Using Textbox And Text Capturing Function In Python GUI Application

Introduction

In this blog, I am going to create a textbox and text capturing function in Python GUI application. When a user enters the text in the textbox and clicks the Submit button, the button action will capture the text and display the Hi text in Python console.

Software requirement

Python 3.5 and IDLE (Python 3.5)

Programming code

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk
win = tk.Tk()# Application Name
win.title("Python GUI App")# Label
lbl = ttk.Label(win, text = "Enter the name:").grid(column = 0, row = 0)# Click event
def click():
print("Hi," + name.get())# Textbox widget
name = tk.StringVar()
nameEntered = ttk.Entry(win, width = 12, textvariable = name).grid(column = 0, row = 1)# Button widget
button = ttk.Button(win, text = "submit", command = click).grid(column = 1, row = 1)
win.mainloop()

About the code

First, I am importing the tkinter module.
Next, I assign a class and label variables and give the application title.
After label creation, next, I define click function then create textbox and button in the code.
Finally, I have started the Windows event loop by calling the main loop method and executed the code.

The Python GUI application will appear on the screen.
