NAME
ScrolledWindow - a container with configurable scrollbars for use by any scrollable widget
SYNOPSIS
ScrolledWindow pathName ?option value...?
DESCRIPTION
The ScrolledWindow widget provides scrollbars that can be applied to any scrollable widget: typically a Tk text or canvas, or a Slab ScrollableFrame. Each scrollbar provided by the ScrolledWindow is configurable: it can be omitted if unnecessary (e.g. showing only a vertical scrollbar if horizontal scrolling is not required), and can be shown either permanently, or only if the contents of the scrollable widget are large enough to need scrolling.
Call the widget command setwidget to map a scrollable widget into the ScrolledWindow and control the scrollable widget with the scrollbars of the ScrolledWindow.
The ScrolledWindow widget is used by Slab ComboBox and SelectFont.
"Read-only" options must be supplied as arguments to the ScrolledWindow command. The values of these options cannot be changed later by calling the configure widget command.
- -auto
-
Specifies the desired auto managed scrollbar:
- none means scrollbar are always drawn
- horizontal means horizontal scrollbar is drawn as needed
- vertical means vertical scrollbar is drawn as needed
- both means horizontal and vertical scrollbars are drawn as needed (default value)
- -ipad (read-only)
-
Padding in pixels between client widget and scrollbars.
Default value: 1.
- -managed (read-only)
-
(Boolean) If true, scrollbars are managed during creation, so their size are included in the requested size of the
ScrolledWindow. If false, they are not.
Default value: true.
- -scrollbar
-
Specifies the desired scrollbar: none, horizontal, vertical
or both (default value).
- -sides (read-only)
-
Side of the scrollbars.
Possible values are: ne, en, nw, wn, se (default value), es, sw, ws.
- -size (read-only)
-
Size of the scrollbars in pixels.
Use 0 for standard size (default value).
This option has no effect if widget is themed.
- pathName cget
option
-
Returns the current value of the configuration option given by option.
Argument option may have any of the values accepted by the creation command ScrolledWindow.
- pathName configure
?option? ?value option value ...?
-
Query or modify the configuration options of the widget. If no option is specified,
returns a list describing all of the available options for pathName.
If option is specified with no value, then the command returns a list
describing the one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding
sublist of the value returned if no option is specified). If one or
more option-value pairs are specified, then the command modifies the given widget
option(s) to have the given value(s); in this case the command returns an empty string.
Argument option may have any of the values accepted by the creation command ScrolledWindow.
Read-only options cannot be modified.
- pathName getframe
-
Return the pathname of the frame where the scrolled widget should be created. This command
is no longer needed. You can directly create the scrolled widget as the child
of pathName.
- pathName setwidget
widget
-
Associate widget to the the scrollbars. widget becomes
managed by the ScrolledWindow. The user should not attempt to manage
widget until it is no longer managed by the ScrolledWindow.
widget must be a scrollable widget, i.e. have the options
-xscrollcommand and -yscrollcommand and the commands xview and yview,
such as Tk canvas or text, or Slab ScrollableFrame.
