Entry in notebook - Tkinter-CodePudding

I have a problem with input in a notebook in TKinter. The problem is in this to add Entry to not book I tried add Entry to root and to the notebook but still is not working, so here is the code:

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk

root = tk.Tk()
root.title("Lizard Notebook")
root.geometry('600x400 50 50')
root.resizable(True, True)
root.minsize(400, 400)

notebook = ttk.Notebook(root)
notebook.pack(expand=True)

frame1 = ttk.Frame(notebook, width=1000, height=500)
frame2 = ttk.Frame(notebook, width=1000, height=500)

frame1.pack(fill='both', expand=True)
frame2.pack(fill='both', expand=True)

notebook.add(frame1, text='Notebook')
notebook.add(frame2, text='Options')

entry = ttk.Entry(root, width=40)
entry.focus_set()
entry.pack()


root.mainloop()

CodePudding user response：

Your question is difficult to understand but the code example is good and one solution is to change width and height of frame1 and frame2.

frame1 = ttk.Frame(notebook, width=600, height=352)
frame2 = ttk.Frame(notebook, width=600, height=352)

This places the entry tool beneath the notebook.

CodePudding user response：

If you want to display Entry inside Notebook then you should use frame1 instead of root

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk

root = tk.Tk()

root.title("Lizard Notebook")
root.geometry('600x400 50 50')
root.resizable(True, True)
root.minsize(400, 400)

notebook = ttk.Notebook(root)
notebook.pack(expand=True, fill='both')

frame1 = ttk.Frame(notebook)
frame2 = ttk.Frame(notebook)

frame1.pack(fill='both', expand=True)
frame2.pack(fill='both', expand=True)

notebook.add(frame1, text='Notebook')
notebook.add(frame2, text='Options')

entry = ttk.Entry(frame1, width=40)
entry.focus_set()
entry.pack()

root.mainloop()

If you want to display Entry below Notebook then don't use width,height because it creates too big notebook and it use all space in window and it can't display Entry - and you have to manually resize window to see Entry.

Better use fill='both' in

notebook.pack(expand=True, fill='both')

and it will automatically use all space but it will also display Entry
