I have been trying to attach a horizontal and vertical scrollbar for the tkinter treeview. In my main application all the data comes from a sql database so I need to be able to scroll through lots of data within a sperate window. I have managed to place the treeview within the child window, however I am still stuck on how to attach scrollbars that work.
Although there is a vertical scrollbar at the moment it doesn't seem to be attached to the treeview and does not scroll through any data that I input.
Is there a way of putting vertical and horizontal scrollbars within my application?
