- Searched main docs for your problem www.PySimpleGUI.org
- Looked for Demo Programs that are similar to your goal Demos.PySimpleGUI.org
- If not tkinter - looked for Demo Programs for specific port
- For non tkinter - Looked at readme for your specific port if not PySimpleGUI (Qt, WX, Remi)
- Run your program outside of your debugger (from a command line)
- Searched through Issues (open and closed) to see if already reported Issues.PySimpleGUI.org
- Tried using the PySimpleGUI.py file on GitHub. Your problem may have already been fixed but not released
Detailed Description
I'm trying to use the set_vscroll_position() in order to ease the user navigation in a column containing lots of rows full with input boxes but it keeps firing the following warnings and does not work:
Warning setting the vertical scroll (yview_moveto failed)
'TkScrollableFrame' object has no attribute 'yview_moveto'
My Code
This program is creating a window which contains a column that has a pre determined layout containing all the mentioned input boxes and a pre determined sizes.
in addition there are the discussed buttons inside.
Code To Duplicate
form = sg.Window('analysis').Layout([
[sg.Column(layout, size=(width / 3, height / 2), scrollable=True, key = "Column")],
[sg.OK(), sg.Button('Up', key = "up"), sg.Button('Down', key = "down")]
])
while True:
event, values = form.read()
if(event == sg.WIN_CLOSED):
break
elif(event == "down"):
form.Element('Column').set_vscroll_position(1.0)
elif(event == "up"):
form.Element('Column').set_vscroll_position(0.0)
