Hello, I use a text winget, when the window is full how to automatically scroll the text upwards to see the last line displayed.

Example.

from tkinter import *  
 
root = Tk()         
root.geometry('180x120')
 
texte =  "***Pret***\n"
## winget texte
Console = Text(root,height=5, width=20, wrap='word',)
Console.place(x = 0, y = 0)
## Ajout du texte
Console.insert(END, texte)
for i in range (20):
    print("Texte : ",i)
    Console.insert(END, "Texte : "),Console.insert(END, i),Console.insert(END, "\n")

In the window the display stops at "Texte : 3", to see "Texte : 19", I have to scroll the text with the mouse wheel.

I would like the last line to always be visible.

Do you have an idea.

Cordially.
Marc.

I use scrolling on text widget in this app: https://python-forum.io/Thread-Show-Inst...ht=tkinter
This was written a few years back, but concept is the same today.

Thank you for your answer, I am a beginner in Python, it will not be easy to understand your procedure.

Just search for the parts with word 'scroll' in them.

Hi Marc

Try out the following snippet:

from tkinter import *  
  
root = Tk()         
root.geometry('180x120')
  
texte =  "***Pret***\n"
## winget texte
Console = Text(root,height=5, width=20, wrap='word',)
Console.place(x = 0, y = 0)
## Ajout du texte
Console.insert(END, texte)
for i in range (20):
    print("Texte : ",i)
    Console.insert(END, "Texte : "),Console.insert(END, i),Console.insert(END, "\n")
Console.see(END)
root.mainloop()

wuf :-)

Thanks a lot for your help.
This is exactly what I was looking for.
Cordially.
