hi every one i am trying to make a gui. in which i have placed a hbox in my window and 2 hboxes (hbox1 ,hbox2) inside the main hbox. but the problem is that the hbox1 and hbox2 share equal space is there a way through which i can give more space to hbox1 and less space to hbox2
here is my code
hbox = gtk_hbox_new(FALSE,1);
hbox1 = gtk_hbox_new(FALSE,1);
hbox2 = gtk_hbox_new(FALSE,1);
gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(hbox),hbox1);
gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(hbox),hbox2);
gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(window), hbox);
thanks
This is all explained in the GTK tutorial, in the "Packing Widgets" section.

I am trying to make an application for a school project, one of the features is a messaging service where users can message each other, this is accessed via a button in which the messaging GUI is loaded. I have already added a canvas as the background for the main GUI at the start of the program but for the message interface I have added another canvas which overlaps and will be using a scrollbar to scroll through the messages and display them.
In essence my problem is that I would like to position another canvas on top of the main canvas using co-ordinates and add a scrollbar which only fits to the right hand side of this smaller canvas.
Thanks in advance :)
I have tried to add a scrollbar to it using pack(), grid(), place() and canvas.create_window() however in all instances the scrollbar either does not appear, does not fill the entire right hand side of the second canvas, or is not placed in the correct position. The closest I got was with the place() function where I have managed to position the scrollbar and canvas using "relx", "rely" and "relheight" however the scrollbar is not scrolling the canvas.
root = Tk() #creates the GUI
root.title("Eclass")
root.iconbitmap(default='icon.ico') #sets icon
root.state('zoomed')
backgroundcolour = root.cget("bg")
screen_width = root.winfo_screenwidth() - 15
screen_height = root.winfo_screenheight()
canvas = Canvas(root, width = screen_width, height = screen_height)
def messaging():
canvas.delete("all")
msg_canvas = Canvas(canvas, width = 1530, height = 730, bg = "red")
#canvas.create_window(1123,600, window = msg_canvas) this is where I tried to add the second canvas using the create_Window function
msg_canvas.place(relx=0.186, rely=0.227)
msg_scrollbar = Scrollbar(canvas, orient="vertical",command=msg_canvas.yview)
msg_scrollbar.place(relx=0.975,rely=0.2295, relheight = 0.717)
msg_canvas.config(scrollregion=msg_canvas.bbox(ALL))
I expect the canvas to be placed within the current co-ordinates given via relx and rely or in previous trial the co-ordinates in canvas.create_window(), I then expect the msg_scrollbar to be on the right hand side of msg_canvas and fill to its Y (the height of the scrollbar should be the same as the height of the canvas). In actuality the canvas and scrollbar are in the correct co-ordinates however the scrollbar does not scroll the msg_canvas even after moving it.
, In essence, my problem is that I would like to position another canvas on top of the main canvas using co-ordinates and add a scrollbar which only fits the right-hand side of this smaller canvas.
I recommend against using place. Both pack and grid are better for creating code that is responsive to changes in resolution, window size, and fonts.
IMHO, the simplest solution is to use pack to put the main canvas at the bottom, then in the remaining space put the scrollbar on the right and the secondary canvas on the left. Note: the order is important, as each time you call pack it will use up all of the space on the given side, reducing the space available to future widgets.
canvas.pack(side="bottom", fill="both", expand=True)
msg_scrollbar.pack(side="right", fill="y")
msg_canvas.pack(side="left", fill="both", expand=True)
You can accomplish the same thing with grid, but it requires additional lines of code to configure row and column weights. With grid order isn't as important since you are explicitly setting rows and columns.
msg_canvas.grid(row=0, column=0, sticky="nsew")
msg_scrollbar.grid(row=0, column=1, sticky="ns")
canvas.grid(row=1, column=0, columnspan=2, sticky="nsew")
root.grid_rowconfigure((0,1), weight=1)
root.grid_columnconfigure(0, weight=1)
【Summary】
By tkinter, python. I set scrollbar on Canvas ... Then that has been succeeded.
