--------------
|
|
The :mod:`tkinter.scrolledtext` module provides a class of the same name which
|
implements a basic text widget which has a vertical scroll bar configured to do
|
the "right thing." Using the :class:`ScrolledText` class is a lot easier than
|
setting up a text widget and scroll bar directly. The constructor is the same
|
as that of the :class:`tkinter.Text` class.
|
|
The text widget and scrollbar are packed together in a :class:`Frame`, and the
|
methods of the :class:`Grid` and :class:`Pack` geometry managers are acquired
|
from the :class:`Frame` object. This allows the :class:`ScrolledText` widget to
|
be used directly to achieve most normal geometry management behavior.
|
|
Should more specific control be necessary, the following attributes are
|
available:
|
|
|
.. attribute:: ScrolledText.frame
|
|
The frame which surrounds the text and scroll bar widgets.
|
|
|
.. attribute:: ScrolledText.vbar
|
|
The scroll bar widget.
