Change the size of Tkinter MessageBox

Altering the size of a standard Tkinter messagebox directly isn't straightforward because the messagebox is designed to automatically adjust its size based on its content. However, there are some workarounds that involve creating a custom message box using a Toplevel widget.

If you are okay with creating a custom message box, here's a tutorial to guide you through it:

Create a Custom MessageBox with Specified Size in Tkinter:

  1. Setting up the basic GUI with Tkinter:

    Start by creating a basic main window using Tkinter.

    import tkinter as tk
    
    root = tk.Tk()
    root.title("Custom MessageBox Size")
    root.geometry("300x200")
    
  2. Defining a custom message box function:

    Instead of the standard messagebox, we'll create a custom one using the Toplevel widget.

    def custom_messagebox(title, message, width=200, height=100):
        top = tk.Toplevel(root)
        top.title(title)
        top.geometry(f"{width}x{height}")
    
        msg = tk.Label(top, text=message)
        msg.pack(pady=20, padx=20)
    
        button = tk.Button(top, text="OK", command=top.destroy)
        button.pack(pady=10)
    
        root.wait_window(top)
    

    The function custom_messagebox allows you to specify the title, message, width, and height for your custom message box.

  3. Create a function to trigger the custom message box:

    def show_custom_messagebox():
        custom_messagebox("Custom Info", "This is a custom message box!", width=300, height=150)
    
  4. Add a button to display the custom message box:

    btn = tk.Button(root, text="Show Custom Message", command=show_custom_messagebox)
    btn.pack(pady=50)
    
  5. Run the main loop:

    root.mainloop()
    

By piecing together the above code snippets and running the script, you'll have a Tkinter window with a button. Pressing the button will present a custom message box with the specified size. You can adjust the width and height parameters in the show_custom_messagebox function to suit your needs.

  1. Customize dimensions of Tkinter messagebox:

    • Description: Customize the dimensions (width and height) of a Tkinter messagebox by using the width and height parameters.

      # Customize dimensions of the messagebox
      messagebox.showinfo("Custom Dimensions", "This is a messagebox with custom dimensions", width=300, height=150)
      
      root.mainloop()
