Can you fit multiple buttons in one grid cell in tkinter?

Question

I'm making a table, and the grid of the table is going to be filled with buttons, Is it possible to fit more than one button in a grid space?

Solution

Yes you can. Put a frame inside the cell, and then you can put whatever you want inside the frame. Inside the frame you can use pack, place or grid since it is independent from the rest of the widgets.

For example:

import Tkinter as tk

root = tk.Tk()

l1 = tk.Label(root, text="hello")
l2 = tk.Label(root, text="world")
f1 = tk.Frame(root)
b1 = tk.Button(f1, text="One button")
b2 = tk.Button(f1, text="Another button")

l1.grid(row=0, column=0)
l2.grid(row=0, column=1)
f1.grid(row=1, column=1, sticky="nsew")

b1.pack(side="top")
b2.pack(side="top")

root.mainloop()

Not directly, but you can put a Frame in that grid space, then put whatever you want in the Frame.
