Hi all,
I'm new to the list, and I have a question about how I can get a text +
scrollbar widget to expand properly in their frame.
I'll first give you the sample code, then I'll link to images of the
problem.
*********************************************************************
from Tkinter import *
APP_NAME = "Spurgeon"
APP_VERSION = "0.10"
BIBLE_BOOKS = ["Genesis", "Exodus", "Leviticus", "Numbers"]
class Spurgeon (Frame):
"""Hopefully a class to create the Tkinter interface"""
def __init__ (self, parent = None):
"""Creates main window and widgets"""
self.root = Tk ()
self.root.title (APP_NAME + ' ' + APP_VERSION)
self.root.config (borderwidth = 3)
Frame.__init__ (self, parent)
self.pack (fill = "both", expand = "yes")
self.make_widgets ()
def make_widgets (self):
"""Create the widgets for the main window"""
# Create the main menu
self.mainmenu = Menu (self.root)
# Create the File menu
self.file_menu = Menu (self.mainmenu, tearoff = 0)
self.file_menu.add_command (label = "Open", underline = 0)
self.file_menu.add_separator ()
self.file_menu.add_command (label = "Quit", underline = 0,
command =
self.root.quit)
self.mainmenu.add_cascade (label = "File", menu =
self.file_menu,
underline = 0)
# Create the Edit menu
self.edit_menu = Menu (self.mainmenu, tearoff = 0)
self.edit_menu.add_command (label = "Cut", underline = 2)
self.edit_menu.add_command (label = "Copy", underline = 0)
self.edit_menu.add_command (label = "Paste", underline = 0)
self.edit_menu.add_command (label = "Delete", underline = 0)
self.mainmenu.add_cascade (label = "Edit", menu =
self.edit_menu,
underline = 0)
# Create the Help menu
self.help_menu = Menu (self.mainmenu, tearoff = 0)
self.help_menu.add_command (label = "About", underline = 0)
self.mainmenu.add_cascade (label = "Help", menu =
self.help_menu,
underline = 0)
# Display the main menu
self.root.config (menu = self.mainmenu)
# Create the left frame
self.tool_frame = Frame (self, borderwidth = 2)
self.tool_frame.pack (side = LEFT, anchor = NW)
Label (self.tool_frame, text = "Left frame").pack ()
# Create the right frame
self.view_frame = Frame (self, borderwidth = 2)
self.view_frame.pack (side = RIGHT, expand = "yes", fill =
"both")
# Create the area where the Bible is viewed from
self.bible_scroll = Scrollbar (self.view_frame)
self.bible_view = Text (self.view_frame, relief = SUNKEN)
self.bible_scroll.config (command = self.bible_view.yview)
self.bible_view.config (yscrollcommand = self.bible_scroll.set)
self.bible_view.pack (side = LEFT, fill = "both", expand =
"yes")
self.bible_scroll.pack (side = RIGHT, fill = Y, expand = "yes",
anchor
= W)
if (__name__ == "__main__"):
a = Spurgeon ()
a.mainloop ()
*********************************************************************
Now, if you run this, you'll notice that when you expand the window
horizontally ( <---> ) that the text + scrollbar widget doesn't expand
with the window.
Here is a screenshot of the problem to illustrate what I'm talking about:

I hope I've given enough information here to be helpful.
By the way, is there anyway to enhance the look of the Tkinter widgets
under Linux using what comes standard with Python. I'm trying to stay as
standard as I possibly can.
Thanks!
