How to make tkintertable Table resizable

I am creating a GUI using pythons Tkinter (I am using python 2.7 if it makes a difference). I wanted to add a table and so am using the tkintertable package as well. My code for the table is: 

import Tkinter as tk
from tkintertable.Tables import TableCanvas
class createTable(tk.Frame): 
    def __init__(self, master=None):
        tk.Frame.__init__(self, master)
        self.grid()
        self.F = tk.Frame(self)
        self.F.grid(sticky=tk.N+tk.S+tk.E+tk.W)
        self.createWidgets()
    def createWidgets(self):
        self.table = TableCanvas(self.F,rows=30,cols=30)
        self.table.createTableFrame()
app = createTable() 
app.master.title('Sample Table') 
app.mainloop()

I would like to make the number of rows and columns seen change when I resize the frame. Currently there are 13 rows and 4 columns showing. I would like more to be seen when I make the window bigger. Any advice on how to achieve this would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much for your help

To achieve what you want to do, not much is needed.

The keyword here is grid_rowconfigure and grid_columnconfigure. By default, grid rows to not expand after creation when the window size is changed. Using tk.Frame().grid_rowconfigure(row_id, weight=1) this behavior changes.

The second thing you missed was that your createTable class (please consider renaming it as it sounds like a function) is not set sticky.




import Tkinter as tk
from tkintertable.Tables import TableCanvas
class createTable(tk.Frame): 
    def __init__(self, master=None):
        tk.Frame.__init__(self, master)
        #########################################
        self.master.grid_rowconfigure(0, weight=1)
        self.master.grid_columnconfigure(0, weight=1)

        self.grid_rowconfigure(0, weight=1)
        self.grid_columnconfigure(0, weight=1)

        self.grid(sticky=tk.NW+tk.SE)
        #########################################
        self.F = tk.Frame(self)
        self.F.grid(row=0, column=0, sticky=tk.NW+tk.SE)
        self.createWidgets()

    def createWidgets(self):
        self.table = TableCanvas(self.F,rows=30,cols=30)
        self.table.createTableFrame()

app = createTable() 
app.master.title('Sample Table') 
app.mainloop()

should do the trick for you.
