A problem with a thread

[bigssa]

Hey, I have a file that sets up several UI elements created with Tkinter (see below). When I create a progress bar (createProgressBar), which runs as a seperate thread, before creating any other element then everything is fine and runs as it should. If I create any element (i.e infoDialog) before creating a progress bar then the thread never closes. Can anyone help me figure this out?

Thanks

Figured out the problem... it was an idiotic thing done by me.
