	pack+grid frame vs. (BWidget) LabelFrame Hi there, whats the Problem with the following code: --cut-- package require BWidget LabelFrame .f label .f.l1 -text bla label .f.l2 -text bli label .f.l3 -text bla label .f.l4 -text bli pack .f -fill both -expand 1 grid .f.l1 .f.l2 grid .f.l3 .f.l4 --cut-- Works fine with an ordinary frame!

According to the LabelFrame manual page: pathName getframe Return the frame where the user can create any other widget. So you have to create your widgets inside [.f getframe], not inside .f. You are aware that Tk has a native labelframe widget that does work correctly with your example code?

Hm. Are you trying to tell me that BWidget is obsolete?

Are you trying to tell me that BWidget is obsolete? Not at all. BWidget is more than only LabelFrame. And I'm actually not sure what the BWidget LabelFrame does. According to the BWidget documentation the native Tk labelframe is more like the BWidget TitleFrame. But if the native labelframe fullfills your needs, I would use that instead of the BWidget version. But that's just me.

The good thing is that you can mix and match widget sets. I use the BWidget tree view because it is simple and easy to configure, and the BWidget listbox, because it supports images with list items; here the BWidget solution is better or simpler than the alternatives, such as TkTreeCtrl. -- Kevin Walzer Code by Kevin http://www.codebykevin.com
