I'm kind of stuck with this problem. I am trying to build an application with several pages. To that end, I create a main Frame and then I raise the frame I need in each moment. This is the code I wrote until now:
class Main(tk.Tk):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
tk.Tk.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
main_container = tk.Frame(self)
main_container.grid(sticky = "nsew")
main_container.grid_rowconfigure(0, weight = 1)
main_container.grid_columnconfigure(0, weight = 1)
menu_bar = tk.Menu(main_container)
file_menu = tk.Menu(menu_bar, tearoff = 0)
file_menu.add_command(label = "Save settings", command = lambda: popupmsg("Not supported yet!"))
file_menu.add_separator()
file_menu.add_command(label = "Exit", command = quit)
menu_bar.add_cascade(label = "File", menu = file_menu)
tk.Tk.config(self, menu = menu_bar)
self.frames = {}
for fr in (MainPage, GraphsPage, Page2):
frame = fr(main_container, self)
self.frames[fr] = frame
frame.grid(row = 0, column = 0, sticky = "nsew")
self.show_frame(MainPage)
def show_frame(self, pointer):
frame = self.frames[pointer]
frame.tkraise()
Then, MainPage, for example is:
class MainPage(tk.Frame):
def __init__(self, parent, controller):
tk.Frame.__init__(self, parent)
#Tried this but it doesn't work
#self.columnconfigure(0, weight = 1)
#self.rowconfigure(0, weight = 1)
#self.rowconfigure(1, weight = 1)
#self.rowconfigure(2, weight = 1)
#self.rowconfigure(3, weight = 1)
label = tk.Label(self, text = "Main Page", font = LARGE_FONT)
label.grid(row = 0, padx = 10, pady = 10)
button1 = ttk.Button(self, text = "Graphs", command = lambda: controller.show_frame(GraphsPage))
button1.grid(row = 1, sticky = 'nswe')
button2 = ttk.Button(self, text = "Page 2", command = lambda: controller.show_frame(Page2))
button2.grid(row = 2, sticky = 'nswe')
button3 = ttk.Button(self, text = "Exit", command = quit)
button3.grid(row = 3, sticky = 'nswe')
(I am not showing GraphsPage and Page 2 for simplicity). Finally, I run the program as:
app = Main()
app.geometry("1280x720")
app.mainloop()
And I am able to make the buttons fit the entire columns, but the columns do not fit the "1280x720" main container. What am I missing? Thanks in advance for your time.
