So, I've been looking into Prima as a replacement for Gtk2, and I'm liking it pretty well, but I'm having a terrible time trying to figure out how to replace Gtk2::ScrolledWindow.

I've looked at the Prima perl source on Github, searched and search with my favorite search engine, and done some experimentation, but I haven't been able to figure it out.

Is there a primer somewhere on adding scrollbars to a widget (and making it clip), or am I just not understanding one of the builtin widgets that will Just Work for this (and if so, how do I call it, because my trial and error on that has not yielded anything but vague error messages)?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

If desired, I can post the code for my latest failed attempt, but I didn't want to waste time/space here if the case was that I need to use one of the built-ins.

ETA: Seems I can make a TabbedScrollNotebook, but I have to make sure I "use Prima::ScrollWidget" myself, which wasn't clear from the documentation or the error message I was getting when I tried to just make one.

Now, if I can just figure out how to get the scroll area to move the scrollbar on mouse wheel, I'll be a happy camper.
