How to make a OptionMenu maintain the same width?

Question

I have a snippet which creates an OptionMenu widget.

...
options = (\'White\', \'Grey\', \'Black\', \'Red\', \'Orange\', 
           \'Yellow\'         


        

Answer 1

optionmenu.configure(width=<YOUR_WIDTH_HERE>)

Answer 2

When you use the grid command to place the widget in its parent, have the widget fill its cell (try sticky="ew")

Answer 3

To the best of my knowledge, you can use optionmenu.config(width=<YOUR_WIDTH>) as follows:

...
optionmenu = OptionMenu(par, var, *options)
optionmenu.config(width=<YOUR_WIDTH>)
optionmenu.grid(column=column, row=row)
...
