wx.ScrolledWindow with wx.TextCtrl
Examples of wx.ScrolledWindow with some TextCtrl.
It is necessary to have a wx.ScrolledWindow or a wx.PyScrolledWindow be managed by a sizer to gaurantee that the scrollbars appear when they are needed.
The first example shows the basic way. When the focus goes to a TextCtrl the scrollbars do not move automatically.
The second example moves the scrollbars when the focus goes to the control. This moves the TextCtrl in focus to the top-left of the Frame. It alse uses a wx.FlexGridSizer to efficiently arrange the controls.
First example, basic
Thanks to Gary Simmons for clarifying my code.

Second example: managed TextCtrl focus
This example moves the scrollbars automatically when the focus goes to a TextCtrl. The comments describe when this happens. Multi-line TextCtrl's can be substituted.
