Hi Johnston,
in order for the columns to actually expand you will have to use
grid_columnconfigure(column, weight=1),
in order to make sure all buttons have the same size you can calculate the
maximum size of all buttons and pass it to grid_columnconfigure() as minsize
before
actually gridding them, like
max = 0
for b in (self.settings_bttn, self.stats_bttn, self.proc_bttn):
w = b.winfo_reqwidth()
if w > max:
max = w
self.grid_columnconfigure(0, weight=1, minsize=max)
# etc.
self.settings_bttn.grid(row = 0, column = 2, columnspan = 2, sticky = EW)
I hope this helps
Michael
