Make another frame, which is a child of self.mainContainer and pack the
LEFT and RIGHT frames in it. Now your frame with the red background is
packed underneath and is a child of mainContainer.
eg:
def define_Frame(self):
#Destroy all child widgets
self.destroyMainChildren()
myMessage="Please type in all the words that you would like to
define"
Label(self.mainContainer, text=myMessage,
justify=LEFT).pack(side=TOP, anchor=N)
f = Frame(self.mainContainer)
f.pack(side=TOP, expand=YES, fill=BOTH)
#The LEFT Frame that comes up when you hit define
self.defineContainer1 = Frame(f, bg="green")
self.defineContainer1.pack(side=LEFT, ipadx = 5,
ipady = 5, expand=YES, fill=BOTH)
#The RIGHT Frame that comes up when you hit define
self.defineContainer2 = Frame(f, bg="yellow")
self.defineContainer2.pack(side=LEFT, ipadx=5,
ipady=5, expand=YES, fill=BOTH)
#This frame is where the define button goes
self.defineButtonF = Frame(self.mainContainer, bg="red")
self.defineButtonF.pack(side=BOTTOM,
anchor=S,
ipady=5,
ipadx=5,
fill=BOTH,
expand=YES)
