Tkinter - resize tkMessageBox

[rahulnag22]

Hi,
Is there a way to resize the width of the "tkMessageBox.askyesno"
dialog box, so that the text does not wrap to the next line.
Thanks
Rahul

I don't know of any.
It's a little more work but your better off using
Toplevel and/or frame, you have more control over
the window and its appearance.

You can use the Tk option database, either explicitly or from a file.
For example, to set the wrap length of all dialogs to 10 inches, try
this:

root = Tk()
root.option_add("*Dialog.msg.wrapLength", "10i")

But that does *not* affect the MessageBoxes under MacOS and Windows, right?

I apologize for my coyness. I'll be explicit: current MessageBoxes
under MacOS and Windows (but NOT X11-based MessageBoxes, as with Linux)
do NOT respect Dialog options. Tkinter will presumably build in Tile
capabilities in the future; then the default appearances may change
again.
