After having a closer look at your code it appears to me that
this is pretty much nonsense what you're trying there.

A listbox widget is meant to manage _text_ items that are
displayed as a vertical list inside the widget.

A listbox widget is *not* meant to contain buttons.
A listbox widget *cannot* scroll buttons.

What exactly are you trying to achive with this code?

Probably we can find a different solution, but I haven't
understood what exactly is the desired purpose.
