I'm sure this is a simple question to the Tkinter experts - I have a
very basic Tkinter application that consists of 1 master window and
buttons within that window. My problem is that, I need to be able to
scroll (up and down) when I get to the point that the buttons go off
the screen. What's the easiest way to do this? Thanks in advance. 4 11477

The super-easiest way is to make the "background " a Text() widget, add
its scrollbars, then add the buttons and whatever else to it. Of
course you are then limited to the 'typewriter layout' of widget
placement. The typical way to do it is to make a scrolling canvas and
pack the buttons and other stuff into an empty Frame() and then pack
the frame on to the canvas, which I haven't had to do yet.

Thanks, Bob - have you seen any examples of the latter approach (using
a canvas and frame)? Sounds rather confusing, but it definitely seems
like the approach I need to take. Thanks again.

As you add more items, say text lines, in Text widget, it gets too
slow and almost impractical to use on. Take idle for example. If the
text gets bigger(e.g. print
urllib.urlopen('http://www.amazon.com').read() ), it becomes too
sluggish to use as an "interactive" shell.
I have tried wxPython and it seems to have the same problem (from my
experience using PyCrust).

Please take a look at and run the code snippet shown below.
It creates a canvas with vertical & Horizontal scroll-bars.
If you shrink the window to smaller than the area of the canvas, the
scroll-bars work as advertised. That's great.
However, if you click the Left Mouse button, it calls code which
expands the width of the canvas by 100 pixels. The area being viewed
expands correspondingly..... BUT I DON'T WANT IT TO!!

Using Tkinter, I have a Canvas with vertical Scrollbar attached. At

Can I prevent the Canvas from resizing when I am creating widgets on it

I thought the "DISABLED" made it so I could not edit it. But it also
makes it so I can not scroll down. If you make the window smaller than
the content then try to put a cursor in there to use up/down arrow you
can't.
What I want is not to be able to change text content, but no other
action is disabled. Is this complicated to do?
Thanks.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
