How to control Pmw.ScrolledText scrollbar position?

[Bill Scherer]

I had a need for this too, and, fortunately for both of us, I just figured
it out.

# create a Pmw.ScrolledText
self.textWindow = Pmw.ScrolledText(self.master)

#get a reference to the Tk.Text component
self.textWindowText =
self.textWindow._MegaArchetype__componentInfo.get('text')[0]

#to move to the end of self.textWindow call this:
self.textWindowText.see(END)


Enjoy!
