Disable the underlying window when a popup is created in Python TKinter

by

If you don’t want to hide the root but just make sure the user can only interact with the popup, you can use grab_set() and grab_release().

b.grab_set() # when you show the popup
# do stuff ...
b.grab_release() # to return to normal

Alternatively, you could withdraw() the root to make it invisible:

a.withdraw()

will leave the root alive, but only b visible.

If you need it back, you can do

a.deiconify()
