How can I prevent a window from being resized with tkinter?

Question

I have a program which creates a window where a message is displayed according to a check box.

How can I make the window size constant when the message is displayed and the message is not displayed?

from Tkinter import *  class App:     def __init__(self,master):         self.var = IntVar()         frame = Frame(master)         frame.grid()         f2 = Frame(master,width=200,height=100)         f2.grid(row=0,column=1)         button = Checkbutton(frame,text='show',variable=self.var,command=self.fx)         button.grid(row=0,column=0)         msg2="""I feel bound to give them full satisfaction on this point"""         self.v= Message(f2,text=msg2)     def fx(self):         if self.var.get():             self.v.grid(column=1,row=0,sticky=N)         else:             self.v.grid_remove()  top = Tk() app = App(top)             top.mainloop() 

Answer 1

This code makes a window with the conditions that the user cannot change the dimensions of the Tk() window, and also disables the maximise button.

import tkinter as tk  root = tk.Tk() root.resizable(width=False, height=False) root.mainloop() 

Within the program you can change the window dimensions with @Carpetsmoker's answer, or by doing this:

root.geometry('{}x{}'.format(<widthpixels>, <heightpixels>)) 

It should be fairly easy for you to implement that into your code. :)

Answer 2

You can use the minsize and maxsize to set a minimum & maximum size, for example:

def __init__(self,master):     master.minsize(width=666, height=666)     master.maxsize(width=666, height=666) 

Will give your window a fixed width & height of 666 pixels.

Or, just using minsize

def __init__(self,master):     master.minsize(width=666, height=666) 

Will make sure your window is always at least 666 pixels large, but the user can still expand the window.
