I am happy to say that it is in fact possible to do it, and you can do it with just a few lines of code (I don’t know if it is so easy with other toolkits): from Tkinter import * import os root = Tk() termf = Frame(root, height=400, width=500) termf.pack(fill=BOTH, expand=YES) wid = … Read more
Your scrollbars need to have the Frame as a parent, not the Canvas: from tkinter import * root=Tk() frame=Frame(root,width=300,height=300) frame.pack(expand=True, fill=BOTH) #.grid(row=0,column=0) canvas=Canvas(frame,bg=’#FFFFFF’,width=300,height=300,scrollregion=(0,0,500,500)) hbar=Scrollbar(frame,orient=HORIZONTAL) hbar.pack(side=BOTTOM,fill=X) hbar.config(command=canvas.xview) vbar=Scrollbar(frame,orient=VERTICAL) vbar.pack(side=RIGHT,fill=Y) vbar.config(command=canvas.yview) canvas.config(width=300,height=300) canvas.config(xscrollcommand=hbar.set, yscrollcommand=vbar.set) canvas.pack(side=LEFT,expand=True,fill=BOTH) root.mainloop() The reason why this works is due to how pack works. By default it will attempt to shrink (or grow) a … Read more
For determinate mode you do not want to call start. Instead, simply configure the value of the widget or call the step method. If you know in advance how many bytes you are going to download (and I assume you do since you’re using determinate mode), the simplest thing to do is set the maxvalue … Read more
Make each page a frame. Then, all your buttons need to do is hide whatever is visible, then make the desired frame visible. A simple method to do this is to stack the frames on top of each other (this is one time when place makes sense) and then ,lift() the frame you want to … Read more
Configuring a button (or any widget) in Tkinter is done by calling a configure method “config” To change the size of a button called button1 you simple call button1.config( height = WHATEVER, width = WHATEVER2 ) If you know what size you want at initialization these options can be added to the constructor. button1 = … Read more
A Tkinter Button has three states : active, normal, disabled. You set the state option to disabled to gray out the button and make it unresponsive. It has the value active when the mouse is over it and the default is normal. Using this you can check for the state of the button and take … Read more

Tkinter has three geometry managers: pack, grid, and place. Pack and grid are usually recommended over place. You can use the grid manager’s row and column options to position the Scrollbar next to the Text widget. Set the Scrollbar widget’s command option to the Text’s yview method. scrollb = tkinter.Scrollbar(…, command=txt.yview) Set the Text widget’s … Read more
Bottom line: pump the events with the below code after an action that causes a UI event, before a later action that needs the effect of that event. IPython provides an elegant solution without threads it its gui tk magic command implementation that’s located in terminal/pt_inputhooks/tk.py. Instead of root.mainloop(), it runs root.dooneevent() in a loop, … Read more
I had a similar problem importing Tkinter on Windows 7 64-bit – seems that the 64-bit library was still in the libs folder from a previous 64-bit python install. Uninstalling 64-bit python properly and then repairing with the 32-bit installer fixed the problem for me – you don’t need to use 64-bit python.
