Using Scrolled Text Widget in Python GUI Application

Intro

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

#Create Scrolled Text widget in Python GUI Application
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk
from tkinter import scrolledtext
win = tk.Tk()
win.title("Python GUI App")
ttk.Label(win, text="This is Scrolled Text Area").grid(column=0,row=0)
#Create Scrolled Text
scrolW=30
scrolH=2
scr=scrolledtext.ScrolledText(win, width=scrolW, height=scrolH, wrap=tk.WORD)
scr.grid(column=0, columnspan=3)
#Calling Main()
win.mainloop()

About the code

• First, I am importing the tkinter modules.
• Next, I assign a class and variables and give application title.
• Next, Icreate the scrolled text area.
• Finally, I have started the Windows event loop by calling the mainloop method.
• And, I execute the code.
