New submission from Martin Cooper <mfncoo...@gmail.com>:
Attempting to use a ttk.Frame with wm_manage() causes a TclError: _tkinter.TclError: window ".!frame" is not manageable: must be a frame, labelframe or toplevel The (Tcl) documentation for wm manage states "Only frame, labelframe and toplevel widgets can be used with this command." One might reasonably expect a ttk.Frame to appropriately fall under this requirement, especially since the name 'frame' is used for them, but it does not. One must use a tk.Frame instead to make this work. At the very least, this needs to be documented. Looking at the error message and seeing it complain that a 'frame' is not one of 'frame', 'labelframe' or 'toplevel' is extremely confusing. There is nothing to lead to the conclusion that a ttk Frame is not a 'frame'. Better than documenting it, of course, would be to make wm_manage actually work properly with a ttk.Frame, as developers would expect. ---------- components: Tkinter messages: 388161 nosy: mfncooper priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: wm_manage fails with ttk.Frame type: behavior _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43411> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
