Frame in Toplevel

Hello Everyone,

Can I pack a frame inside a Toplevel window? I can't get this
code to work.

toplevel .tops
frame .frm
pack .frm -in .tops

It shows an error "can't pack .frm in .tops"

I have used grid command also and got the same result.
Thanking You,

Sure you can, but the frame must first be a child of the *correct* toplevel
window. Try this:

toplevel .tops
frame .tops.frm
pack .tops.frm

Notice, that in this simple case, you don't even need the "-in" argument...
