Multiple Label Frame, tkinter GUI did not match the specific row and column

Question

I create 2 frame in column 1 in my program, the first one is ok, i use sticky = N,it position properly at the top, but for the next frame, it does not appear at the bottom of my program, here is the

here is how i define the first frame:

def DateSelection(self):
    self.SelectDateFrame = LabelFrame(self,text="Period Selection",height= 215,width =260)
    self.SelectDateFrame.grid(row= 0, column=1,padx=2,sticky=N)
    self.SelectDateFrame.grid_propagate(0)

    instructionLabel=Label(self.SelectDateFrame,text="Enter a date or use the select date button.")
    instructionLabel.grid(row =1,column=1)

    startDateLabel=Label(self.SelectDateFrame,text="Start Date:")
    startDateLabel.grid(row =2,column=1,sticky=W)

    startDate_ent =Entry(self.SelectDateFrame,width=40)
    startDate_ent.grid(row =3, column =1,padx=6,pady=6)

    endDateLabel=Label(self.SelectDateFrame,text="End Date:")
    endDateLabel.grid(row =5,column=1,sticky=W)

    endDate_ent =Entry(self.SelectDateFrame,width=40)
    endDate_ent.grid(row =6, column =1,padx=6,pady=6)

    # Create the Select start date and Select end date button for UAH
    StartDatebtn = Button(self.SelectDateFrame, text="Select Start Date", command=printMessage,height =1, width =12)
    StartDatebtn.grid(row=4,column=1)

    EndDatebtn = Button(self.SelectDateFrame, text="Select End Date", command=printMessage,height =1, width =12)
    EndDatebtn.grid(row=7,column= 1)

This is the second frame code which did not appear below the first frame in my program:

def UASuggestion(self):
    self.SuggestUAFrame = LabelFrame(self,text="Case Suggestion for UA",height= 220,width =220)
    self.SuggestUAFrame.grid(row=8, column=1,padx=2,pady=2,sticky=N,)
    self.SuggestUAFrame.grid_propagate(0)

I think can set the grid_rowconfigure and grid_columnconfigure but not sure how this can fix in my code,Regards.

: This is a screenshot showing how "Case Suggestion" fails to appear right below "Period Selection" screenshot

Answer 1

The frame is appearing exactly where you tell it to appear. You placed "Case suggestion ..." in row 8, which means it must appear below row 0. However, row 0 is very tall, which means anything below it will be off the visible part of the screen since you forced the screen to be a specific size and don't allow it to be re-sized.

If I understand what you want ("Case suggestion..." immediately below "Period Selection"), you need to do two things for a quick and dirty fix:

1. move "Case suggestion..." to row 1, and
2. make "User Activity History" span two rows

For example:

self.UAHFrame.grid(row= 0, column=0, rowspan=2, ...)
...
self.SuggestUAFrame.grid(row=1, column=1,...)
