Ron -- Thanks, I thought I was doing about what you describe, but apparently not as the tk attribute for the class objects is not getting set up. I'm a bit hazy on what the tk attribute does (other than making things work) and can't find much about it via Google. I'll go back and subclass from frame rather than trying to multiply inherit from Frame, List, and Scrollbar.
Peter -- Thanks also. I was aware of the PMW scrolledlist. And it works fine. But I don't want to use any components that are not part of the standard Python distribution. Should have mentioned that, but the post was getting overlong. === As a practical matter, I discovered after I posted, that I can access my frame, list (and probably scrollbar as well) methods from the main program via their objects. That is to say that the way I did it, a scrolled list object sl doesn't have a directly usable grid or insert method, but sl.f.grid(... or sl.l.insert seem to work fine. What bothers me, isn't that I can't get things to work. It's that I clearly don't understand what is going on. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Creating-a-new-widget-class-tp18802754p18846448.html Sent from the Python - tkinter-discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Tkinter-discuss mailing list Tkinter-discuss@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tkinter-discuss
