<H1><A NAME=
"SECTION0018300000000000000000">
16.3 <tt class=
"module">ScrolledText
</tt> --
<A NAME=
"module-ScrolledText"></A>
<p class=
"availability">Availability:
<span
class=
"platform">Tk
</span>.
</p>
The
<tt class=
"module">ScrolledText
</tt> 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
<tt class=
"class">ScrolledText
</tt>
class is a lot easier than setting up a text widget and scroll bar
directly. The constructor is the same as that of the
<tt class=
"class">Tkinter.Text
</tt> class.
The text widget and scrollbar are packed together in a
<tt class=
"class">Frame
</tt>,
and the methods of the
<tt class=
"class">Grid
</tt> and
<tt class=
"class">Pack
</tt> geometry managers
are acquired from the
<tt class=
"class">Frame
</tt> object. This allows the
<tt class=
"class">ScrolledText
</tt> widget to be used directly to achieve most normal
geometry management behavior.
Should more specific control be necessary, the following attributes
<dl><dt><b><tt id='l2h-
4882' xml:id='l2h-
4882'
class=
"member">frame
</tt></b></dt>
The frame which surrounds the text and scroll bar widgets.
<dl><dt><b><tt id='l2h-
4883' xml:id='l2h-
4883'
class=
"member">vbar
