Text widget inert mode on and off - rfresh737 - Apr-18-2021 I can't find anything that talks about how to set a text widget insert mode on and off? My text widget is always in insert mode. I assume I can set it to an overwrite mode as well? UPDATE: Here are two screen shots of what I'd like my cursors to look like. Insert Mode Overwrite Mode Thank you... RE: Text widget inert mode on and off - joe_momma - Apr-18-2021 the Text widget inherits from Widget,XView and YView. as far cursors you need to change them manually. >>> from tkinter import * >>> root= Tk() >>> t= Text(root) >>> t.pack() >>> t.config(state='disabled') RE: Text widget inert mode on and off - Yoriz - Apr-18-2021 WxPython has a StyledTextCtrl that can be set to overtype mode https://docs.wxpython.org/wx.stc.StyledTextCtrl.html#wx.stc.StyledTextCtrl.EditToggleOvertype Wrote:EditToggleOvertype(self) RE: Text widget inert mode on and off - rfresh737 - Apr-18-2021 >as far cursors you need to change them manually Are you referring to text.config(cursor="dot blue") or something else? >t.config(state='disabled') I don't want to make my text widget read-only. Text widget: insert and overwrite modes? - rfresh737 - Apr-19-2021 From what I can read online about the Text widget, it doesn't support the concept of having insert and overwrite modes correct? If I wanted to have those features, I'd have to code that up myself? Or have I just missed that in the Text widget docs? Thank you...
