Expanding tkinter widgets to fill the window

Hi,

I am writing a GUI front end in Python using Tkinter. I have
developed the GUI in a grid and specified the size of the window. The
widgets are centered into the middle of the window. I would like them
to fill the window. I tried using the sticky=E+W+N+S option on the
widgets themselves and the window itself.

How can I get this?

Thanks.

If at all possible post a short, self-contained, correct, example

try;
sticky = NSEW
without plus signs

headFrame = Frame(win01, bg = 'light
grey', bd=10)
headFrame.grid( row = 0, column=0, sticky =
NSEW)

hi people. when i create a widget, such as a toplevel window, and then i destroy it, how can i test that it has been destroyed? the problem is that even after it has been destroyed, the instance still exists and has a tkinter name, so testing for None is not feasible: >>> import Tkinter >>> fin = None >>> fin1 = Tkinter.Toplevel()

Here's a strange one in Tkinter that has me stumped: (I'm running python 2.4 on Suse Linux 9.3 64bit) I'm trying to make a set of Entry widgets with Label widgets to the left of each one, using the grid layout. If I make and grid the Label *before* the Entry then the Entry widget doesn't seem to work - it lets me put the cursor in it, but I can't type! See example code below. Is this just me doing something really really silly, or is...

I'm a newbie here, especially with Tkinter. I'm writing a program that has 3 phases, if you will, in which I would have to clear the window and insert new widgets. Is this possible, and if so, how? I'm writing my application class based on Frame, if that helps at all.

Hi, I'm in the process of writing some code and noticed a strange problem while doing so. I'm working with PythonWin 210 built for Python 2.5. I noticed the problem for the last py file processed by this script, where the concerned tmp file is only actually written to when PythonWin is closed. In other words, after I run this script, one of the generated tmp files has a size of 0kB. I then close PythonWin and it is then written to.

Hi all, I realize this is more of a Tk question than a python one, but since I'm using python and don't know Tcl/Tk I figured I'd ask here first before bugging the Tcl folks. I am having a terrible time trying to get a pack() layout working. I have three frames stacked top to bottom and stretching across the master window from edge to edge.

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,...
