Is it possible to add scrollbar to Label Frame in Tkinter?

Question

i keep trying to add vertical scrollbar to label frame in Tkinter, but i keep failing, is it even possible? I saw previous posts about this, but those posts are from more than 5 years ago, so i wanted to see if something changed. I created a function that adds new Entries when button is pressed, and I want to add a scrollbar so that I can see all entries in case there is a lot of them. Can you help me with this?

This is the error:

AttributeError: 'LabelFrame' object has no attribute 'yview'

This is my code:

from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk

myApp = Tk()
myApp.title(" MY GUI")                         
myApp.geometry("1000x650")


frame1=LabelFrame(myApp,text="Activities",height=15)
frame1.grid(row=0,column=0,padx=5)

vertSB=ttk.Scrollbar(frame1,orient="vertical",command=frame1.yview)
vertSB.grid(row=2,rowspan=10,column=6,padx=5,sticky="NS")
frame1.configure(yscrollcommand=vertSB.set)

i=Label(frame1, text=" i ")
i.grid(row=0,column=1,pady=5)

Tasks=Label(frame1, text="Tasks")
Tasks.grid(row=0,column=2,pady=5)

Planned=Label(frame1, text="Planned")
Planned.grid(row=0,column=3,pady=5)

Real=Label(frame1, text="Real")
Real.grid(row=0,column=4,pady=5)

Prod=Label(frame1, text="Prod.")
Prod.grid(row=0,column=5,pady=5)

newrow=1
class AddNewTask(object):
    rowlist=[]

    def update_row_values(self):

        for i,entry in enumerate(self.rowlist):
            entry.delete(0, 'end')
            entry.insert(0,i+1)

    def addTask(self):

        def delete():
            bdelete.destroy()
            iEntry.destroy()
            taskEntry.destroy()
            plannedEntry.destroy()
            realEntry.destroy()
            prodEntry.destroy()
            self.rowlist.remove(iEntry)
            self.update_row_values()

        global newrow
        newrow=newrow+1

        bdelete=Button(frame1,text="-",command=delete)
        bdelete.grid(row=newrow,column=0,sticky="E",padx=4)

        iEntry=Entry(frame1,width=3)    
        self.rowlist.append(iEntry)     
        iEntry.grid(row=newrow,column=1,padx=1)   
        n = len(self.rowlist)  
        iEntry.insert(0,n)  

        taskEntry=Entry(frame1,width=55)
        taskEntry.grid(row=newrow,column=2,padx=1)

        plannedEntry=Entry(frame1,width=11)
        plannedEntry.grid(row=newrow,column=3,padx=1)

        realEntry=Entry(frame1,width=11)
        realEntry.grid(row=newrow,column=4,padx=1)

        prodEntry=Entry(frame1,width=11)
        prodEntry.grid(row=newrow,column=5,padx=1)


    def __init__(self):

        buttonadd=Button(frame1,text="Add Task",command=self.addTask)
        buttonadd.grid(row=0,column=0,padx=3,pady=5)

AddNewTask=AddNewTask()

myApp.mainloop()

@Aleksandar and if anything had changed then new up to date answers would be added to the other question — Nick is tired, Feb 06 '18 at 18:14

No it is not possible to add a scrollbar to a LabelFrame. May I suggest the use of listbox.

Thanks, but listbox will not solve my problem. User needs to add values (a lot of them), and with that values he needs to get some results . – Feb 06 '18 at 15:54
@Aleksandar You can also use the module `Pmw`, it has a widget `ScrolledFrame` – ViG Feb 06 '18 at 16:00
