2When the window is hidden it won't receive any keyboard or mouse events. Are you aware of that? It can only log keys pressed in the tkinter window.Bryan Oakley– Bryan Oakley2014-03-31 15:03:53 +00:00Commented Mar 31, 2014 at 15:03

To hide the default root window you can use
root.withdraw()
and to make it visible again you can use
root.deiconify()

I tried to add root.withdraw() exitButtonPushed(), instead root.destroy() , but it wont work , see code above

thx, I will try another way , I will run keylogger.py when user click RUN , and when uses click HIDE it will exit from gui, but keylogger.py will stay running
Python 3:
from tkinter import Tk
root = Tk()
root.withdraw()

If you want to "hide" the window (NOT destroy it) and bring it back, then the way to do that is set the alpha channel.
To hide the window, set the alpha channel to 0:
master.attributes('-alpha', 0)
to restore the window set alpha to 1.0:
master.attributes('-alpha', 1.0)
[EDIT - had the incorrect type/range for the original answer. Range is 0 to 1.0 and is a float]

Thanks for the comment. Yea, I blew that answer originally.
To get rid of a GUI window I used the following in my code.
window.destroy()
and the following to bring it up again.
nameoffunction() window.lift()

window.destroy does nothing. If you want to call the destroy method you must include parenthesis: window.destroy(). If you call that on the root window, the program will exit.
