Hola Monks! I am trying to dynamically switch some widgets from a 4x4 to a 1x4 grid (and expand to fill all space).
I am using ->grid as the geomgr. Creating the 4x4 is easy, so is the 4x1. Even switching is easy, but the geomgr remembers the old "column" or "row" and leaves unused space around...
I read in Learning Perl/Tk (p46), that this is the case. Outside of destroying the bounding frame is there any way to do this? (Destroying this frame would cause other geomgrs to repack and it isn't good). I am sure I am missing something easy ;)

any ideas?

thanks !!!
