mouse move event/cinfiguration ttk/python

[janeik]

hello and thank for help given.
I have a goal:
When mousepointer moves,write its coordinates into text field of an allready existing label.
In order to achieve that, I need:
1) a mouse movement event to register movements
2) code to change/config text of an allready existing label

As a nearly beginner in codeing, code should be "stright forward"

re 1: found and understand,this code:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2292...on-tkinter

from textholders import *
from tkinter import ttk
from tkinter import *


import pyautogui
import tkinter as tk

window = tk.Tk()
# window.geometry(f"{1920}x{1200}")
window.geometry("1920x1200+0+0")
window.minsize(1920, 1200)
window.resizable(False, False)
window.title("map_view_example.py")
window.state("normal")
window.title("ROOT")
window.config(background="blue")
# hwnd = win32gui.GetForegroundWindow()
# win32gui.ShowWindow(hwnd, win32con.SW_MAXIMIZE)
inp_posskjerm = tk.Label(window, text ="original txt", font=("Ariel",9,"bold"), justify=("left"), relief="flat").place(x=115,y=277)


def motion(event):
    x, y = event.x, event.y
    print('{}, {}'.format(x, y))

window.bind('<Motion>', motion)



window.mainloop()

I should be able to use all but the formatting.

My,so fare, label control:(I probably use frames instead of place, later on.

inp_posskjerm = tk.Label(window, text ="original txt", font=("Ariel",9,"bold"), justify=("left"), relief="flat").place(x=115,y=277)

The x and y coordinate above should be input to a label configure function.
My 2 questions are:
1) how is this done without creating a new layer, but in the root?
2) I have tried to use configure, its quite convinient using a "helpbutton" to trigger the config. Doing this from an event seemes a bit more difficult,to me.
Which type of configure would You suggest for the above task?

I have read for 4 days without finding any clear answers, mainly howto
configure the text of a label,viewing x and y mouse coordinates, triggered by a moving mouse event.
Any help, hopefully with example code would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.
(I didnt post code in codetags as it probably would break the float of undertanding).
