What is PanedWindow in Python Tkinter
The Tkinter PanedWindow widget is used to divide a window or a frame space. Generally, the PanedWindow is a frame that acts as a container for grouping, organizing, and holding smaller widgets.
A PanedWindow generally holds both the horizontal and vertical stacks of the child widgets. A sash, typically a bar with a scrolling square, divides the frame or the window in the frame window. A user can resize the child widgets to the desired sizes using the sash.
How Does PanedWindow Work?
To create a panedWindow widget, you should follow the following simple syntax:
|
ttk.PanedWindow(container, **options) |

-
Bg- defines the widget's background color.
-
Bd- defines the width of the widger's border.
-
Borderwidth- determines the width of the widget's border.
-
Pointer- specifies how the cursor behaves when hovering over a widget.
-
Handlepad- sets the distance between the handle and the end of the sash.
-
Handlesize- defines the handle's size.
-
Height- determines the widget's height.
-

-
