I worked on this for a long time. I did many searches to fix the many
error messages I was getting and I finally got this to work. I would now
just like to have the text disappear when a person clicks in the box to
type something. How can I do that?
(This is just a sample of the whole program.)
from Tkinter import *
class MyGrid(Frame):
def __init__(self, win=None):
Frame.__init__(self, win)
self.grid()
self.mkWidgets()
[...snip...]
self.mytext = StringVar()
self.mytext.set("Enter text here") # This text needs to be
deleted upon clicking in the field.
self.e = Entry(bg='orange', textvariable=self.mytext,
relief=SUNKEN, width=50)
self.e.grid(row=0, column=0)
[...snip...]
app = MyGrid()
app.mainloop()
#==============================================================END
I have created a method to clear the field.
This is not working:
def clearBox(self):
self.mytext.delete(0, END)
return
self.mytext = StringVar(None)
self.mytext.set("Enter text here")
self.e = Entry(bg='orange', textvariable=self.mytext,
relief=SUNKEN, width=50, command=self.clearBox)
self.e.grid(row=0, column=0)
This does not work either:
def clearBox(self):
self.mytext.get()
self.mytext.delete(0, END)
return
self.mytext = StringVar(None)
self.mytext.set("Enter text here")
self.e = Entry(bg='orange', textvariable=self.mytext,
relief=SUNKEN, width=50, command=self.clearBox)
self.e.grid(row=0, column=0)
This either:
def clearBox(self):
#self.mytext.get()
self.e.delete(0, END)
return
