The 
TixScrolledText widget is very similar to the
  TixScrolledListBox widget, except it scrolls a text subwidget, which
  is called 
text. One problem with the TixScrolledText widget,
  though, is its 
-scrollbar option doesn't work in the auto mode. This is due to a bug in Tk which doesn't report the
  width of the 
text subwidget correctly. Until this bug is fixed
  in TK, the 
auto mode will behave the same way as the both mode
  for the TixScrolledText widget.
   Another scrolled-widget is 
TixScrolledWindow. Sometimes you have a
  large number of widgets that can't possibly be shown in the screen all at
  once and your application doesn't allow you to divide the widgets into
  several pages of a TixNoteBook. In this case you can use
  TixScrolledWindow. It contains a frame subwidget called 
window. You
  can just create as many widgets as you need as children of the 
window subwidget. An example is shown in program 2-9, which uses the
  TixScrolledWindow widget to implement a ``cheap'' spreadsheet
  application. The boxes of the spreadsheet are just entry widgets and they
  are packed inside the 
window subwidget. The user will be able to
  scroll to different parts of the spreadsheet if it is too large to fit in
  one screen.
  tixScrolledWindow .sw -scrollbar autoset f [.sw subwidget window]
for {set x 0} {$x $<$ 10} {incr x} {
    frame $f.f$x
    pack  $f.f$x -side top -expand yes -fill both
    for {set y 0} {$y $<$ 10} {incr y} {
        entry $f.f$x.e$y -width 10
        pack $f.f$x.e$y -side left -fill x
    }
}
pack .sw -side left -expand yes -fill both

There are two more scrolled-widgets in the Tix library: 
TixScrolledTList scrolls a TixTList widget and TixScrolledHList  scrolls a TixHList widget. The subwidgets that they scroll are called
  
tlist and hlist, respectively. The use of the TList and HList
  widgets will be described in the next chapters.
