[Tkinter-discuss] Binding all children

[Vasilis Vlachoudis]

Hi all,

Based on the previous threads I added the nice scrolled.py implementation of a ScrollFrame in my application and now I wanted to bind the Button-4&5 and MouseWheel events to the scrolled frame. My frames are a bit crowded therefore the real area that belongs to the client-scrolledframe is minimal the rest is buttons labels lists etc...
Therefore when I bind the <Button-4>... on the frame, I never get the events when the cursor is above a label or any other widget (which is most of the time).
For the moment after the creation of each frame I am calling a similar like the following function recursively

def bind_childs(w):
    if w.bind("<4>"): return
    w.bind("<4>", button4)
    w.bind("<5>", button5)
    for child in  w.winfo_children():
        child.bind("<4>", button4)
        child.bind("<5>", button5)

however I don't find it as a elegant and neat solution.
Is there a way (like bind_all) to bind all children or to get the event if is is not handled by any of the children?

Thanks in advance
Vasilis
