I'm experimenting with the new ttk Tile enhancements that ship with Python 2.7.
Windows 7: The code below demonstrates how the combobox dropdown shows up BEHIND our root window when the root window is configured as a topmost window ("always on top"). If you comment out the line """ root.attributes( '-topmost', 1 )""" then the combobox dropdown appears within the root window (as expected).
Anyone have any workarounds for this behavior so we can use comboboxes with 'topmost' windows?
# sample code that illustrates problem described above
import Tkinter as tkinter
import ttk
root = tkinter.Tk()
panelCombo = ttk.Frame( root )
panelCombo.pack( side='top', fill='x', padx=12, pady=8 )
valCombo = ( 'cat', 'dog', 'pig' )
varCombo = tkinter.StringVar()
varCombo.set( 'fish' )
cboCombo = ttk.Combobox( panelCombo, values=valCombo, textvariable=varCombo )
cboCombo.pack( side='left', anchor='w', padx=12, pady=8 )
# make our window 'alwaysontop'
root.attributes( '-topmost', 1 )
root.mainloop()
