Insert widget (Label) into Listbox in Tkinter

Question

Hi people is it possible to insert Label widget into Listbox in tkinter instead of some str value and attach to it a scrollbar?

what have you tried? It is possible to put a listbox into tkinter with a scrollbar, or you can add a dropdown list which will make it a little cleaner. — st.ph.n, Jun 16 '16 at 17:14

Based on the documentation online, No

The listbox can only contain text items...

Don't ask me to explain it because I really don't understand it yet, but this should work:

import tkinter as tk # python3
root = tk.Tk()
myList = tk.Listbox(root)
myText = "A list item"
myList.insert(tk.END, myText)
myList.pack()
lbl = tk.Label(myList, text=myText, anchor="w", font=("Helvetica", "24"))
lbl.pack(side="top", fill="x", anchor="w")
root.mainloop()
