      thanks a lot!!zentara.. I have used the second approach in my application.. But still have some problems..See the Code snippet below:- 
      my $spane = $mw->Pane(-bg => "orange")->pack(-expand => 1, -fill => 'b
+oth')
 my $scrl_y = $mw -> Scrollbar(-command=>[$spane,'yview']);
        $spane -> configure(-yscrollcommand=>[$scrl_y,'set']);
        $spane -> pack(-expand => 1, -fill => "both",
            -side => "left");
        $scrl_y -> pack(-expand => 1, -fill => "y");
#$spane -> focus;
$scrl_y -> focus;

      HERE both of the above approaches ($spane -> focus; ,$scrl_y -> focus; ) are not making scrollbar as a default focus. Please help!! Thanks in Advance

        I said earlier manual scrollbars are a PITA, :-( The Scrolled Pane works pretty well, maybe instead of making your own scrollbars, get them from a Scrolled Pane. Try making a Scrolled('Pane'), then extract the scrollbars with $yscrollbar = $spane->Subwidget('yscrollbar'); and same for x.

        If that dosn't work, post a complete minimal code example of what you are trying, and maybe someone will spot a way to make it work.

    There is no such concept in Tk. You can however bind tabs like all other keys.
