I designed the basic structure of GUI for my sudoku solver. So, here are the following things I am unable to 
do now
1. I could fixed the maximum length of input to 1 but how should I make it only for int
2. There are 2 buttons at the bottom which I created using "horizontal panes" and button widgets.The problem 
here is, as soon as I close and reopen the project, those positions of buttons are changing. One is turning 
down to smaller and other bigger. I had to readjust them every time.. how to fix it?
3. How to generate C code for this project? and how to link it to my source file.

This is how I want my project should work:
- The input function has an 9 by 9 array, all entries should be taken into it as soon as I click "submit"- 0 
should be taken in place of empty 'text entry'- After submitting, my code gives output which has to be shown 
there- Input entry numbers should be in colored and shown in bold format.

Thanks
