I have a panedwindow and, in the right pane, I have a frame in a canvas that I want to scroll. I can get it to scroll only if I call the canvas create_window function. When I call the create_window everything works fine, except the content frame does not expand and I have set the grid to sticky=nsew. In the example code there is a var called x, if x is set to 1 then the frame expands and the scrollbars show up correctly but they don't work, if set to 0 the scrollbars work but the frame does not expand. I need the scrollbars to work if x is set to 1 or 0. You will need to resize the window to see this issue, notice that the separator widget expands to fill the frame but the scrollbars don't scroll anything when x is set to 1.
I'm just about there I have it working 99% just one little glitch. The separator widget does not expand to fill the content frame when the window height is shorter then the content and the window width is wider then content. I have updated the code and added background color to highlight the issue.

It is perfectly normal that the scrollbars only work with canvas.create_window() since this is the adequate method to display a widget inside a canvas so that the canvas is aware of the widget's size. Otherwise you are just using the canvas as a frame. However, the canvas.create_window() method does not have a sticky option so you have to manually change the width of the widget when the canvas changes size.
Therefore, in your update_canvas callback, you need to change the width of the window each time the canvas changes width if the canvas's width is larger than the content's required width:
def update_canvas(event):
# if the new canvas's width (event.width) is larger than the content's
# minimum width (content.winfo_reqwidth()) then make canvas.frame the
# same width as the canvas
if event.width > content.winfo_reqwidth():
canvas.itemconfigure(self.window, width=event.width)
Moreover there are a few useless lines in your code, in particular you don't have to grid canvas.frame since you display it with canvas.create_window(), see below:

