Member Avatar for i are smart

i just started learning GUI, and i made my first graphic interface using the tkinter module, but as information is piled up and goes beyond the window's dimensions, i need those scroll bars to up and down

effbot's tutorial turns up as the first hit for a Google of "tkinter scrollbars". Since we don't know what you want to attach it to, effbot would be the place to start. This is effbot's code for a canvas widget as an example.

from Tkinter import *

root = Tk()
frame = Frame(root, bd=2, relief=SUNKEN)

frame.grid_rowconfigure(0, weight=1)
frame.grid_columnconfigure(0, weight=1)

xscrollbar = Scrollbar(frame, orient=HORIZONTAL)
xscrollbar.grid(row=1, column=0, sticky=E+W)

yscrollbar = Scrollbar(frame)
yscrollbar.grid(row=0, column=1, sticky=N+S)

canvas = Canvas(frame, bd=0,
                xscrollcommand=xscrollbar.set,
                yscrollcommand=yscrollbar.set)

canvas.grid(row=0, column=0, sticky=N+S+E+W)

xscrollbar.config(command=canvas.xview)
yscrollbar.config(command=canvas.yview)

frame.pack()

root.mainloop()
