How to prevent Tkinter frame resize?

[phil_nospam_schmidt@yahoo.com]

I am trying to prevent a user from resizing a frame beyond its
"natural" size as given by winfo_reqwidth and winfo_reqheight , without
any success. Can anyone make any suggestions, based on my code below?

Thanks!

from Tkinter import *

class Table(Frame):
def __init__(self, master,
rows=['row 1'], cols=['col 1'],
row_labels=True ,
col_labels=True ,
row_buttons=Tru e,
col_buttons=Tru e):
Frame.__init__( self, master)
self.rows = rows
self.cols = cols
self.row_labels = row_labels
self.col_labels = col_labels
self.row_button s = row_buttons
self.col_button s = col_buttons
self.col_width = 6
self.draw()
self.bind('<Con figure>', self.changed)
def changed(self, ev):
w, h = self.winfo_reqw idth(), self.winfo_reqh eight()
cfg = {}
if ev.height > h:
cfg['height'] = h
if ev.width > w:
cfg['width'] = w
if cfg:
self.config(**c fg) ######## this has no effect ########
def draw(self):
if self.row_labels or self.row_button s:
col = 1
for t in self.cols:
if self.row_labels :
e = Entry(self, width=self.col_ width,
relief=GROOVE)
e.insert(INSERT , t)
e.grid(row=0, column=col+1)
if self.row_button s:
e = Label(self, text=col, width=self.col_ width,
relief=GROOVE,b g='gray', fg='blue')
e.grid(row=1, column=col+1)
col += 1
if self.col_labels or self.col_button s:
row = 1
for t in self.rows:
if self.col_labels :
e = Entry(self, width=15,
relief=GROOVE)
e.insert(INSERT , t)
e.grid(row=row+ 1, column=0)
if self.col_button s:
e = Label(self, text=row, width=self.col_ width,
relief=GROOVE,b g='gray', fg='blue')
e.grid(row=row+ 1, column=1)
row += 1


if __name__ == '__main__':
top = Tk()
cols = ['col %s' % i for i in range(5)]
rows = ['row %s' % i for i in range(5)]
s = Table(top, rows=rows, cols=cols)
s.pack(fill=BOT H, expand=1)
mainloop()

I'm not sure I follow your code but this method is bound to the
<Configure> event *but* needs to return the string "break" so that it
does not pass that event on to the default event handler.



def changed(self, ev):
w, h = self.winfo_reqw idth(), self.winfo_reqh eight()
cfg = {}
if ev.height > h:
cfg['height'] = h
if ev.width > w:
cfg['width'] = w
if cfg:
self.config(**c fg) ######## this has no effect ########
return "break"

This may do what you want.....

Re: How to prevent Tkinter frame resize?

I've tried this, but it still doesn't work. At this point I suspect
that the problem is not with the resizing of the frame, but of the
toplevel widget in which the frame lives. I've been tinkering with
that, but still without success.

Use the wm_resizable method of the toplevel widget.[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>> from Tkinter import *; t = Tk(); t.wm_resizable( 0,0); t.mainloop()[/color][/color][/color]

Re: How to prevent Tkinter frame resize?

That's a useful tidbit of knowledge, but it doesn't quite get at what
I'm trying to do.

I want to allow a window to be resized, limited to some maximum size.
My approach was to use the <Configure> event to capture window resize
events. Then, if the new size is larger than the maximum, I would force
it back to the maximum size by reconfiguring the height and width of
the widget.

Hi!

I think what you want is maxsize():


from Tkinter import *

root = Tk()
root.maxsize(10 0,100)
root.mainloop()
