I don’t succeed to modify the size of the main windows of my TCL TK GUI :

But if I type :

package require BWidget

MainFrame .main 
            -textvariable status 
            -progressvar  prgindic 
            -progressfg SteelBlue4 
            -progressmax 100 
            -progresstype infinite 
            -width 5000 
            -height 5000

pack .main  -fill both -expand 1

then I have a big windows that is created and this is correct.

But if I add after that all element of my GUI in this windows, then parameters -width and -height of MainFrame procedure seem to be no more used. the windows created is then a medium size. I can still manually resize the gui when it is created but I don’t succeed to create a main windows that has directly the needed size.

If a try to resume what is added in this main windows, there are :

• a toolbar :
  set tb [.main addtoolbar]

• button :
  set bbox1 [ButtonBox $tb.bbox1 -spacing 0 -padx 1 -pady 1 -homogeneous 0]

• notebook creation :
  set notebook [NoteBook [.main getframe].note -width 5000 -height 5000 -homogeneous 0 -tabbevelsize 4 -arcradius 3 ]
  pack $notebook -fill both -expand 1 -side top

and also a lot of stuff inside the notebook are added (frame, etc)

please note that I also added -width and -height parameter in this last procedure (NoteBook) but without success, these parameters are not used.

do you know what could “erase” the size of my GUI ? is there a option in TK that could make my gui to be iself dimensionned and to ignore the -width and -height parameters ?
