  • 0

I have a tkinter frame that I want to automatically resize on the Y axis but remain a constant width as I add label widgets to it.

To keep the X-size constant I am using grid_propogate(False) but that keeps the whole thing a constant size.

How can I set the frame to resize in this manner?

Thanks

    Ok, figured it out

    Made a larger frame that encompassed the space that my frame could fill if maxed out and used pack(fill=X) and pack_propagate(False) to make the inner frame conform to the X dimension of the outer frame while not changing it. I then could add lines to the innerframe as needed with it maintaining it’s X size:

    OuterFrame = Frame(root, height=500, width=400)
InnerFrame = Frame(OuterFrame, borderwidth=3, relief=RAISED)
InnerFrame.pack(side=TOP, fill=X)

# stuff that goes in the y-resizing InnerFrame

OuterFrame.pack_propogate(False)
OuterFrame.pack()
