}
# called by the scroll bar
proc yview {args} {
eval [linsert $args 0 .f.lb1 yview]
eval [linsert $args 0 .f.lb2 yview]
}Or rewritten to use {*}:
# called by a listbox
proc yset {args} {
.f.sb set {*}$args
yview moveto [lindex [.f.sb get] 0]
}
# called by the scroll bar
proc yview {args} {
.f.lb1 yview {*}$args
.f.lb2 yview {*}$args
}JMD, 2006-06-13, Just to clarify, this technique does work with other widgets, such as horizontally scrolling a text box and an entry field (using xview and xset, of course).
ulis, 2003-08-05: Better to have the selection synchronized.
