Tkinter focus - catlessness - Mar-08-2020
import tkinter as tk
window=tk.Tk()
window.title('Impedance simulation')
window.geometry('900x700')
entry1=tk.Entry(window,show=None,textvariable=tk.StringVar(value=1))
entry2=tk.Entry(window,show=None,textvariable=tk.StringVar(value=2))
entry3=tk.Entry(window,show=None,textvariable=tk.StringVar(value=3))
entry1.pack()
entry2.pack()
entry3.pack()
def locate(key):
print(window.focus_get())
window.bind('<Key>', locate)
window.mainloop()Hi,im struggling to locate the focused entry
the focus_get() only tells me it's an entry not which one
is there a way to locate the exact entry that's focused?
Thank you!!!

There's a bunch of blogs on this, to get the list I googled 'tkinter, determine which widget has current focus'
In my book Tkinter is annoying for anything than the most simplistic application, I only use it for a quick GUI.
If I am writing anything serious, I use wxpython (phoenix version)

the solution i have now is very limited to my program, I simply bind every widgets with '<Return>' as:
def refresh(event):
'''

'''
widget1.bind('<Return>',refresh)
widget2.bind('<Return>',refresh)
#......
window.mainloop()so that after i input the value i need to press entre to run the function i need.