But missing knob in scrollbar.
【Background】
This is my application that developing now.
App's purpose is simple. Get some icons from target URL, Then put as tile in Window.
Application Window graphic
As you see, Can't put all icons in initial window size.
So I want to use scrollbar, Then scrolldown to show below icons.
Now succeeded put scrollbar at right side. But in that bar missing knob(thumb).
So this isn't working as scrollbar (TωT)
【Question】
How to make code to this vertical scrollbar working?
This is scrollbar build section in my src file.
Already exists scrollbar, It's almost fine... But maybe missing something.
# Make vertical scrollbar to see all stickers -----------------------
outCV = tk.Canvas(self.iconsFrame, width=GUIController.__windowWidth, height=GUIController.__windowHeight)
scrollbar = tk.Scrollbar(self.iconsFrame, orient=tk.VERTICAL)
scrollbar.config(command=outCV.yview)
scrollbar.pack(side=tk.RIGHT, fill=tk.Y)
outCV.configure(yscrollcommand=scrollbar.set)
outCV.pack()
# --------------------------------------------------------------------
gridRow = 0
gridCol = 0
for i, tkimg in enumerate(self.tkimgs) :
# Put icons as tile.
Please give me your knowledge.
(FYI) https://github.com/we-yu/L_SL/blob/develop/Canvas_in_Canvas/src/GUICtrl.py Line:196
I found already how to solve it by myself.
There are 2 points in my case.
Should be set scrollregion
Scrollbar works for only Canvas. So, on my case. Need overlapped frames and canvases.
Solving way
self.outerCV = tk.Canvas(self.iconsFrame, width=GUIController.__windowWidth, height=GUIController.__windowHeight)
scrollbar = tk.Scrollbar(self.iconsFrame, orient=tk.VERTICAL)
scrollbar.pack(side=tk.RIGHT, fill=tk.Y)
scrollbar.config(command=self.outerCV.yview)
self.outerCV.config(scrollregion=(0, 0, 2000, 2000), yscrollcommand=scrollbar.set)
self.outerCV.pack(fill=tk.BOTH)
galleryFrame = tk.Frame(self.outerCV)
self.galleryTag = self.outerCV.create_window((0, 0), window=galleryFrame, anchor=tk.NW, width=self.outerCV.cget('width'))
Put Basement-frame at bottom of window. Then put Canvas on that. Scrollbar attaches on this Canvas.
But if put Canvas on this Canvas, Scrollbar works for scroll, But window won't be working.
So, put frame on scrollbar-canvas. Then Main graphic canvases on that frame.
[Canvas-1][Canvas-2][Canvas-3]...
[Frame for gallery]
[Canvas for Scrollbar]
[Basement frame]
Note that I am using Python3 and Phoenix.
I would like to display a number (double, but that does not matter now) formatted in some way (again, no matter what that way is) within a rectangle: almost a wx.StaticText but not editable by the user. This is to display some data coming from some hardware, such as a temperature.
Is there such a widget?
I tried with using the default wx.StaticText with a style but I must have done something wrong:
hbox = wx.BoxSizer(wx.HORIZONTAL)
title = wx.StaticText(parent, label=label)
title.SetLabelMarkup("<b>{}</b>".format(label))
hbox.Add(title, border=5)
value = wx.StaticText(parent, label="3.141592", style=wx.BORDER_RAISED)
value.SetWindowStyle(wx.BORDER_SIMPLE)
hbox.Add(value, border=5)
title = wx.StaticText(parent, label="\u2103")
hbox.Add(title, border=5)
Shows this on Linux (Fedora 24, GTK):
Wouldn't using a wx.TextCtrl set to read only do the job?
