Tkinter - How to make button fill more than 1 column?

I want to know how can I place this button across 3 columns :

container.grid(columnspan=3, rowspan=5)

button_result = ttk.Button(container, text="Result").grid(column=(1,2,3), row=5)

I can only place it on column 1. What if I want to make it fill the space across column 1, 2 and 3 on row 5 ?

I didn't find the answer yet, still looking for it.

Thanks !

By adding parameter columnspan you can "merge" multiple columns. Output will be centered button in merged columns. And by adding sticky parameter you can expand button to sides.

  • columnspan=3 - merge 3 columns (starting with selected)
  • sticky="we" - expand button to the left and right sides (west, east)

e.g.

from tkinter import Label, Button, Tk

app = Tk()

l1 = Label(text="text")
l1.grid(row=0, column=0, padx=10)

l2 = Label(text="text")
l2.grid(row=0, column=1, padx=10)

l3 = Label(text="text")
l3.grid(row=0, column=2, padx=10)

btn = Button(text="Check")
btn.grid(row=1, column=0, columnspan=3, sticky="we")

app.mainloop()

Check this.
