Center ttk.Checkbox in grid column
A data input form (screenshot attached) has two ttk.Checkbutton widgets. I've read the manual page for this widget and interpret the justify style as applying to only multiline text descriptors of the checkbutton. Is there a way to center the entire widget within the grid column? TIA, Rich -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Is there a widget option for the ttk.Checkbox that horizontally and vertically centers the button and label text in the column width? Rich -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

In answer to your question, widgets are centred by default; you have to tell it if you _don't_ want a widget centred horizontally or centred vertically. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

That's what I thought but the little box and button label don't look centered but left justified. Thanks, Rich -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

A workaround is to pack the widget in a tk.Frame and then put the frame in the grid cell. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

For now I'll leave it as-is and wait for feedback from users (if any) when the application is up and running. Thanks again, Rich -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I managed to get them right-justified somehow, but the following works for me on Windows to get two centered widgets. import tkinter as tk from tkinter import ttk r = tk.Tk() c1 = ttk.Checkbutton(r, text='box1') c2 = ttk.Label(r, text='box2') r.columnconfigure((0,1), minsize=100, weight=1) c1.grid(row=0, column=0) c2.grid(row=0, column=1) -- Terry Jan Reedy -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
