To use the scrolledframe without thinking about adding scrollbars, use the following wrapper to replace your "set f [frame .f]" call by a "set f [scrollframe .f]" call:

ulis, 2003-06-30: When using the wrapper, be aware to only use the grid geometry manager inside the parent of the frame. This because the wrapper uses it and that geometry managers can't be mixed.


  # function to wrap the scrolledframe package
  proc scrollframe { fname args } {

    set parent [eval frame $fname $args]

    scrolledframe $parent.sf \
        -xscroll "$parent.hs set" -yscroll "$parent.vs set"
    scrollbar $parent.vs -command "$parent.sf yview"
    scrollbar $parent.hs -command "$parent.sf xview" -orient horizontal
    grid $parent.sf -row 0 -column 0 -sticky nsew
    grid $parent.vs -row 0 -column 1 -sticky ns
    grid $parent.hs -row 1 -column 0 -sticky ew
    grid rowconfigure $parent 0 -weight 1
    grid columnconfigure $parent 0 -weight 1
    return $parent.sf.scrolled
  }

A fully wrapped example that also passes the arguments to the scrolled internal frame.

 proc Scrolled_Frame { fname args } {
    set parent [eval frame $fname $args]
    scrolledframe $parent.sf -xscroll [list $parent.hs set] -yscroll [list $parent.vs set]
    foreach {arg1 arg2} $args {
        $parent.sf.scrolled configure $arg1 $arg2
    }
    scrollbar $parent.vs -command [list $parent.sf yview] -orient vertical
    scrollbar $parent.hs -command [list $parent.sf xview] -orient horizontal
    grid $parent.sf -row 0 -column 0 -sticky news
    grid $parent.vs -row 0 -column 1 -sticky ns
    grid $parent.hs -row 1 -column 0 -sticky ew
    grid rowconfigure $parent 0 -weight 1
    grid columnconfigure $parent 0 -weight 1
    return $parent.sf.scrolled
 }
 set blah [Scrolled_Frame .sf -bg #ffffff -relief sunken -bd 50]
 set blah2 [Scrolled_Frame .sf2]
 set blah3 [Scrolled_Frame .sf3 -bg #666666 -relief groove -bd 2]
 set x 0
 while {$x < 100} {
    label $blah.$x -text "This is a Scrolled Frame."
    grid $blah.$x -row $x -column $x -sticky news
    label $blah2.$x -text "This is also a Scrolled Frame."
    grid $blah2.$x -row $x -column $x -sticky news
    label $blah3.$x -text "You guessed it."
    grid .blah3.$x -row $x -column $x -sticky news
    incr x
 }
 pack .sf -fill both -expand true
 pack .sf2 -fill both -expand true
 pack .sf3 -fill both -expand true

So, how about some examples of using the above package and proc?

For instance, above, under the screenshot, how about showing the code which created it?

ulis: see The demo & Another demo

Will this code be going into tklib?
