How can I insert a string in an Entry widget that is in the "readonly" state using Tkinter?
Tkinter Entry widget is used to insert single-line text input. We can use the Entry widget to create forms where single-line input is the prime requirement.
Sometimes, we need to insert a predefined text inside the Entry Widget. In such cases, we can use insert(INSERT,<Your Text>) method. These are generally called as Placeholders for the Entry widget.
Let us suppose that we want to change the state of our text as read-only. Here, we can use state= ‘readonly’ property while configuring the Entry widget.
Example
#Import the required Libraries
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk
#Create an instance of tkinter frame
win = Tk()
#Set the geometry of tkinter frame
win.geometry("750x270")
#Create an Entry Widget
entry= ttk.Entry(win, width= 40)
entry.insert(0, 'www.tutorialspoint.com')
#Set the state of Entry widget ReadOnly
entry.configure(state= "readonly")
entry.pack(ipadx= 20,ipady=10)
win.mainloop()Output
Running the above code will display a window that will have an Entry widget containing a single text which cannot be modified.
