I'm using Python Tkinter and I want to place a variable number of text box widgets in a frame or canvas. The text boxes are packed vertically down the frame, so the first one is on top, the second one is found below, etc.. I can have all the button, listbox, etc widgets in a "left section" of the GUI, while a "right section" will only contain the text box widgets. I want the text box widgets to horizontally expand when the master window is maximized, but because there's a variable number of these widgets, the "right section" containing the text boxes also needs to be able to vertically scroll to view them all.
Currently, I'm using Canvas.create_window to add my variable number of text boxes to the canvas, and while I can scroll the canvas to view all the text boxes, they do not horizontally expand when I resize the window. I have an alternate GUI that uses a frame for the "right section", which allows the widgets to horizontally expand, but if too many are packed, I cannot scroll the frame to see the additional text boxes because I can't have a scroll bar tied to a frame.
Is there any way around this trade-off?
