RE: A Simple Menu , Stretching the Window Width--Tkinter

2009-03-03 Thread John Posner 
  
  I'd like to create a simple Menu bar with one item in it, 
  say, called My 
  Menu, and have a few submenu items on it like Change 
  Data and Exit. I 
  can do that but I'd like the title I put on the enclosing 
  window to be 
  completely visible. The title is, for example, Hello, out 
  there. This is a 
  simple menu. Presently the window shrinks in width the 
  accommodate My 
  Menu, and I see Hello, out th. How do I force the width 
  to accommodate 
  the whole title?

If you're having trouble with the size of the overall (root or toplevel)
window, this might help:

  rootwin = Tk()
  # width=500, height=350, upper-left-corner at (50,50) -- revise to suit
  rootwin.geometry('500x350+50+50')
  rootwin.resizable(False, False)
  rootwin.title(Hello, out there)