I'm creating a game, and I am using tkinter to build the GUI.
In this game, I want the user to start with a window, filled by a Canvas, with an image as background, and some buttons in some sort of item windows. And this Canvas is the home Canvas of the game.
The problem is that I want the user to click on a Button to land on other Canvas, who will host other things like the map or others buttons for others actions. Actually, I would like to superimpose several canvas (as in the Z-index method), and put a canvas on the top of the list, when I want it (if I click on a button for example).
I already searched and I had to change my mind several times, and now I really don't know how to do it.
I find the following code here on Stack Overflow, but it is coded for Python 2 (I think), and I'm starting coding in Python 3, so I am not able to translate it to Python 3 and solve my problem.
import Tkinter as tk
class SampleApp(tk.Tk):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
tk.Tk.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
self.frame = tk.Frame(self)
self.frame.pack(side="top", fill="both", expand=True)
self.label = tk.Label(self, text="Hello, world")
button1 = tk.Button(self, text="Click to hide label",
command=self.hide_label)
button2 = tk.Button(self, text="Click to show label",
command=self.show_label)
self.label.pack(in_=self.frame)
button1.pack(in_=self.frame)
button2.pack(in_=self.frame)
def show_label(self, event=None):
self.label.lift(self.frame)
def hide_label(self, event=None):
self.label.lower(self.frame)
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = SampleApp()
app.mainloop()
My code using grid :
from tkinter import *
fenetre = Tk()
fenetre.title(my game)
# acceuil
# variable acceuil
largeur = 700
hauteur = 430
BG_acceuil = PhotoImage(file="BG_acceuil.gif")
acceuil = Canvas(fenetre, width=largeur, height=hauteur)
acceuil.create_image(0, 0, anchor=NW, image=BG_acceuil)
acceuil.grid(row=0)
acceuil.pack()
# fond
fond = PhotoImage(file="BG_acceuil.gif")
acceuil2 = Canvas(fenetre, width=largeur, height=hauteur)
acceuil2.create_image(0, 0, anchor=NW, image=fond)
acceuil2.pack()
# variable bt_jouer
x0 = 80
y0 = 230
class hide_me():
def hide_me(event, widget, pos):
widget.grid_forget()
def show_me(event, widget, pos):
widget.grid(row=pos)
# Boutton jouer
BT_jouer = Button(acceuil, text="Jouer", command=hide_me())
BT_jouer.configure(width=10, activebackground="#33B5E5", relief=GROOVE)
BT_jouer_window = acceuil.create_window(x0, y0, window=BT_jouer,)
BT_jouer.bind('<Button-1>', lambda event: hide_me(event, BT_jouer, 1))
BT_jouer.grid(row=1)
# Bouton règle
BT_regle = Button(acceuil2, text="Règles", command=fenetre.destroy)
BT_regle.configure(width=10, activebackground="#33B5E5", relief=FLAT, bd=0)
BT_regle_window = acceuil2.create_window(x0, y0 + 50, window=BT_regle)
# Boutton quitter
BT_quit = Button(acceuil, text="Quitter", command=fenetre.destroy)
BT_quit.configure(width=10, activebackground="#33B5E5", relief=FLAT)
BT_quit_window = acceuil.create_window(x0, y0 + 100, window=BT_quit)
fenetre.mainloop()
The answer is very easy: To convert to Python3, change Tkinter to tkinter, and it works!
import tkinter as tk
class SampleApp(tk.Tk):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
tk.Tk.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
self.frame = tk.Frame(self)
self.frame.pack(side="top", fill="both", expand=True)
self.label = tk.Label(self, text="Hello, world")
button1 = tk.Button(self, text="Click to hide label",
command=self.hide_label)
button2 = tk.Button(self, text="Click to show label",
command=self.show_label)
self.label.pack(in_=self.frame)
button1.pack(in_=self.frame)
button2.pack(in_=self.frame)
def show_label(self, event=None):
self.label.lift(self.frame)
def hide_label(self, event=None):
self.label.lower(self.frame)
def main():
app = SampleApp()
app.mainloop()
return 0
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
Note: You are not really hiding the label - it still occupies space on the canvas. The following code, from this entry, really removes the item. It can then be recalled with a pack() call:
from Tkinter import *
def hide_me(event):
event.widget.pack_forget()
root = Tk()
btn=Button(root, text="Click")
btn.bind('<Button-1>', hide_me)
btn.pack()
btn2=Button(root, text="Click too")
btn2.bind('<Button-1>', hide_me)
btn2.pack()
root.mainloop()
I did some testing, and made an equivalent program to yours... The only problem is that the unhidden widget is always packed at the end:
from tkinter import *
def hide_me(event, widget):
widget.pack_forget()
def show_me(event, widget):
widget.pack()
root = Tk()
lbl = Label(root, text="Victim")
btn = Button(root, text="Hide the victim")
btn.bind('<Button-1>', lambda event: hide_me(event, lbl))
btn.pack()
btn2 = Button(root, text="Show the victim")
btn2.bind('<Button-1>', lambda event: show_me(event, lbl))
btn2.pack()
lbl.pack()
root.mainloop()
A better version uses the grid() packer. Here you can actually restore the 'forgotten' widget to its original position. Only slightly more complicated :)
from tkinter import *
def hide_me(event, widget, pos):
widget.grid_forget()
def show_me(event, widget, pos):
widget.grid(row = pos)
root = Tk()
lbl = Label(root, text="Victim")
lbl.grid(row = 0)
btn = Button(root, text="Hide the victim")
btn.bind('<Button-1>', lambda event: hide_me(event, lbl, 0))
btn.grid(row = 1)
btn2 = Button(root, text="Show the victim")
btn2.bind('<Button-1>', lambda event: show_me(event, lbl, 0))
btn2.grid(row = 2)
root.mainloop()
EDIT: Another observation from the comments: Bryan Oakley commented that if you use .grid_remove() instead of .grid_forget(), then the coordinates will not be lost, and a simple .grid() will restore the widget at its location.
My objective is to add a vertical scroll bar to a frame which has several labels in it. The scroll bar should automatically enabled as soon as the labels inside the frame exceed the height of the frame. After searching through, I found this useful post. Based on that post I understand that in order to achieve what i want, (correct me if I am wrong, I am a beginner) I have to create a Frame first, then create a Canvas inside that frame and stick the scroll bar to that frame as well. After that, create another frame and put it inside the canvas as a window object. So, I finally come up with this:
from Tkinter import *
def data():
for i in range(50):
Label(frame,text=i).grid(row=i,column=0)
Label(frame,text="my text"+str(i)).grid(row=i,column=1)
Label(frame,text="..........").grid(row=i,column=2)
def myfunction(event):
canvas.configure(scrollregion=canvas.bbox("all"),width=200,height=200)
root=Tk()
sizex = 800
sizey = 600
posx = 100
posy = 100
root.wm_geometry("%dx%d+%d+%d" % (sizex, sizey, posx, posy))
myframe=Frame(root,relief=GROOVE,width=50,height=100,bd=1)
myframe.place(x=10,y=10)
canvas=Canvas(myframe)
frame=Frame(canvas)
myscrollbar=Scrollbar(myframe,orient="vertical",command=canvas.yview)
canvas.configure(yscrollcommand=myscrollbar.set)
myscrollbar.pack(side="right",fill="y")
canvas.pack(side="left")
canvas.create_window((0,0),window=frame,anchor='nw')
frame.bind("<Configure>",myfunction)
data()
root.mainloop()
Am I doing it right? Is there better/smarter way to achieve the output this code gave me?
Why must I use grid method? (I tried place method, but none of the labels appear on the canvas.)
What so special about using anchor='nw' when creating window on canvas?
Please keep your answer simple, as I am a beginner.

