A PanedWindow is a jug widget that might enclose any number of panes, positioned horizontally or vertically. Each pane holds one widget and each couple of panes are divided by a changeable (via mouse movements) sash. Moving a sash grounds the widgets on either side of the sash to be resized.
Here is the simple syntax to create this widget:
w = PanedWindow ( master, option, ... )
| Sr.No. | Option & Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | bg The color of the slider and arrowheads when the mouse is not over them. |
| 2 | bd The width of the 3-d borders around the entire perimeter of the trough, and also the width of the 3-d effects on the arrowheads and slider. Default is no border around the trough and a 2-pixel border around the arrowheads and slider. |
| 3 | borderwidth Default is 2. |
| 4 | cursor The cursor appears when the mouse is over the window. |
| 5 | handlepad Default is 8. |
| 6 | handlesize Default is 8. |
| 7 | height No default value. |
| 8 | orient Default is HORIZONTAL. |
| 9 | relief Default is FLAT. |
| 10 | sashcursor No default value. |
| 11 | sashrelief Default is RAISED. |
| 12 | sashwidth Default is 2. |
| 13 | showhandle No default value. |
| 14 | width No default value. |
PanedWindow objects have these methods -
| Sr.No. | Methods & Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | add(child, options) Adds a child window to the paned window. |
| 2 | get(startindex [,endindex]) This method returns a specific character or a range of text. |
| 3 | config(options) Modifies one or more widget options. If no options are given, the method returns a dictionary containing all current option values. |
Try the following example yourself. Here's how to create a 3-pane widget
from Tkinter import * m1 = PanedWindow() m1.pack(fill=BOTH, expand=1) left = Label(m1, text="left pane") m1.add(left) m2 = PanedWindow(m1, orient=VERTICAL) m1.add(m2) top = Label(m2, text="top pane") m2.add(top) bottom = Label(m2, text="bottom pane") m2.add(bottom) mainloop()
When the above code is executed, it produces the following result:
