I have been working on a system that is not connected to this net work so I am going to have type a shorted version So I create a app window a few buttons and then I do some logic. Then I ask a question in a askquestion MessageBox. The problem is this code works when I run it in IDEL. But when I run as a script from ArcMAP the askquestion MessageBox doesn't get mouse focus. So the user can't say yes or no. Why no focus?Thanks
import arcpy
from arcpy import env
import Tkinter as tk
import tkMessageBox
root = tk.Tk()
maintitle = tk.Label(root,"Add things to the list")
button1 = tk.Button(root,text="Help",commend=help_call)
buttonq = tk.Button(root,text="Quit",commend=quit_calll)
## do some logic in arcpy
found_one = 0
for field in fieldlist:
if field[0:3] == "RM_" # see is any fields start with RM_
found_one += 1
if found_one == 0:
lbAnswer = tkMessageBox.askquestion("No RM found"," not RM_ fields found create them?")
if (lbAnswer == "yes":
createthe_rm_fields(inputfile)
else:
root.destroy()
root.mainloop()
