Hello Everyone. 

 

I am trying to create a scrollbar for list of labels using HWTK gui. But I am unable to do connect the scrollbar to label list. Is there a way to do it. Please see I dont want to use listbox as I have combobox in my window also. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

    Use text box you can embed any label, button, etc...

    Hwtk textbox is designed with auto-scrollbars, you don't need to connect them to textbox any more

    Example:

     

    set t .labelList.text

    #create a text as label list:

    hwtk::text .labelList

    #add labels

    for {set i 1} {$i<100} {incr i} {

         label $t.lbl$i -text Label$i

         $t window create end -window $t.lbl$i

    }

    $t configure -state disabled

    #pack it into your frame

    pack .labelList -in .yourFrame

    Thank you very much for your quick response and I apologies in my delay in replying as I was caught up with something else. Can I embed  combobox in textbox? I will try it. But I did manage to figure out a solution for my problem by embedding list of combobox(s) in a canvas and attaching scrollbar to it. If I can do it in hwtk text box then it would reduce my code length. 

     

    Thanks again for your reply.
