Syntax: PanedWindow(master, **options) Parameters: master: parent widget or main Tk() object options: which are passed in config method or directly in the constructor
PanedWindow can be used to implement common 2-panes or 3-panes but multiple panes can be used. Code #1:PanedWindow with only two panes Python3 1==
# Importing everything from tkinter module from tkinter import * from tkinter import ttk # main tkinter window root = Tk() # panedwindow object pw = PanedWindow(orient ='vertical') # Button widget top = ttk.Button(pw, text ="Click Me !\nI'm a Button") top.pack(side = TOP) # This will add button widget to the panedwindow pw.add(top) # Checkbutton Widget bot = Checkbutton(pw, text ="Choose Me !") bot.pack(side = TOP) # This will add Checkbutton to panedwindow pw.add(bot) # expand is used so that widgets can expand # fill is used to let widgets adjust itself # according to the size of main window pw.pack(fill = BOTH, expand = True) # This method is used to show sash pw.configure(sashrelief = RAISED) # Infinite loop can be destroyed by # keyboard or mouse interrupt mainloop()
