Tkinter templates part 2: window with an Entry and a Text Area widget

Below is an example of creating a simple window using Tkinter with an Entry widget, a Text widget, and a Button widget. You’ll need to have Python installed to run this code, tkinter comes with python:

import tkinter as tk

def on_button_click():
    text = entry.get()
    text_widget.insert(tk.END, f"Text entered: {text}\n")
    entry.delete(0, tk.END)

# Create the main window
window = tk.Tk()
window.title("Tkinter Window")

# Entry widget
entry = tk.Entry(window, width=30)
entry.pack(pady=10)

# Text widget
text_widget = tk.Text(window, width=30, height=10)
text_widget.pack()

# Button widget
button = tk.Button(window, text="Submit", command=on_button_click)
button.pack(pady=10)

# Start the main event loop
window.mainloop()

Save this code in a file with a .py extension (e.g., tkinter_example.py), and then run it using Python. A window will open with an Entry widget, a Text widget, and a Button widget. When you type something in the Entry widget and click the button, the text will be displayed in the Text widget, and the Entry widget will be cleared.

Please note that Tkinter is a standard Python library for creating GUI applications. It might not have the most modern look and feel, but it’s straightforward to use for simple applications like this one. For more sophisticated GUIs, you may want to explore other libraries like PyQt or wxPython.

A version with a class

import tkinter as tk


# Create the main window
class Window:
    def __init__(self):
        self.window = tk.Tk()
        self.window.title("Tkinter Window")

        # Entry widget
        self.entry = tk.Entry(self.window, width=30)
        self.entry.pack(pady=10)

        # Text widget
        self.text_widget = tk.Text(self.window, width=30, height=10)
        self.text_widget.pack()

        # Button widget
        self.button = tk.Button(self.window, 
            text="Submit", 
            command=self.on_button_click)
        self.button.pack(pady=10)
        self.window.mainloop()

    def on_button_click(self):
        self.text = self.entry.get()
        self.text_widget.insert(tk.END, f"Text entered: {self.text}\n")
        self.entry.delete(0, tk.END)

win = Window()
