in reply to TK Placing Widgets in a Scrolling Pane

Here's my guess for what I think you are saying you want.
Whether it's actually what you want ???

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Tk; use Tk::Pane; my $mw = MainWindow->new; $mw->geometry('400x250'); my $frame = $mw->Frame( -bg => 'lavender', -relief => 'sunken', -width => 400, -height => 250, )->pack(-expand => 1, -fill => 'both'); my $pane = $frame->Scrolled( Pane => -scrollbars => 'e', -sticky => 'n +sew', )->place( -x => 50, -y => 12, -width => 200, -height => 200); my @strings2 = qw/apples bananas pears grapes/ x 5; $pane->Checkbutton(-text => $_, -anchor => 'w', )->pack(-fill => 'x') for @strings2; MainLoop();
