest me some standard module which should not use Tk to create some sort of indicator... OR LET ME KNOW HOW I CAN APPEND MESSAGES TO THE EXISTING WINDOW... I SHOULD BE ABLE TO ADD TEXT MESSAGES EVEN AFTER INVOKING MAINLOOP(). Chk the psuedo-doe below and let me know if I can d something in line 5 to the created window??? PSUEDO-CODE: 
1-create MainWindow;
2-give title;
3-add widgets;
4-MainLoop();
5- Can I add messages to the above created window in this line.
