Hello everybody.
I use this script and it works good.
But, i don't know how to do Frame(body) more bigger by vertically.
Could somebody help me? Rolleyes Rolleyes Rolleyes

       Make a frame scrollable with scrollbar on the right.

    def __init__(self, frame, width=16):

        scrollbar = tk.Scrollbar(frame, width=width)
        scrollbar.pack(side=tk.RIGHT, fill=tk.Y)#, expand=False)

        self.canvas = tk.Canvas(frame, yscrollcommand=scrollbar.set)
        self.canvas.pack(side=tk.LEFT, fill=tk.BOTH, expand=True)

scrollable_body.update()

root.mainloop()
first, since you are inheriting tk.Frame, I'd move the initialization of that as the first item in init, and don't pass frame to init, rather use:
Note that I added defaults for width, height and title
import tkinter as tk


class GuiClass(tk.Tk):
    def __init__(self):
        tk.Tk.__init__(self)
        app=Application(self, width=1200, height=800, title="MySizedFrame")
        app.mainloop()

class Application(tk.Frame):    
    def __init__(self, parent, width=800, height=600, title="No Title"):
        tk.Frame.__init__(self, parent)
        # parent needs to be larger than frame, to accomidate scrollbar
        parent.geometry(f"{width+25}x{height+25}")
        self.configure(width=width)
        self.configure(height=height)
        parent.title(title)
        self.grid(sticky='nsew')
        self.add_widgets(self, width, height)
    
    def add_widgets(self, parent, width, height):
        scrollbar = tk.Scrollbar(parent)
        scrollbar.pack(side=tk.RIGHT, fill=tk.Y, expand=True)

        self.canvas = tk.Canvas(parent, bd=5, width=width, height=height, yscrollcommand=scrollbar.set)
        self.canvas.pack(side=tk.LEFT, fill=tk.BOTH, expand=True)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    GuiClass()

Larz60+, thank you Shy
I used "tkscrolledframe"
from tkscrolledframe import ScrolledFrame
It's easier, i think
