I am using Tkinter for a project, and I found in Stackoverflow a code to create a scrollbar, which I understood well. I wanted to scroll some buttons, which worked, but now when I try to scroll some grids (button and scales), it doesn’t work.
I have tried to manage my code with answers here and here, but I didn’t reach my goal!

EDIT 1: It seems that the output is just made of the last grid, because the text in the only button shown is ff, which corresponds to the last sound in the list. I didn’t have this problem with just buttons (and not grids): I could see every sounds and I had the scrolling bar active…
EDIT 2: The problem is solved, but now we have a new problem : putting a command to the checkbutton isn’t possible like that. You can see by yourself that the self.varbutton.set(“OFF) isn’t respected, the button is always on “ON”… Here is the code with the problem of command :

EDIT 3: I edited my second code (see EDIT 2).

Answer
It is because you put all the set of Scale and Checkbutton into same location, so the last set will overlap the previous ones:
def soundbuttoncreator(self):
self.volumescale = tk.Scale(self.parent, orient='vertical', from_=0, to=10, resolution=0.1, tickinterval=2, label='Volume (db)', )
self.volumescale.grid(row=0,column=1, rowspan=2, sticky="nsew") # same for all instances of Make_sound
self.faderscale = tk.Scale(self.parent, orient='horizontal', from_=0, to=10, resolution=0.1, tickinterval=2, label='Volume (db)')
self.faderscale.grid(row=1,column=0, sticky="nsew") # same for all instances of Make_sound
self.button = tk.Checkbutton(self.parent,text=self.name, indicatoron=False, selectcolor="green", background="red", onvalue="ON", offvalue="OFF")
self.button.grid(row=0, column=0, sticky="nsew") # same for all instances of Make_sound
You should put the set of widgets in a frame and use pack() on the frame:
def soundbuttoncreator(self):
self.frame = tk.Frame(self.parent) # create a frame to hold the widgets
# use self.frame as parent instead of self.parent
self.volumescale = tk.Scale(self.frame, orient='vertical', from_=0, to=10, resolution=0.1, tickinterval=2, label='Volume (db)', )
self.volumescale.grid(row=0,column=1, rowspan=2, sticky="nsew")
self.faderscale = tk.Scale(self.frame, orient='horizontal', from_=0, to=10, resolution=0.1, tickinterval=2, label='Volume (db)')
self.faderscale.grid(row=1,column=0, sticky="nsew")
self.button = tk.Checkbutton(self.frame, text=self.name, indicatoron=False, selectcolor="green", background="red",
onvalue="ON", offvalue="OFF", variable=self.varbutton)
self.button.grid(row=0, column=0, sticky="nsew")
self.frame.pack() # use pack() on the frame so new instance of `Make_sound` will not overlap the old instances
