Question

I’m using PWM ScrolledFrame and I’d like to make its size smaller than the default size. I don’t want to use the fixed size (the usehullsize=1 option).

Here is what I tried:

import Tkinter
import Pmw

root = Tkinter.Tk()
Pmw.initialise(root)

sf = ScrolledFrame(root)
sf.interior().configure(height=50, width=50, bg='yellow')
sf.pack()

root.mainloop()

But it results in this:

The clipper frame is obviously unaffected by the configured size of the interior frame. Can I access the clipper frame somehow to configure its size as well?

Answer 1

You should include the following line after sf = ScrolledFrame(root):

sf._clipper.config(width='value_you_want', height='value_you_want')

A complete example:

#! /usr/bin/python3.2

import tkinter
import Pmw

root = tkinter.Tk()
Pmw.initialise(root)

sf = Pmw.ScrolledFrame(root)
sf._clipper.config(width=100, height = 200)
sf.interior().configure(height=80, width=80, bg='yellow')

sf.pack()

root.mainloop()

with the result:
