Re: Tk grid in a Frame => freeze

Always go with a Scrolled Pane in Tk. If you want a grid, stack 3 frames into the Scrolled Pane, and split each frame into left/right. Make sure to set expand in the Frame packing options.

I have a few small Perl/Tk apps that all use the grid method (partly because of specperl) and it seems to work okay. Is there a downside to grids that caused you to avoid using them? Elda Taluta; Sarks Sark; Ark Arks	[reply]

Use it until you find people complaining about it. :-) Just remember that "pack" is the recommended method. Gtk2 only has a "pack" method of loading windows. IIRC, it has todo with designing window widgets, so that they expand correctly on resizing. It probably leads to the never ending discussion. I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.

Luckily these are small apps with no need to resize so it's not really a problem. But yeah, resizing is terrible. Elda Taluta; Sarks Sark; Ark Arks	[reply]
