Frames can only have a fixed-color background.

However, it is possible to give a label widget an image, and then use that
label more or less like a frame.  This doesn't include the ability to tile the
image. (You could replace the label with a canvas, and create multiple image
objects on the canvas, to achieve this effect---I'll leave this as an exercise)

Here's an example (replace "2313usb.gif" with something you have on your
system, it's just an image I had on hand).

The line 'l.pack_propagate(0)' tells Tk to make the 'l' widget take the
size of its image or label, not the size it would take based on its children.

	# label_as_frame.py
	from Tkinter import *

	t = Tk()

	p = PhotoImage(file="2313usb.gif")
	l = Label(t, image=p)

	e = Entry(l, width=20)
	e.pack(side=TOP, anchor=W, padx=4, pady=4)
	e.focus()

	b = Button(l, command=t.destroy, text="Close")
	b.pack(side=BOTTOM, expand=Y, anchor=S)

	l.pack_propagate(0)
	l.pack()

	t.mainloop()

you can't.

if you need to display an image, use a Label (or a Canvas, but
that's probably overkill).

Hi Sajjad,
 
You can see how to do this here: http://www.pythonware.com/library/tkinter/introduction/x9867-window-geometry-methods.htm at the very bottom of the page.
 
The resizable option takes a tuple instead of something like resizable=False.
 
Essentially, you'll need to do the following:
 
master.resizable(0, 0) # as in x=0 and y=0 if master is an instance of Tk()
 
This will keep the window from being resized and make the 'maximum' button on the window to be shown as inactive (or 'grayed out' as some may say).
 
HTH,
 
Harlin Seritt

hi sajid,
you simply use that wm_resizeble option where you can restrict the user from 
changing its height or width

Message-ID: <20050828162918.23617.qmail@web30307.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

Hi, 

I have basically packed all my widgets and frames in a
label (with an image) which serves as my background.
Now the problem I am having is that when I leave my
mouse curser on the title window (with the title of
the program and min, max, quit icons) my screen inside
that window is updated after 2 or 3 seconds. But when
it is updated only the label's image is displayed and
rest of my widgets (packed inside that label)
disappear. Although when I go on top of the relative
position of a disppeared button widget (packed inside
that label) and click on it, it appears and functions
properly. Can anyone please tell me what the problem
is. 

On another topic, I read that non-rectangular windows
such as the one used by Windows Media player can be
created in Visual Studio using Windows GDI. (I have a
link to a tutorial on how to do this if anyone is
interested). I was wondering if we can do the same
using Tkinter. I know Python has wrappers for some GDI
methods. Also, if someone is interested in just
displaying the GUI with no titlebar (no min, max,
quit), they can use wm_overridedirect method. However,
this method prevents the user in minimizing,
maximizing or quitting (solution: provide your own
quit method). You cannot move the window either. By
the way, can we implement our own tk_grab methods to
move windows. 

Regards,

Sajjad

An experimental version of the shape extension says it works on Windows.  If
this is true, it should be possible to use it from Tkinter.  However, I have no
idea what the build process is for Tk extensions on Windows.  I have used the
shape extension (0.3) on Linux, though only from tcl/tk programs, never from
Tkinter ones.

The tkdnd Tk extension includes shape (at least the linux version): <http://sourceforge.net/projects/tkdnd> .
I have written a (yet experimental) wrapper for tkdnd (<http://www.8ung.at/klappnase/TkinterDnD/TkinterDnD.html>),
so maybe you can try this. I never tried tkdnd or the wrapper on windows, though.

Michael

Hi,

I am trying to install tkdnd and its tkinter wrapper
available from these sites: 

http://sourceforge.net/projects/tkdnd

http://www.8ung.at/klappnase/TkinterDnD/TkinterDnD.html

I have placed the TkinterDnD.py in the lib-Tk folder
of Python. I have also unzipped and placed the
tkdnd-1.0a2 (contains the demo, lib, doc folders)
folder in  Tcl\lib folder. There are two dlls
available. They are: libtkdnd.dll and libtkdnd10.dll.
I am not to sure where to place them. 

Now when I type the following commands, I get the
error shown below:

>>> from Tkinter import *
>>> import TkinterDnD
>>> root = TkinterDnD.Tk()

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ?
  File "c:\Python23\lib\TkinterDnD.py", line 104, in
__init__
    self.tk.eval('package require tkdnd')
TclError: can't find package tkdnd

Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong.
