tkinter messagebox without console

Question

Facing a problem when converting my .py file to .exe using pyinstaller --noconsole, the messagebox won't work in exe file except if I created it without using --noconsole or --windowed. I have tried to not use --noconsole and use .pyw file instead but this won't make the the console hidden when running the .exe file

Does this help?: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17280637/tkinter-messagebox-without-window — The Amateur Coder, Mar 06 '23 at 11:57
am already using a window but it seems the app is closing since the console is not running and that is why the button doesn't trigger the func. maybe if there is way to keep the application running as long as the tkinter window is open — AmdDwg, Mar 06 '23 at 13:27
Sorry, I'm not familiar with `tkinter`'s `messagebox`. Please [edit] your post to include relevant code (see [mcve]). If you're using a library other than `tkinter` or other than the ones which come bundled with Python, check if you include them using something like `--add-data` or `--hidden-import`. Also, please include the exact PyInstaller command you're using in the CMD/terminal to create the EXE file. — The Amateur Coder, Mar 06 '23 at 13:35
"the msgbox wont work in exe file" This does not tell us much... Please post the error code you are receiving and create a [mre] — Alexander, Mar 06 '23 at 23:46

when removing the print(f'Error printing barcode') it works fine with me

       try:
            mysocket.connect((host, port))  # connecting to host
        except:
            host = another_host
            mysocket.connect((host, port))
        mysocket.send(zpl_b)
        mysocket.close()  # closing connection
        print(f'Error printing barcode')
        mbox= res +" barcode printed. from study: "+ dict_data["study_id"]
        messagebox.showinfo("Printed",mbox)
