My application uses CustomTkinter and reads data on start up: import customtkinter as ctk from CTkMessagebox import CTkMessagebox class App(ctk.CTk): def __init__(self) -> None: super().__init__() self.wnd_root = ctk.CTk() self.after_idle(self.on_startup) def on_startup(self) -> None: # Load required data here, assume it fails mbox = CTkMessagebox() self.wait_window(mbox) self.destroy() if __name__ == '__main__': app = App() app.mainloop() If this fails it outputs a message box and waits for it to close then destroys the window. This throws a "TclError: can't invoke "wm" command: application has been destroyed" error: invalid command name "2759755045376check_dpi_scaling" while executing "2759755045376check_dpi_scaling" ("after" script) invalid command name "2759665803776update" while executing "2759665803776update" ("after" script) Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\danie\PycharmProjects\THCompetencyTracker\source\close_test.py", line 20, in <module> app.mainloop() File "C:\Users\danie\PycharmProjects\THCompetencyTracker\.venv\Lib\site-packages\customtkinter\windows\ctk_tk.py", line 157, in mainloop self._windows_set_titlebar_color(self._get_appearance_mode()) File "C:\Users\danie\PycharmProjects\THCompetencyTracker\.venv\Lib\site-packages\customtkinter\windows\ctk_tk.py", line 319, in _windows_set_titlebar_color self.state(self._state_before_windows_set_titlebar_color) # other states ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Users\danie\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\Lib\tkinter\__init__.py", line 2290, in wm_state return self.tk.call('wm', 'state', self._w, newstate) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ _tkinter.TclError: can't invoke "wm" command: application has been destroyed can't invoke "winfo" command: application has been destroyed Any help?
