Using Scrolled Text Widget in Python GUI Application

Introduction

 
In this blog, I am going to create a Scrolled Text widget in a Python GUI application. It will display the scrolled text area on the application screen.
 
Software requirement
 
Python 3.5 and IDLE (Python 3.5)
 
Programming code
  1. #Create Scrolled Text widget in Python GUI Application  
  2. import tkinter as tk  
  3. from tkinter import ttk  
  4. from tkinter import scrolledtext  
  5. win = tk.Tk()  
  6. win.title("Python GUI App")  
  7. ttk.Label(win, text="This is Scrolled Text Area").grid(column=0,row=0)  
  8. #Create Scrolled Text  
  9. scrolW=30  
  10. scrolH=2  
  11. scr=scrolledtext.ScrolledText(win, width=scrolW, height=scrolH, wrap=tk.WORD)  
  12. scr.grid(column=0, columnspan=3)  
  13. #Calling Main()  
  14. win.mainloop()  
About the code
  • First, I am importing the tkinter modules.
  • Next, I assign a class and variables and give the application title.
  • Next, I created the scrolled text area.
  • Finally, I have started the Windows event loop by calling the mainloop method.
  • And, I execute the code.
