Re: Perl Tk Notebook not filling main window height

[Discipulus]

hello,

your question seems very similar to Re^2: why is the size of notebooks area smaller than main window (Tk).. normally is preferable to continue the old thread instead of creating a new one..

Anyway.. even if i have not a solution I have some suggestion: first our is not appropriate in the example: my is better.

You also repack two times the same widget, creating a bit of confusion; also the withdraw / Popup is avoidable.

Then a smaller example will be better to play with. You can add Tk::WidgetDump to see how each part of your Tk program is configured, I find it very useful.

In my smaller example seems that anything i do the Tk::NotePad object has a limited size with or without -fill => 'both', -expand => 1

Can be this related to the fact (in the docs) that: The options -width and -height do not work. ?

#!/usr/bin/perl

# THIS DOES NOT RESOLVE YOR ISSUE, but is simpler to play with

my $nb_widget = $frame->NoteBook->pack(-expand=>1, -fill=>'both');

for (1..20){

            $nb_widget->add("page$_", -label=>"PAGE $_")
                        ->Scrolled("Text", -scrollbars => "e", -wrap =

                            ->pack(-expand => 1, -fill => 'both');;