It does not yet have the mouse wheel bound to the scrollbar but it is possible. Scrolling with the wheel can get a bit bumpy, though.
edit:
to 1)
IMHO scrolling frames is somewhat tricky in Tkinter and does not seem to be done a lot. It seems there is no elegant way to do it.
One problem with your code is that you have to set the canvas size manually - that's what the example code I posted solves.
to 2)
You are talking about the data function? Place works for me, too. (In general I prefer grid).
to 3)
Well, it positions the window on the canvas.
One thing I noticed is that your example handles mouse wheel scrolling by default while the one I posted does not. Will have to look at that some time.
"Am i doing it right?Is there better/smarter way to achieve the output this code gave me?"
Generally speaking, yes, you're doing it right. Tkinter has no native scrollable container other than the canvas. As you can see, it's really not that difficult to set up. As your example shows, it only takes 5 or 6 lines of code to make it work -- depending on how you count lines.
"Why must i use grid method?(i tried place method, but none of the labels appear on the canvas?)"
You ask about why you must use grid. There is no requirement to use grid. Place, grid and pack can all be used. It's simply that some are more naturally suited to particular types of problems. In this case it looks like you're creating an actual grid -- rows and columns of labels -- so grid is the natural choice.
"What so special about using anchor='nw' when creating window on canvas?"
The anchor tells you what part of the window is positioned at the coordinates you give. By default, the center of the window will be placed at the coordinate. In the case of your code above, you want the upper left ("northwest") corner to be at the coordinate.
Please see my class that is a scrollable frame. It's vertical scrollbar is binded to <Mousewheel> event as well. So, all you have to do is to create a frame, fill it with widgets the way you like, and then make this frame a child of my ScrolledWindow.scrollwindow. Feel free to ask if something is unclear.

We can add scroll bar even without using Canvas. I have read it in many other post we can't add vertical scroll bar in frame directly etc etc. But after doing many experiment found out way to add vertical as well as horizontal scroll bar :). Please find below code which is used to create scroll bar in treeView and frame.
f = Tkinter.Frame(self.master,width=3)
f.grid(row=2, column=0, columnspan=8, rowspan=10, pady=30, padx=30)
f.config(width=5)
self.tree = ttk.Treeview(f, selectmode="extended")
scbHDirSel =tk.Scrollbar(f, orient=Tkinter.HORIZONTAL, command=self.tree.xview)
scbVDirSel =tk.Scrollbar(f, orient=Tkinter.VERTICAL, command=self.tree.yview)
self.tree.configure(yscrollcommand=scbVDirSel.set, xscrollcommand=scbHDirSel.set)
self.tree["columns"] = (self.columnListOutput)
self.tree.column("#0", width=40)
self.tree.heading("#0", text='SrNo', anchor='w')

