How to add placeholder to an Entry in tkinter?
Tkinter provides features to add widgets such as button, text, entry, dialogue and other attributes that help to develop an application. However, tkinter doesn't include a placeholder in the entry widget. Placeholders are the dummy text that appears in the entry widget to inform the user about it.
In this article, we will add a placeholder in the entry widget using the insert(default value, text) function that takes a default value such as 0 along with the placeholder text.
Example
#Import tkinter library
from tkinter import*
#Create an instance of frame
win= Tk()
#Set geometry
win.geometry("700x400")
#Create a text Label
Label(win, text="Notepad", font=('Poppins bold', 25)).pack(pady=20)
text= StringVar()
#Create an entry widget
test= Entry(win, textvariable=text)
test.pack(fill='x', expand=True, padx= 45, pady=45)
test.focus()
#Add a placeholder in the entry Widget
test.insert(0, "Enter any Text")
win.mainloop()Output
Running the above code will create an Entry Widget with some placeholder in it.
