25.4. tkinter.scrolledtext
— Scrolled Text Widget¶
Source code: Lib/tkinter/scrolledtext.py
The 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 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 tkinter.Text
class.
The text widget and scrollbar are packed together in a Frame
, and the
methods of the Grid
and Pack
geometry managers are acquired
from the Frame
object. This allows the ScrolledText
widget to
be used directly to achieve most normal geometry management behavior.
Should more specific control be necessary, the following attributes are available:
-
ScrolledText.
frame
¶ The frame which surrounds the text and scroll bar widgets.
-
ScrolledText.
vbar
¶ The scroll bar widget.
