Perhaps I am not understanding something... can you please show me an example of what is not working. I consider the above a good recipe that can be applied to any scrollable widget in Tkinter. hmm, a single change to my example (Text to Frame) produces this traceback:- >C:/python24/python -u "quicksb.py" Traceback (most recent call last): File "quicksb.py", line 17, in ? text['yscrollcommand'] = sb.set File "C:\python24\lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 1146, in __setitem__ self.configure({key: value}) File "C:\python24\lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 1139, in configure return self._configure('configure', cnf, kw) File "C:\python24\lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 1130, in _configure self.tk.call(_flatten((self._w, cmd)) + self._options(cnf)) _tkinter.TclError: unknown option "-yscrollcommand" >Exit code: 1 and another change (Frame to Label) produces this traceback:- >C:/python24/python -u "quicksb.py" Traceback (most recent call last): File "quicksb.py", line 17, in ? text['yscrollcommand'] = sb.set File "C:\python24\lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 1146, in __setitem__ self.configure({key: value}) File "C:\python24\lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 1139, in configure return self._configure('configure', cnf, kw) File "C:\python24\lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 1130, in _configure self.tk.call(_flatten((self._w, cmd)) + self._options(cnf)) _tkinter.TclError: unknown option "-yscrollcommand" >Exit code: 1 This would suggest that the Frame and Label widgets are not scrollable (at least not in the 'y' direction) Cheers Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
