[PD] Scrolllbar/dropdown list. Was: : Fixed: menubutton bug ...

[Fred Jan Kraan]

Hi Ingo,

A lot is possible, as Tk commands are created and executed. But do I 
understand correctly, you want a menu-dropdown list with a scrollbar? 
Your application is probably not a menu, but I would think selecting 
from a 128 or 256 items-list would call for a different GUI solution.

But I can look into it to see what is possible with Tk. Don't hold your 
breath and make sure to look for alternative solutions (like 
jmmmp/cellblock?).

Greetings,

Fred Jan
