If I create a Tkinter.Entry widget, I can adjust the background and the
text colours, using the background and foreground options. However, if
the state is "disabled", then this has no effect and it just appears as
grey on a light grey background. E.g.,
Tkinter.Entry(r oot, foreground="bla ck", background="whi te",
state="disabled ").grid()
does not do what I expected. What is the correct way to adjust the
foreground and background on disabled Entry widgets?
Thanks,
Martyn

tkinter has separate disabledbackgro und and disableforegrou nd options for
this purpose: http://www.effbot.org/tkinterbook/en....config-method

Thanks v. much.
I'd missed that in the documentation I have access to.

I'm trying to make a custom entry widget, as in the code that follows.
There are two problems I'm trying to fix:
1) I would like the widget to behave as myEntry.Escape() does now,
except that it happens on loss of focus, not when pressing Esc.
2) TABbing between multiple entry fields does undesired things with
the selection, and with cursor placement.
Can anyone offer any suggestions for how to fix this? I'm attemting to

Hi everyone,
I'm building a GUI in which I want, amongst other things, for people to
fill in there postal code. The postal codes of my country (Holland) are
in this format: 1234 AB
So for the input I use two entry widgets, one of a length of
(characters) for the numbers and one of lenght 2 for the letters. What I
don't like is that although the visible part of the widgets thus are 4
and 2 characters, users can actually input more...

In a Tkinter entry field (or Pmw entry)
how could I eat charactres?
Say a certain char is keyed in. Say &

I don't want any more charactres to display or
be in the field until I handle a see, in the
event handler, another character. Say ?
Can the event handler somehow destroy the char?

Is it a bug or a feature?
I'm trying to sub-class an Entry widget that displays a template (i.e. '____-__-__') for users and does keystroke validation. It is starting to work but with one problem. Every key is echoed in the Entry widget. If I were to type a '2', '22__-__-__' is displayed. The next entry replaces the first duplicate with another, that is if I were to then type a '3' the display now shows '233__-__-__', and so on. The correct...

Hello
I have the following problem in Python 2.5 on Windows XP.
On Ubuntu I do not see the problem.
I have a Tkinter application as in the following example
The entry-widget is somehow blocked (i cannot type characters into it)
when I call askopenfilename before I create the widget.
Calling askopenfile again (by clicking the button) releases the block,
I can type into the entry as expected.