Temp = wx.TextCtrl(panel1, value="3.141592", style=wx.TE_READONLY)
Temp.SetBackgroundColour('green')
The simplest solution is to just use wxStaticText with a border style (e.g. wxBORDER_SIMPLE, ...). If you don't like the appearance this results in, it's pretty simple to make your own widget drawing whatever border you desire: just create a window, define its wxEVT_PAINT handler and draw the (presumably centered) text in it and a border outside of it.
in my vaadin project i have a vertical layout (with the height 100%), with two other vertical layouts inside. the fist one has a fixed height, while the second one should fill the remaining space of the browser-window. it will have a bigger height than the remaining space and has an overflow-y: scroll css-attribute. i tried this with the method setExpandRatio but did not work (the height was often more than the remaining space). can i achieve this just with vaadin, or do i have to use javascript for this?
AbstractOrderedLayout root = new VerticalLayout();
root.setHeight(100, Unit.PERCENTAGE);
AbstractOrderedLayout child1 = new VerticalLayout();
AbstractOrderedLayout child2 = new VerticalLayout();
child1.setHeight(200, Unit.PIXELS);
root.addComponent(child1);
child2.setHeightUndefined();
root.addComponent(child2); // child2 will be filled with items. if its higher than the remaining space, it should be scrollable (overflow-y: auto)
// root.setExpandRatio(child2, 1F);
So if i've understood right you would like to have a first area with fixed height and a second area that could be bigger than remaining height so it needs to scroll.
If that's the case, here's the layout
VerticalLayout"Main" (sizeFull)
VerticalLayout"1" (width 100%, height fixed): fill this layout with your fixed height content
Panel (sizeFull + setExpandRation on VerticalLayoutMain to 1)
VerticalLayout"2" (width100%, heightUndefined): fill this layout with your other content

I am trying to put a QtableWidget inside a QScrollArea (only one widget) to be able to scroll it vertically and horizontaly (I have reasons not to use scrollbars in Qtablewidget ). However, no scrollbar appears even though the tableWidget can’t fit inside the window so I set QtCore.Qt.ScrollBarAlwaysOn, and now they are there but they are gray and still I can't scroll.
Here is my code:
class Table(QtGui.QDialog):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(Table, self).__init__(parent)
layout = QtGui.QGridLayout()
tableWidget = QtGui.QTableWidget()
#.... set up and populate tableWidget here 1000rows-10col ....
myScrollArea = QtGui.QScrollArea()
myScrollArea.setWidgetResizable(True)
myScrollArea.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(QtCore.Qt.ScrollBarAlwaysOn)
myScrollArea.setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy(QtCore.Qt.ScrollBarAlwaysOn)
myScrollArea.setWidget(tableWidget)
layout.addWidget(myScrollArea)
self.setLayout(layout)
self.setMinimumSize(1000, 700)
I am begginer with PyQt and I don't really understand layouts and containers, so I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Please point me in right direction, help would be appreciated.
QtScrollBar by default has horizontal and vertical scrollBar.
tablewidget by default has horizontal and vertical scrollBar. so i have made it off.
just using the resize event i have resized width and height of tablewidget.
class MainWin(QtGui.QDialog):
def __init__(self,parent=None):
QtGui.QDialog.__init__(self,parent)
self.table =QtGui.QTableWidget(100,4)
self.table.setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy(QtCore.Qt.ScrollBarAlwaysOff)
self.table.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(QtCore.Qt.ScrollBarAlwaysOff)
lay = QtGui.QGridLayout()
self.sc = QtGui.QScrollArea()
self.sc.setWidget(self.table)
lay.addWidget(self.sc,0,0)
self.setLayout(lay)
def resizeEvent(self,event):
self.table.resize(self.sc.width(),self.sc.height())
def main():
app=QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
win=MainWin()
win.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
main()
I finally get it:
I've used resizeColumnsToContents() and resizeRowsToContents() to make the columns/rows of the table adjust to the data - text, but that doesn't do the same thing with the Table itself - table height and width stays the same. So in order to make table to be sized around the rows and columns I've used this:
self.table.resizeRowsToContents()
self.table.resizeColumnsToContents()
self.table.setFixedSize(self.table.horizontalHeader().length(), self.table.verticalHeader().length())
and now I can scroll with QScrollArea's scrollbars through entire table.
