Hello,

I'm designing a dialogue window that should display values of a number of parameters from a number of experiments. The layout is firstly a frame to the left in the window that contains the names of all parameters. Then there is a second frame (to the right of the first one) in which the values of the parameters for each experiment are displayed.

Since the number of experiments are variable I would like to have a horizontal scrolling function of the frame containing the parameter values. How can I do this? I tried to connect a scrollbar to the frame (ttk__frame) in the same way as one can do to a listbox but this does not work. I guess that a frame is not a scrollable widget then. So my question is if there is some appropriate widget that can be used here, that in fact is scrollable?

I'm using ActivePerl 5.10 on WinXP and I have been writing my interface using Perl tkx.

Thank you in advance!
