Column(
    layout,
    background_color = None,
    element_justification = "left",
    size = (None, None),
    size_px = (None, None),
    pad = None,
    scrollable = False,
    vertical_scroll_only = False,
    right_click_menu = None,
    key = None,
    visible = True

Parameter Descriptions

Name	Type	Default	Description
background_color	str	None	color of background of entire Column. Can be in #RRGGBB format or a color name "black"
element_justification	str	left	All elements inside the Column will have this justification 'left', 'right', 'center' are valid values
key	str or int or tuple or object	None	Value that uniquely identifies this element from all other elements. Used when Finding an element or in return values. Must be unique to the window

size	(int or None, int or None)	(None, None)	(width, height) size in pixels (doesn't work quite right, sometimes only 1 dimension is set by tkinter. Use a Sizer Element to help set sizes

Class Methods

 def update

update

Changes some of the settings for the Column Element. Must call Window.Read or Window.Finalize prior

Changes will not be visible in your window until you call window.read or window.refresh.

If you change visibility, your element may MOVE. If you want it to remain stationary, use the "layout helper" function "pin" to ensure your element is "pinned" to that location in your layout so that it returns there when made visible.

update(
    visible = None
