I´m using this very known script from Mr. Bryan Oakley. My question is: How make class PageOne child of ScrolledWindow from Mr. Mikhail (https://stackoverflow.com/users/6470235/mikhail-tin). His script is in the question: Tkinter scrollbar for frame. But I wrote both bellow.

When I try PageOne = ScrolledWindow(parent=SampleApp) python asks for controller, if I use container, it doesnot recognize it. If I use PageOne = ScrolledWindow(parent=SampleApp, controller = SampleApp.container) it says: SampleApp has no attribute 'container'

I´m very curious about the answer of this puzzle.

Thanks in advance.

        # the container is where we'll stack a bunch of frames
        # on top of each other, then the one we want visible
        # will be raised above the others
        container = tk.Frame(self)
        container.pack(side="top", fill="both", expand=True)
        container.grid_rowconfigure(0, weight=1)
        container.grid_columnconfigure(0, weight=1)

After a lot of try and error I found a solution:

The Idea is to do a complete class with frame --> canvas --> desired frame outside the SampleApp and send it to the constructor loop:

enter image description here

This is the code to build a scrolled frame window inside the main class in a loop (after that you can change "Page_with_Scrooll_bar" to "PageOne" as I've asked in question):

import tkinter as tk                # python 3
from tkinter import font as tkfont  # python 3
from tkinter import ttk

class SampleApp(tk.Tk):

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        tk.Tk.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)

        self.title_font = tkfont.Font(family='Helvetica', size=18, weight="bold", slant="italic")
        container = tk.Frame(self)
        container.pack(side="top", fill="both", expand=True)
        container.grid_rowconfigure(0, weight=1)
        container.grid_columnconfigure(0, weight=1)
       
        self.frames = {}
        for F in (StartPage, PageOne, PageTwo, Page_with_Scroll_bar):
            page_name = F.__name__
            frame = F(parent=container, controller=self)
            self.frames[page_name] = frame
            frame.grid(row=0, column=0, sticky="nsew")
        self.show_frame("StartPage")

    def show_frame(self, page_name):
        '''Show a frame for the given page name'''
        frame = self.frames[page_name]
        frame.tkraise()


class StartPage(tk.Frame):

    def __init__(self, parent, controller):
        tk.Frame.__init__(self, parent)
        self.controller = controller
        label = tk.Label(self, text="This is the start page", font=controller.title_font)
        label.pack(side="top", fill="x", pady=10)

        button1 = tk.Button(self, text="Go to Page One",
                            command=lambda: controller.show_frame("PageOne"))
        button2 = tk.Button(self, text="Go to Page two",
                    command=lambda: controller.show_frame("PageTwo"))
        button3 = tk.Button(self, text="Example with Scrollbar",
                    command=lambda: controller.show_frame("Page_with_Scroll_bar"))
        button1.pack()
        button2.pack()
        button3.pack()

        
class PageOne(tk.Frame):

    def __init__(self, parent, controller):
        tk.Frame.__init__(self, parent)

        label.pack(side="top", fill="x", pady=10)
        button = tk.Button(self, text="Go to the start page",

        self.vsb.pack(side="right", fill="y")
        self.canvas.pack(side="left", fill="both", expand=True)
        self.canvas.create_window((4,4), window=self.frame, anchor="nw",
                                  tags="self.frame")

        self.frame.bind("<Configure>", self.onFrameConfigure)

        self.populate()
        self.button = tk.Button(self.frame, text="Go to the start page",
                        command=lambda: controller.show_frame("StartPage"))

        self.button.grid(row=102, column=1)
    
    def populate(self):
        '''Put in some fake data'''
        for row in range(100):

                     relief="solid").grid(row=row, column=0)
            t="this is the second column for row %s" %row
            tk.Label(self.frame, text=t).grid(row=row, column=1)

    
    def onFrameConfigure(self, event):
        '''Reset the scroll region to encompass the inner frame'''
        self.canvas.configure(scrollregion=self.canvas.bbox("all"))
