I am in need of a Tkx equivalent of the Tk "Scrolled" object, as I am converting a program that used the old Perl/Tk library. Basically I need something where scrollbars allow me view a larger collection of widgets than I can otherwise -- an actual scrollable frame. The current Tkx examples I have seen so far have only worked for attaching scrollbars to text,canvas,tree, or list. Here is the code I wish to revise up to Tkx:

$data_pane = $mw->Scrolled(Pane,
Name => 'Data',
-scrollbars => 'osoe',
-sticky => 'n',
-width => $mw_min_width,
);

I hope you guys can help me. Information of this sort on the Tkx library has been sparse.

What I did try was using a "scrolledwindow" holding a "scrollableframe" (an idea I got from a tcl forum), but as of yet it does not function correctly. Perl doesn't complain, but no scrollbars appear.

I can't find a list of the options for scrolledwindow and scrollableframe anywhere on the web. If I am configuring things wrong I am at a dead end.

If anybody can post a complete working example of a Tkx equivalent of my $data_pane defined above, I'd be very appreciative.

Oh, and I also want to add my voice to those calling for a specific Tkx forum here on the ActiveState site.
