1 :mod:`tkinter.scrolledtext` --- Scrolled Text Widget 2 ==================================================== 3 4 .. module:: tkinter.scrolledtext 5 :platform: Tk 6 :synopsis: Text widget with a vertical scroll bar. 7 8 .. sectionauthor:: Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake (a] acm.org> 9 10 **Source code:** :source:`Lib/tkinter/scrolledtext.py` 11 12 -------------- 13 14 The :mod:`tkinter.scrolledtext` module provides a class of the same name which 15 implements a basic text widget which has a vertical scroll bar configured to do 16 the "right thing." Using the :class:`ScrolledText` class is a lot easier than 17 setting up a text widget and scroll bar directly. The constructor is the same 18 as that of the :class:`tkinter.Text` class. 19 20 The text widget and scrollbar are packed together in a :class:`Frame`, and the 21 methods of the :class:`Grid` and :class:`Pack` geometry managers are acquired 22 from the :class:`Frame` object. This allows the :class:`ScrolledText` widget to 23 be used directly to achieve most normal geometry management behavior. 24 25 Should more specific control be necessary, the following attributes are 26 available: 27 28 29 .. attribute:: ScrolledText.frame 30 31 The frame which surrounds the text and scroll bar widgets. 32 33 34 .. attribute:: ScrolledText.vbar 35 36 The scroll bar widget. 37
