You will excuse me, I hope, but I'm afraid that comes across as rather foolish: "I want to hammer this nail into this piece of wood. I have a hammer, but I don't want to use a hammer. I would prefer to use a saw, or perhaps a paint brush. How can I do this?" Why don't you want to use a Canvas? That sounds like it will solve your problem. Use a Canvas as the container, give it a button, and have the button send a message to the Canvas saying "Print yourself to PDF file!" If you explain why you don't wish to use a Canvas, perhaps we can suggest a solution that doesn't involve trying to hammer nails with paint brushes. -- Steve _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
