Last Updated : 07 Jun, 2019

Tkinter supports a variety of widgets to make GUI more and more attractive and functional. The PanedWindow widget is a geometry manager widget, which can contain one or more child widgets panes. The child widgets can be resized by the user, by moving separator lines sashes using the mouse.

Syntax: PanedWindow(master, **options)

Parameters:
master: parent widget or main Tk() object
options: which are passed in config method or directly in the constructor

PanedWindow can be used to implement common 2-panes or 3-panes but multiple panes can be used.

**Code #1:**PanedWindow with only two panes

from tkinter import * from tkinter import ttk

root = Tk()

pw = PanedWindow(orient = 'vertical' )

top = ttk.Button(pw, text = "Click Me !\nI'm a Button" )

top.pack(side = TOP)

pw.add(top)

bot = Checkbutton(pw, text = "Choose Me !" )

bot.pack(side = TOP)

pw.add(bot)

pw.pack(fill = BOTH, expand = True )

pw.configure(sashrelief = RAISED)

mainloop()

Output:

Code #2: PanedWindow with multiple panes

from tkinter import * from tkinter import ttk

root = Tk()

pw = PanedWindow(orient = 'vertical' )

top = ttk.Button(pw, text = "Click Me !\nI'm a Button" )

top.pack(side = TOP)

pw.add(top)

bot = Checkbutton(pw, text = "Choose Me !" )

bot.pack(side = TOP)

pw.add(bot)

label = Label(pw, text = "I'm a Label" )

label.pack(side = TOP)

pw.add(label)

string = StringVar()

entry = Entry(pw, textvariable = string, font = ( 'arial' , 15 , 'bold' ))

entry.pack()

entry.focus_force()

pw.add(entry)

pw.pack(fill = BOTH, expand = True )
