    <p>I have a method that creates an array of buttons (simulating a grid). The user can click the buttons and a "marker" (image) will appear on it. The problem I have is that even though I'm setting height and width within my method, when it is called, the buttons appear way too big. Important to note that when the user clicks the button, it "shrinks" to the size I specified... Weird. Here is my method: </p> <pre><code>def create_grid(self, leng) : try: global board board = grid.Grid(leng) frame = tkinter.Frame(self.main_window) buttons = [] for row_index in range(0,leng) : row = [] for column_index in range(0,leng) : button = tkinter.Button(frame, height=36, \ width = 36, text = " ", \ command=lambda row=row_index, \ column=column_index: \ self.button_clicked(row,column)) button.grid(row=row_index, column=column_index) row.append(button) buttons.append(row) self.gomuko_buttons = buttons return frame.grid(row=0, column=0) except TypeError: return </code></pre> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/x8DLt.jpg" alt="Issue"></p> <p>Also, the function that executes when the button is pressed is the following:</p> <pre><code>def button_clicked(self,row,column) : global turns grid.Comp = False board.place_marker(row, column) button = self.gomuko_buttons[row][column] button['image'] = self.photo1 button['state'] = 'disabled' turns = turns + 1 </code></pre> <p>Any hint? :(</p> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>I solved it thanks to Bryan Oakley's response. Turns out the behaviour for width and height is different for images and text. I solved the problem by simply adding a blank image to the loop, like the following:</p> <pre><code>button = tkinter.Button(frame, height=0, \ width = 0, text = " ", image = self.blank, \ command=lambda row=row_index, \ column=column_index: \ self.button_clicked(row,column)) </code></pre> <p>Thanks!</p>

    1. COThere is more to the problem then you are telling us. For example, your code shows that you are creating a button with a blank label, but the picture shows a button with an image. Are you giving the button an image at some point?

    2. CODefinitely missed that... Yes, when the button is clicked, an image will appear. I'll add the piece of code that does that to the post. Thanks!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
