# `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 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:

class `tkinter.scrolledtext.``ScrolledText`(master=None, **kw)
  `frame`

    The frame which surrounds the text and scroll bar widgets.

  `vbar`

    The scroll bar widget.
