DESCRIPTION
The scrolledframe combines the functionallity of scrolling with that of a typical frame widget to
implement a clipable viewing area whose visible region may be modified with the scroll bars. This enables
the contruction of visually larger areas than which could normally be displayed, containing a
heterogenous mix of other widgets. Options exist which allow full control over which scrollbars are
displayed and the method, i.e. statically or dynamically. The frame itself may be accessed by the
childsite method and then filled with other widget combinations.
METHODS
The iwidgets::scrolledframe command creates a new Tcl command whose name is pathName. This command may
be used to invoke various operations on the widget. It has the following general form: pathName option
?arg arg ...? Option and the args determine the exact behavior of the command. The following commands
are possible for scrolledframe widgets:
ASSOCIATED METHODS
xview yview
See the "canvas" manual entry for details on the associated methods.
WIDGET-SPECIFIC METHODS
pathName cget option
Returns the current value of the configuration option given by option. Option may have any of the
values accepted by the iwidgets::scrolledframe command.
pathName childsite
Return the path name of the child site.
pathName configure ?option? ?value option value ...?
Query or modify the configuration options of the widget. If no option is specified, returns a
list describing all of the available options for pathName (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for information on
the format of this list). If option is specified with no value, then the command returns a list
describing the one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding sublist of the
value returned if no option is specified). If one or more option-value pairs are specified, then
the command modifies the given widget option(s) to have the given value(s); in this case the
command returns an empty string. Option may have any of the values accepted by the
iwidgets::scrolledframe command.
pathName justify direction
Justifies the frame contents via the scroll bars in one of four directions: left, right, top, or
bottom.
