Im using Toplevel()
for popup windows and I want the popup to be displayed to the right of the mouse when it comes up. I found how to do this but only by specifying the geometry of the window. How can I control where the window comes up without specifying the size. I want the window to be the size it needs to be for whatever data is is going to display.
This is what im using right now:
helpwindow = Toplevel()
helpwindow.overrideredirect(1)
helpwindow.geometry("662x390+{0}+{1}".format(event.x_root - 1, event.y_root - 12))
How can I put only the format settings in the window geometry? Or is their a better way?
Use "+{}+{}"
without size
helpwindow.geometry("+{}+{}".format(event.x_root - 1, event.y_root - 12))
ie. moving window :)
import tkinter as tk
def move():
global pos_x
helpwindow.geometry("+{}+200".format(pos_x))
pos_x += 10
root.after(100, move)
root = tk.Tk()
pos_x = 0
helpwindow = tk.Toplevel()
move()
root.mainloop()
