When I run my code, my grid of entry fields does not fit within the window, meaning I have to expand the window in order to access the lower entry fields and the buttons. I want to be able to get to them by scrolling instead.
I have tried various combinations of frames and canvasses, including putting the entry fields directly on the canvas, but at no point have I been able to create a canvas the size of the window(and therefore smaller than the grid of entries contained within it).
def __init__(self, window):
# parameter entry fields below
column_headers = ["Duration (ns)", "SPDT state", "SP4T state", "RF relative wave"]
row_number=50
self.entries = []
canvas = tk.Canvas(window, width=700, height=600)
frame=tk.Frame(canvas)
frame.grid(row=0, column=0)
canvas.configure(scrollregion=frame.bbox("all"))
for col_num, col_name in enumerate(column_headers):
tk.Label(frame, text = col_name).grid(row = 0, column = col_num)
for row_num in range(row_number): # Creates grid of entry fields and stores locations in a list of lists.
self.entries.append([]) # Entry field contents accessed by self.entries[row_num][col_num].get() (both starting at 0)
for col_num, col_name in enumerate(column_headers):
self.entries[row_num].append(tk.StringVar())
self.entries[row_num][col_num] = tk.Entry(frame)
self.entries[row_num][col_num].grid(row = row_num+1, column = col_num)
tk.Button(frame, text = "Update Parameters", command=self.get_params).grid(row = row_number+4)
tk.Button(frame, text = "Run Sweep", command= run_expt).grid(row = row_number+4, column = 1)
tk.Button(frame, text = "Abort", command = abort).grid(row = row_number+4, column = 2)
# data storage stuff below
tk.Label(frame, text="File Name").grid(sticky='W', row=row_number+3, column=0)
self.fileNameEntry = tk.StringVar()
self.fileNameEntry = tk.Entry(frame)
self.fileNameEntry.grid(row=row_number+3, column=1)
vbar = tk.Scrollbar(window, orient=tk.VERTICAL, command=canvas.yview)
canvas.configure(yscrollcommand=vbar.set)
vbar.pack(side=tk.RIGHT, fill=tk.Y)
canvas.pack(fill=tk.BOTH)
window=tk.Tk()
window.geometry("700x600")
EPR=EPRGUI(window)
window.mainloop()
Just so no one suggests this, I'd like to point out that I do have functions for all the buttons in my code, but have omitted them from this question to make it a bit quicker to read.
