[Tkinter] entry widget

[deanhystad]

If you want to control the appearance of a widget in it's disabled state, configure the widget when you create it, or use a style.

import tkinter as tk


def toggle_state(widget):
    state = tk.DISABLED if widget["state"] != tk.DISABLED else tk.NORMAL
    widget.configure(state=state)


root = tk.Tk()

entry = tk.Entry(root, font=("Arial", 12), bg='lightblue')
entry.configure(disabledbackground=entry["bg"], disabledforeground=entry["fg"])  # Look same when disabled.
entry.pack(side=tk.TOP, padx=10, pady=5)

button = tk.Button(root, text="Toggle State", font=("Arial", 24), command=lambda: toggle_state(entry))
button.pack(side=tk.TOP, padx=10, pady=5)

root.mainloop()
