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.
