Drake, Jr. <fdrake@acm.org> + + +The :mod:`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. |
