Re: ttk::label and setting a specific haeight in lines...

Hi all,

I am using a ttk::label to display a multiline message.
I have set a correct wrapping length, so the message is
correctly wrapped. However, the problem I am facing is that
the label adjusts its height according to what gets shown.
If 3 lines are shown, the label expands, if 1 line is shown
the label shrinks. And as I am using the label for
displaying progress messages (which change all the time)
the whole toplevel changes constantly in height.

Is there a way to inpose a minimum height of 3 lines in the ttk::label
widget? The ttk::label does not seem to have a -heigh option.

There's a couple things you could do:

1. Use "wm minsize <pathname> <width> <height>" to set the overall minimum size of your window.

2. Use a text widget for this function. It's a bit more effort to manage but, with scrollbars, it would simply change the size of the scrollbar and not the window.
