[Tkinter-discuss] Newbie's Scrollbar question

I had to do this recently where one scroll bar needed to control two canvases. The trick is to create a function which accepts info from the scrollbar and then propagates it to the widgets to be scrolled. Some snippets from my code:
hscroll = Scrollbar(FF,orient=HORIZONTAL,command=Propagator)
def Propagator(*Args):
"""
Propagate position commands to more than one canvas.
"""
for C in MyCanvases:
C.xview(*Args)
Where "MyCanvases" is a list of the objects (in my case, Canvases) which need to scroll in response to changes in the scroll bar.
Hope this helps
