scrolled panel with vpython 6

[newbie]

Hello,

I'm new in vpython with wxpython. I tried to make a window with a small visual-window inside and some static_text. But I wanted to let the static_text scrollable. I tried following small example, but the text and the scrollbar won't appear. Can you help me to see what is wrong? Thanks!

from visual import *
import wx
import wx.lib.scrolledpanel as scrolled

f = window(title='test', width=200,height=200)
scene = display(window=f, x=10, y=10, width=100, height=100)
mypanel = f.panel
myscrolled = scrolled.ScrolledPanel(mypanel)
myscrolled.SetupScrolling()
sizer=wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
for i in range(200):
    text=wx.StaticText(myscrolled,pos=(120,i*20),label='test')
    sizer.Add(text,wx.EXPAND)
myscrolled.SetSizer(sizer)

ball=sphere()

I tried the following based on the link shown below and no text appears. I don't have experience with wx scrolling text, but Iwonder whether perhaps the VPython machinery doesn't play well with sizers?

from visual import *

import wx

import wx.lib.scrolledpanel as scrolled

# http://wxpython.org/Phoenix/docs/html/lib.scrolledpanel.html

text = ''

for i in range(20):

    text += 'test\n'

class TestPanel(scrolled.ScrolledPanel):

    def __init__(self, parent):

        scrolled.ScrolledPanel.__init__(self, parent, -1)

        vbox = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)

        desc = wx.StaticText(self, -1, text)

        desc.SetForegroundColour("Blue")

        vbox.Add(desc, 0, wx.ALIGN_LEFT | wx.ALL, 5)

        vbox.Add(wx.StaticLine(self, -1, size=(1024, -1)), 0, wx.ALL, 5)

        vbox.Add((20, 20))

        self.SetSizer(vbox)

        self.SetupScrolling()

f = window(title='test', width=600,height=600)

p = TestPanel(f.win)

f.win.Show()

display(window=f, x=400, y=400, width=100, height=100)

sphere()

That has been my experience in the past. I've resorted to having
separate windows for the VPython display and for all the wxpython
controls.
