Not sure of what you want.
Maybe that?

  pack [button .b -text Show! -command show -width 10] -pady 10
  proc show {}   {
    pack [frame .f -relief groove -bd 2]
    pack [entry .f.e -width 15] -padx 20 -pady 20
    .b config -text Hide! -command hide 
  }
  proc hide {}   {
    destroy .f 
    .b config -text Show! -command show 
  }

Hi,

I think the link below has an example that should help you solve the problem:

http://www.ccs.neu.edu/research/demeter/course/projects/demdraw/www/tickle/u3/tk3_dialogs.html

Basically you need a toplevel window which will be the child of the main window and then put all the widgets that you want in the window.

Look at the code below: Where I am creating a Find window and placing two buttons Ok and Cancel in it.

global flagno
toplevel .find
wm title .find "Find"
wm transient .find .

set temp [winfo x .]
set temp2 [winfo y .]
set x2 [expr 100 + $temp]
set y2 [expr 100 + $temp2]
wm geometry .find 200x125+$x2+$y2

button .find.b1 -text "Ok" -background red -command {set flagno 0 ; destroy .find}

button .find.b2 -text "Cancel" -background red -command {set flagno 1 ; destroy .find}

pack .find.b2 .find.b1 -fill y -padx 1m -pady 1m

update idletask
grab .find
tkwait window .find

What I mean when you press the OK button in your program
it spring out another frame with an entry widget and a button( for example dismiss),when I press dismiss the frame
springed out will disappeared.

Thats exactly what the code above does. Simply put the above code in a proc and call that proc on the click of a command button on window 1. That will start a new window-- Window 2 and you can have the two buttons on it as you want-Ok and Cancel. Write two seperate procs or simply single proc that destroys the new window.