It is nessesery to configure Scrollbar in case of using with Canvas
by sending to Canvas xscrollcommand attribute Scrollbar.set method and
to Scrollbar command attribute Canvas.yview (xview) method.
Canvas.yview method after scrollbar was moved recieve *args in next formatting:
tuple('move_to', '<some_absolute_float_value_of_top_of_scrollbar_region>')
In case of implementing scrollability to widget,
Recieving region and translating scrollbar_region (whith element viewable and whith not) features must be created.
Region is `tuple(float, float)' representing open to see part of all elements.
Not ideal bechavior showed in this solution (without using tk.Canvas)

The items inner the frame can use pack or grid (only choose one), but place cannot be used alone. If you want to use place, you need to expand the layout(height) with pack or grid first.
import tkinter as tk
root = tk.Tk()
root.title("音樂編輯器")
root.geometry("600x480")
def onFrameConfigure(canvas):
'''Reset the scroll region to encompass the inner frame'''
canvas.configure(scrollregion=canvas.bbox("all"))
canvas.itemconfigure(wrapFrame, width=canvas.winfo_width())
canvas = tk.Canvas(root, highlightthickness=0)
frame = tk.Frame(canvas, background="#FFFFFF")
vsb = tk.Scrollbar(root, orient="vertical", command=canvas.yview)
canvas.configure(yscrollcommand=vsb.set)
vsb.pack(side="right", fill="y")
canvas.pack(fill="both", expand=1, anchor="nw")
wrapFrame = canvas.create_window((0,0), window=frame, anchor="nw")
canvas.bind("<Configure>", lambda event, canvas=canvas: onFrameConfigure(canvas))

Use mouse wheel:

#only care event.delta is - or +, scroll down or up
if event.delta<0:
canvas.yview_scroll(scale, "units")
else:
canvas.yview_scroll(-scale, "units")
canvas = tk.Canvas(root, highlightthickness=0)
frame = tk.Frame(canvas, background="#FFFFFF")
vsb = tk.Scrollbar(root, orient="vertical", command=canvas.yview)
canvas.configure(yscrollcommand=vsb.set)
vsb.pack(side="right", fill="y")
canvas.pack(fill="both", expand=1, anchor="nw")
wrapFrame = canvas.create_window((0,0), window=frame, anchor="nw")
canvas.bind("<Configure>", lambda event, canvas=canvas: onFrameConfigure(canvas))
canvas.bind("<Enter>", lambda event: canvas.bind_all("<MouseWheel>", on_mouse_wheel)) # on mouse enter

Not 100% sure if this solution is on topic (since it explicitely asks for a scrollable FRAME), but the text widget is basically a scrollable Frame.
From documentation of the Text widget:
"Like canvas widgets, text widgets can contain images and any other Tk widgets (including frames containing many other widgets). In a sense, this allows the text widget to work as a geometry manager in its own right. "
Text widgets are very easy to use, and can be made scrollable. So instead of using a special Class like the Scrollable Frame, I think the Text widget is a great option.
Below my code, for a basic example of a scrollable text widget holding 100 buttons:
from tkinter import Tk, Button, Text,Scrollbar
class test:
def __init__(self):
self.win = Tk()
text = Text(self.win, width=40, height=10, wrap = "none")
ys = Scrollbar(self.win, orient = 'vertical', command = text.yview)
text['yscrollcommand'] = ys.set
text.grid(column = 0, row = 0, sticky = 'nwes')
ys.grid(column = 1, row = 0, sticky = 'ns')
for x in range(1,100):
b = Button(text, text='Push Me')
text.window_create("end", window=b)
text.insert("end",'\n')
self.win.mainloop()
test = test()
This is at least the method I am going to use for my scrollable frames. Not sure if there is a better solution then the newline insertion to make the widgets organised vertically. But it works.
