I am making a custom messagebox widget.My work is under process.But i cant make it as real as Tkinter Messagebox in terms of functionality. Here is my Code.

from tkinter import *
from tkinter.ttk import Style,Frame as fp
class messagebox():
    def __init__(self,parent):
        self.parent = parent
#image in base 64 encoded format to make a round corner window with ttk frame
        borderImageData='''

I want to know how to work like normal messagebox ?,i mean flashing while focus out, come along with parent window(means not to hide behind) when parent has focus in/out.I know flashing is not possible due to overredirect flag,but if anyone give me idea about proper event binding to achieve the flashing effect,then i just change 2/3 colors to my toolbar in a loop. If you go for parent.winfo_children state disable method then it does not work for me cause I have some labels in bind events. Any help will be appriciated. Thank You!! EDIT: I have deleted the extra lines used for centering position of screen and mouse draging.Remaining are essential

  • I'm sorry but your whole code is a mess and has nothing to do with a stackoverflow.com/help/minimal-reproducible-example Commented Sep 20, 2020 at 13:46
  • ok i am gonna edit now and add some comment lines Commented Sep 20, 2020 at 13:49
  • Please try to not include extremely long lines of code. Just delete them and replace them with a comment explaining what is is. =D Commented Sep 20, 2020 at 14:27

So I did another toplevel over the root and made it transparent.. this color you can change how you like and its still responsive after deactivate the root.

import tkinter as tk

root=tk.Tk()
def top():
    top = tk.Toplevel()
    top.overrideredirect(1)

    top2 = tk.Toplevel()
    root.update_idletasks()
    top2.overrideredirect(1)
    top2.config(bg='red')
    top2.attributes('-alpha', 0.11)
    x,y = root.winfo_rootx(), root.winfo_rooty()
    width, height = root.winfo_width(),root.winfo_height()
    top2.geometry("%dx%d+%d+%d" % (width,height,x,y))
    
    root.wm_attributes("-disabled",True)
    
    top2.bind('<Button-1>', lambda e ,top=top2:flash(top))
    top.bind('<Escape>', lambda e: top.destroy())
    top.bind('<Destroy>', lambda e: [top2.destroy(),root.wm_attributes("-disabled",False)]))
def flash(top):
    print('hi')
    top.after(50,lambda: top.configure(bg='blue'))
    top.after(120,lambda: top.configure(bg='red'))
    top.after(170,lambda: top.configure(bg='blue'))
    top.after(240,lambda: top.configure(bg='red'))

b = tk.Button(root, command=top)
b.pack()

root.mainloop()

If you have any questions, let me know.

No,I want a event or something that trigerred a method inside my module by which i just change 2/3 colors for my toolbar in a loop, I mean event like focus in/out and every time click on parent that method should trigerred.But after disabling parent i cant do bind mouse click.Thank u!!!
@Hacker6914 what means 2/3 colors?
Like normal message box ,the window toolbar and border flashes for sometime,but i have no window border(cause i have overedirected it),So in that place i will add 2 or 3 colors to my custom toolbar to run in a loop and produce that effect.Therefore i need some event of parent window to triger that loop and produce that effect.Thank u!!!
why will i minimize to produce flash effect.Better i will change background color of my custom toolbar to flash effect. And after this statementself.parent.wm_attributes("-disabled",True),then Button 1 binding wont work
So much thanks ,u gave a lot of effort to solve my problem.but one thing i dont understand how can be possible to work for a destroy event as its a over redirect window.Tell me the logic. Again thank u. Some times messy codes helps a lot❤
