The only way i can make the buttons look neat and then when i keep pressing one the label gets larger and then half the buttons move out of the screen. I cant seem to fix this i have tried columnspan, columnconfigure and heaps of other stuff and non works it always expands. is there a way i can stop the grid from expanding?



ok here is the code:

#window setup
main = Tk()
main.title('Calculator')
main.geometry('300x350')
main.resizable()

app = Frame(main)
app.grid()
app.columnconfigure(0, weight=500)
app.columnconfigure(1, weight=500)


#number view label
number = ' '
numberView = Label(app, text= number)
numberView.grid(row=0, column=0, columnspan=100)

#Num Pad Buttons below
num1 = '1'
button1 = Button(app, text='1', command= lambda: add(num1), width=5)
button1.grid(row=1, column=0)

num2 = '2'
button1 = Button(app, text='2', command= lambda: add(num2), width=5)
button1.grid(row=1, column=1)

num3 = '3'
button1 = Button(app, text='3', command= lambda: add(num3), width=5)
button1.grid(row=1, column=2)

num4 = '4'
button1 = Button(app, text='4', command= lambda: add(num4), width=5)
button1.grid(row=2, column=0)

num5 = '5'
button1 = Button(app, text='5', command= lambda: add(num5), width=5)
button1.grid(row=2, column=1)

num6 = '6'
button1 = Button(app, text='6', command= lambda: add(num6), width=5)
button1.grid(row=2, column=2)

num7 = '7'
button1 = Button(app, text='7', command= lambda: add(num7), width=5)
button1.grid(row=3, column=0)

num8 = '8'
button1 = Button(app, text='8', command= lambda: add(num8), width=5)
button1.grid(row=3, column=1)

num9 = '9'
button1 = Button(app, text='9', command= lambda: add(num9), width=5)
button1.grid(row=3, column=2)

num0 = '0'
button1 = Button(app, text='0', command= lambda: add(num0), width=5)
button1.grid(row=4, column=1)

main.mainloop()
