Hello,

In Tcl/Tk 8.5.8 (Windows XP), I'm trying to manage a labelframe with
the window manager (the same way as for a frame) so that it becomes a
top-level window :

package require Tk
frame .one - width 100 -height 100 -bg red
labelframe .two -width 150 - height 150 -bg blue

wm manage .one => the widget appears on screen as a top-level
window
wm manage .two => the widget doesn't appear on screen

I don't understand why in the last line the labelframe doesn't appear
on screen.

Can somebody explain my mistake and explain how to make a labelframe
a top-level window ?

Many thanks

Try this:

wm manage .two
wm deiconify .two
raise .two
