How to add a scroll bar to a text box

Question

I am trying to add a scroll bar to a text box which makes up part of my GUI.

So far I have made the text box and (i think) the scroll bar but dont know how to combine the two items.

textBox_1 = Text(myGUI).place(x=75, y=300)
scroll_1 = Scrollbar(myGUI)
scroll_1.configure()

Answer 1

应该：

textbox_1.config(yscrollcommand=scroll_1.set)

Answer 2

When using Tkinter , no matter what geometry manager you're using, you need to create your widget and use the geometry manager on separate lines if you want to keep a reference to the Widget. In other words, Widget.place returns None (as does Widget.pack and Widget.grid ).

textBox_1 = Text(myGUI)
textBox_1.place(x=75, y=300)
scroll_1 = Scrollbar(myGUI)
textbox_1.config(yscrollcommand=scroll_1.set)

Answer 3

There are two steps that you need to take: you need to connect the scrollbar to the widget, and you need to connect the widget to the scrollbar. For example:

textBox_1 = Text(...)
scroll_1 = Scrollbar(...)
textBox_1.configure(yscrollcommand=scroll_1.set)
scroll_1.configure(command=textBox_1.yview)

Also, I notice that you called place as part of widget creation. You cannot do that. When you do Text(...).place(...) it stores the result of place in textbox_1 , not the result of Text(...) . Plus, it's just easier to maintain your code when the layout is separate from widget creation.
