Thanks for the hint, Jason! But I am still struggling.

Your example works fine. But it covers only a single text widget. I am trying to scroll a collection of widgets, like this:

(defun scrolltest () (with-ltk () (let* ((root (make-instance 'frame)) (button-list (make-instance 'listbox :master root)) (scrollbar (make-instance 'scrollbar :master root :orientation :vertical)) (quit-button (make-instance 'button :master root :text "Quit" :command (lambda () (setf *exit-mainloop* t)))))

  (pack root :side :top)
  (pack quit-button :side :bottom :pady 10)
  (pack button-list :side :left)
  (pack scrollbar :side :left :expand t :fill :y)

  (configure scrollbar "command"
             (format nil "~a yview" (widget-path button-list)))

  (configure button-list :yscrollcommand
             (format nil "~a set" (widget-path scrollbar)))

  (dolist (button-number '(1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0))
    (let ((b (make-instance 'button
                            :master button-list
                            :text button-number
                            :command (lambda ()
                                       (format t "~a~%"

button-number))))) (pack b :side :top :anchor :w))))))

The widgets simply don't seem to be connected :-(

I have also tried with a frame instead of a listbox, but frames don't seem to support the yscrollcommand.

After having a closer look at your code it appears to me that this is pretty much nonsense what you're trying there.

A listbox widget is meant to manage _text_ items that are displayed as a vertical list inside the widget.

A listbox widget is *not* meant to contain buttons. A listbox widget *cannot* scroll buttons.

What exactly are you trying to achive with this code?

Probably we can find a different solution, but I haven't understood what exactly is the desired purpose.
