NAME

Tk::Scrolled - Create a widget with attached scrollbar(s)

SYNOPSIS

$whatever = $parent->Scrolled(Whatever ?,-scrollbars=>where? ?,...?);

DESCRIPTION

To stop a flood of ScrlWhatever widgets Perl/Tk introcuded the special constructor Scrolled. Scrolled creates a widget of the given Class Whatever with attached scrollbar(s).

OPTIONS

All options beside -scrollbars explained below are passed to the Whatever widget constructor.

-scrollbars: Expects as argument the position where the scrollbars should be created: w, e or n, s or a combination of them. If the one or both positions are prefixed with o the scrollbar will only show up if there is a 'real' need to scroll.

ADVERTISED SUBWIDGETS

See Tk::mega/"Subwidget" how to use advertised widgets.

scrolled: the scrolled widget
widget: same as scrolled above. widget is the kind of widget passed to scrolled as first argument in all lowercase.
xscrollbar: the Scrollbar widget used for horizontal scrolling (if it exists)
yscrollbar: the Scrollbar widget used for vertical scrolling (if it exists)
corner: a frame in the corner between the vertical and horizontal scrolbar

BUGS

If a widget does not support -{x,y}scrollcommand options, Scrolled does not complain if the specified widget class does not support them. E.g.,

$parent->Scrolled('Button', ...)

One does not get an error message or warning when one tries to configure scrollbars after the widget construction:

$ascrolled->configure(-scrollbars => 'e');
