How do I change a listbox view in my python Tkinter project to a tree view

Question

I tried to use tree view to display the data of my project output but consistently got below error for all the button clicks

I then switched to Listbox view and I was able to execute my project with no errors, all data being displayed, scrollbar working and select working perfectly.

How I want to use the tree view and also get it to work with selection and scrollbar. If anyone can assist correct my code to use the tree view instead and point out my mistakes. I have commented the tree view code.

So I figured this out after a few research here and there. You need to first create the tree view below

Create a Treeview Scrollbar

tree_scroll = Scrollbar(wr4)
tree_scroll.grid(row=12,column=3,rowspan=6,sticky=W)

# Create The Treeview

student_list = ttk.Treeview(wr4, yscrollcommand=tree_scroll.set, 
selectmode="extended",show='headings')
student_list.grid()

# Configure the Scrollbar

tree_scroll.config(command=student_list.yview)

# Define Our Columns

student_list['columns'] = ("ID", "F_Name", "L_Name", "Contact", 
"Policy", "Insurance", "Contact P/E", "Status")

# Format Our Columns

student_list.column("#0", width=0, stretch=NO)
student_list.column("ID", anchor=W, width=50)
student_list.column("F_Name", anchor=W, width=80)
student_list.column("L_Name", anchor=CENTER, width=80)
student_list.column("Contact", anchor=CENTER, width=120)
student_list.column("Policy", anchor=CENTER, width=120)
student_list.column("Insurance", anchor=CENTER, width=120)
student_list.column("Contact P/E", anchor=CENTER, width=120)
student_list.column("Status", anchor=CENTER, width=150)


# Create Headings

student_list.heading("#0", text="", anchor=W)
student_list.heading("ID", text="ID", anchor=W)
student_list.heading("F_Name", text="F_Name", anchor=W)
student_list.heading("L_Name", text="L_Name", anchor=CENTER)
student_list.heading("Contact", text="Contact", anchor=CENTER)
student_list.heading("Policy", text="Policy", anchor=CENTER)
student_list.heading("Insurance", text="Insurance", anchor=CENTER)
student_list.heading("Contact P/E", text="Contact P/E", anchor=CENTER)
student_list.heading("Status", text="Status", anchor=CENTER)

and then create a function to displace this, using a loop.

def view_all():
    for record in student_list.get_children():
        student_list.delete(record)
    for row in db.view():
        
        student_list.insert(parent='', index='end', text='', values=. 
        (row[0], row[1], row[2], row[3], row[4], row[5], row[6], 
        row[7]))

calling the database class

class Database:
    def view(self):
        self.conn.ping(reconnect=True)
        self.cur.execute("SELECT * FROM property_damage_claim")
        rows = self.cur.fetchall()
        return rows
