Do you know a way to accomplish that? Because Eric Brunel said it is impossible on a Listbox. Thanks to everybody, L -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

As I see it, there are two solutions to your problems: - Display your strings differently. It may seem stupid, but there are sometimes situations where it is the best solution. Think about Apple's way of displaying full file path names in menus: they put the file base name first, then the full directory after a separator. If you have a way to do that, your problem is solved. - Don't use a Listbox to display your list, but another widget. A simple Text with no wrap option may be a solution; setting a tag with the option justify=LEFT on your whole text would do the trick. But if your lines of text should be selectable, it may not be the right solution. In this case, another widget you can use is a Canvas. It's a little trickier but can be done. Here is an example: -- from Tkinter import * root = Tk() cnv = Canvas(root, width=150, height=250) cnv.grid(row=0, column=0, sticky='nswe') hscroll = Scrollbar(root, orient=HORIZONTAL, command=cnv.xview) hscroll.grid(row=1, column=0, sticky='we') vscroll = Scrollbar(root, orient=VERTICAL, command=cnv.yview) vscroll.grid(row=0, column=1, sticky='ns') cnv.configure(xscrollcommand=hscroll.set, yscrollcommand=vscroll.set) xMax = 0 y = 0 for i in range(20): lbl = Label(cnv, text='Very, very long item number %s' % i) cnv.create_window(150, y, window=lbl, anchor='ne') y += lbl.winfo_reqheight() xMax = max(xMax, lbl.winfo_reqwidth()) cnv.configure(scrollregion=(150 - xMax, 0, 150, y)) root.mainloop() -- Putting bindings on the Label widgets created in the loop can be used to simulate the behaviour of a Listbox.

How to align the text of a Listbox to the right
For a listbox, I would give a width and go with string formatting. In your case, I guess that what I'll do is to limit the width to something acceptable, and show only the tail of the line. Say, your width is w, then I'll show only the last w-4 chars, preceded by '... ' (ellipsis+space). It might be nice to put a label on top of your listbox and dynamically change it's text attribute to the complete version of your selection in the listbox, broken in lines of appropriate length.

Re: How to align the text of a Listbox to the right
I have to use a Listbox that shows a list of entries. Every entry is a char string quite long in size and I cannot set "width" to a large value due to limitations of screen resolution. The rightmost part is more important, so I thought that I could show only the end of the string by aligning the field to the right. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

In a real Listbox, the answer is simple: you can't. What are you trying to do? Maybe there is another widget more suited to your needs. -- python -c "print ''.join([chr(154 - ord(c)) for c in 'U(17zX(%,5.zmz5(17l8(%,5.Z*(93-965$l7+-'])" -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
How to align the text of a Listbox to the right
Greetings gentlemen and ladies, I have a question: in Tkinter, how to align a Listbox entry (i.e. a line of text) to the right? Google did not show up the answer to my request. Thanks very much. L -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
