How to combine two pieces of code?

JMad0436

Hey guys, so I am quite new to coding, so excuse me if this is a silly question, but I am trying to insert code for a scroll bar into code I have for an event form for an interactive calendar. Each set of code works by itself, but when I try to insert the scroll bar code into my event form file it simply doesn't show up. I've tried several combinations and locations, to no avail. I have the two files copied below. I am trying to get the scroll bar just below the self.note_edit block. Any insight would be incredibly appreciated.

*EDIT: Not sure why the formatting is so weird with the code, if I need to change it let me know.

@JMad0436
Yes, please place code blocks inside forum's Code tags --- </> on toolbar here --- or line with ``` (3 backticks) above and below block.

Hi,

Your scroll and label variable are local to the function hence they will be destroyed at the end of it and never show.

On a side note, don't call show in the __init__ method. It's not the role of the widget to force itself to show. That's the role of the class or method that will manage it to do that.

JMad0436

@SGaist So I should disregard the block initializing a window, and set those variables by themselves within the class already written in the other file? I believe what you pointed out is why it's not showing up I'm just not positive how/where I should write those variables in order for them to show up.
