MRAB,
Thank you, I will.
Each time I add a row to the contacts database table I include a note of
what was discussed and what needs to be done. I'd like to be able to see the
entire note with each contact event.
I'm not committed to using a table so I'm totally open to other approaches.
My needs are few:
- The returned results are read-only.
- The number of rows returned are variable.
- Each row has a contact date, contact type, note, and next contact date.
The last one isn't necessary to be displayed, but the first three are.
- I want to be able to scroll and view all returned rows.
The note could be displayed partially in the column itself, with the
full text displayed either in read-only textbox nearby when the row is
selected (and it's the only selected row), or in the form of a tooltip
when you hover over it.
There's an example of how to show a tooltip here:

As with the tkinter.Text widget, you'll need to add the scrollbar(s)
separately and then link them.
This I expected.
