Hello Perlmonks,

I would like to have a resizable listbox in Tkx, but I cannot get it working.
The problem is that the button resizes, not the listbox. If I remove the button, the listbox resizes.
What needs to be done to resize the listbox in the vertical direction?
//careful configure was the answer//
Thank you all

    -text        => "frame",
    -labelanchor => 'nw'

my $b = $f->new_ttk__button(
    -text    => "button",

   $l->insert("end", "$i: this is a very long line $i  of 10");
 }
