Hi Tony,
in order to make the label through all grid columns, use:
label.grid(row=5, column=0, columnspan=<number-of-columns>)
If you want the label to use more space than it actually needs, use the grid()
command's
sticky option. You can pass one or more of 'n', 's', 'w' and 'e' to the sticky
argument; sticky='w' will put the widget to the leftmost edge of its parent,
sticky='ew' will stretch it from left to right, so in your case you might want:
label.grid(row=5, column=0, columnspan=<number-of-columns>, sticky='ews')
This stretching beyond the widget's requested width will however only take
effect, if you
specify the "weight" for the parent's grid row, resp. column:
parent.grid_rowconfigure(5, weight=1)
(this is similar to pack(fill='y')).
I hope this helps
Michael
