How do I add Listbox as a panedWindow Tkinter GUI?

Question

Can someone show me how I can add a listbox to panedWindow?

Take this code for example: can the left-hand window be made into a listbox?

from tkinter import *

m1 = PanedWindow()
m1.pack(fill=BOTH, expand=1)

left = Entry(m1, bd=5)
m1.add(left)

m2 = PanedWindow(m1, orient=VERTICAL)
m1.add(m2)

top = Scale( m2, orient=HORIZONTAL)
m2.add(top)

bottom = Button(m2, text="OK")
m2.add(bottom)

mainloop()

Can someone show me how I can add a listbox to "paneWindow"?

Take this code as an example: can the left-hand window be made into a listbox?

The problem can be fixed.

Don't use a wildcard. Use this import tkinter as tk. Then use tk. prefix.

I added some colors. So you can see panedWindow adjustment.

• Add StringVar()
• Add Listbox widget.

The red color is the Entry widget

The green color is the Listbox.

The aqua color is the Scale widget.

The orange color is the Button widget

You're ready to go.

Snippet re-modified.

import tkinter as tk

mainWindow = tk.Tk()

mainWindow.title("PanedWindow Example")
mainWindow.geometry('350x200')

variable_string = tk.StringVar()
variable_string.set('This is left Entry')

m1 = tk.PanedWindow(mainWindow, orient=tk.HORIZONTAL)
m1.pack(fill=tk.BOTH, expand=1)

label = tk.Entry(m1, textvariable=variable_string, bg="red", bd=5)
m1.add(label, stretch="always")

lstbox = tk.Listbox(m1,  bg="green")
m1.add(lstbox, stretch="always")

m2 = tk.PanedWindow(m1, orient=tk.VERTICAL)
m1.add(m2, stretch="never")

topScale = tk.Scale(m2, orient=tk.HORIZONTAL, bg='aqua')
m2.add(topScale)

bottom =  tk.Button(m2, text="OK", bg='orange')
m2.add(bottom)

mainWindow.mainloop()
