GUI with sophisticated Table support

Hi,

i want to write an application where i need a Table to
display some values.

The table should display a list of objects, so to say,
a column for each attribute of the object.
I'd also like the user to be able to change the width
of each column, like in Excel.

I'd prefer to use Tkinter, but i think it can't do all
that.

Is there a way for Tkinter to handle this?

If not, what other GUI can do that? (wxPython?)
Thanks for hints,
Torsten.

Do a group-google search for *tkinter table*. That shows up quite a few
hits.

What you are looking for is contained in the wxPython demo app.


Thanks for hints,
Torsten.

thanks for that hint, but nearly every hit shows the Table of contents
for Tkinter", which is not what i search for.

My question here is rather in detail about Tkinters Table and if it can
show resizable columns tho easily display a list of objects.

I did not find any help searching for this with google, but i'd really
rather like to use Tkinter over wxPython, that's the background of the
question.

Thanks for your help anyway, sorry if my question was unclear.
Best regards,
Torsten.

Hmmm -- there's a tktable (on sourceforge) which claims to have
resizable columns and a Python/Tkinter wrapper, but I haven't tried it,
myself. tktable.sourcef orge.net for more info...

Do a *group* google serach (i.e. a search w/i groups indexed by Google,
formerly known as DejaNews).

Then you'll get for example
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Coo...n/Recipe/52266
http://tkinter.unpythonic.net/wiki/SortableTable
http://groups.google.at/groups?hl=de...0news.supernew
s.com
to name a few.

But even if I do a normal (i.e.. web) google search I get
http://pmwcontribd.sourceforge.net/P.../Table.py.html
for example.

hello I have a DB with many inter-related tables (MySQL) My main table called "content" has almost only foreign keys (integers) some have a 3 level relation (ex: content->city->region->country) I would like admins to be able to insert new records including all the "content" fields (in 1 page form) But how can I make an insert form that would display the related tables as list menus instead of a textfield with a number?

Please explain to a experienced fool like me, how to hide table rows correctly at this case. http://marekmand.kuubik.ee/iebug_canthide_table_rows_properly.htm Click on the header "label" and see how IE6 SP1 draws the borders wrongly. How it can be patched? Does that mean, that with the collapsed border table model one cannot set the display of rows successfully with no side effects in IE6 SP1?

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
