Q: How to Change Pmw.ComboBox width ??

[Camilo Olarte]

Hello list,
I was trying to make a Pmw.ComboBox and while using it i
needed to change its width.
I tried to configure it's inner components directly like _listbox.config
but nothing changes..
By default in my computer this combobox width is of 12 (characters)
and since I am showing number of the month i need only 3 characters.
i could use a Pmw.Counter but my boss don't likes it's arrows ...

Here is some sample code of what i'm doing.

<PYTHON>
import Tkinter, Pmw
class DemoCombo:
def __init__(self, parent):
parent.configure(background = 'white')
arrmes = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12]
# Create and pack the dropdown ComboBox.
self.dropdown = Pmw.ComboBox(parent,label_text = 'Month:',
labelpos = 'n',scrolledlist_items = arrmes,
scrolledlist_usehullsize = 1,)
# How do I change pmw combobox width ...
# self.dropdown.configure(width =2) ...Na didn't change widht
# self.dropdown._list.configure(width =2) ...Na didn't change widht
# self.dropdown._list._listbox.configure(width =2) ...Na didn't cha
nge widht
self.dropdown.pack(side = 'top')
self.dropdown.selectitem(0) # Display the first element

def fnShow(self):
print self.dropdown.get()
###################################
# Create demo in root window for testing.
if __name__ == '__main__':
root = Tkinter.Tk()
Pmw.initialise(root, fontScheme = 'pmw1')
widget = DemoCombo(root)
Frm = Tkinter.Frame(root)
testBtn = Tkinter.Button(Frm, text = 'Print Month',
testBtn.pack(side = 'left')
exitBtn = Tkinter.Button(Frm, text = 'Exit',
command = root.destroy)
exitBtn.pack(side = 'right')
Frm.pack()
root.mainloop()

</PYTHON>
