[Tkinter-discuss] Tkinter: window manager- .resizable

[Madhu Subramaniam]

Hello,

I work with python 2.5.2 and i use Tkinter for a gui app development.
Platform with which i work is:- Linux version 2.6.9-67.ELsmp (
brewbuilder at hs20-bc1-5.build.redhat.com) (gcc version 3.4.6 20060404 (Red
Hat 3.4.6-8))**

#!/usr/local/bin/python
#----------------------
from Tkinter import *
import pdb
import os
import string
import threading
from tkFileDialog import *
from tkMessageBox import *
import sys

main_w = Tk()
main_w.resizable(width = False, height = False)
#main_w.maxsize(width= 1000, height = 3000)
print main_w.resizable()
main_w.mainloop()

In the above code the command main_w.resizable.... does not work. That
means, the user can drag the window to a larger size but cannot make the
same smaller.

On printing:
-------------
print main_w.resizable()

i do get 0,0 as output!

BUT,  the resizable attribute works  if i add the following line
main_w.maxsize(width= 1000, height = 3000)
where the values are random but should not be set to width = 0, height =0,
in which case it (widget.resizable(width = False, height = False)) does not
function.


So is this a bug, or am i doing something wrong here ? :O

Regards
Thanks
arms
