grid like pack - AlfonsMittelmeyer/python-gui-messaging GitHub Wiki

Positioning new created widgets via button 'grid'

enter image description here

For new created widgets, which don't have a layout and didn't have a grid layout before, grid without parameters works like pack.

If you have this:

enter image description here

and create a label for example

enter image description here

and press this button 'grid', then you get this

enter image description here

And so very fast, you have this:

enter image description here

Just type the name for a label, press [Enter] and then press the mouse button, if the mouse pointer is already positioned on button 'grid'.

If these labels shall be left-aligned or also right-aligned, then you may do this via the sticky button

enter image description here

This kind of positioning only applies to the first column (column 0). For the next column the number of columns has to be entered, because there isn't already a widget inside

enter image description here

The number of rows isn't neccessary, because a button press on this special button above the level 'Columns' counts them.

Only this view isn't the best for widget positioning

But a button press more on this special button changes the view

And entries for data input may be positioned via mouse click

Please note:

This grid like pack works well in the normal view

but doesn't make sense in connection with a grid cell view, because there are additional widgets inside
