I am trying to create a GUI with a text box that automatically appends status messages during the execution of a program. I can use a Label widget with a textvariable to update the text, but as far as I can tell, I can't add a scrollbar to a Label. I can add a scrollbar to a Text widget, but I can't use a textvariable to populate that widget.
I feel like there is a simple answer, but I haven't been able to find it.
This is the working Label without a scrollbar:
self.status_window = tk.Label(
self.status_window_pane,
height=5,
width=50,
textvariable=self.status_messages,
relief=GROOVE,
bg="white",
fg="black",
anchor="nw",
justify=LEFT,
)
CodePudding user response:
You don't need textvariable
to populate a text widget, you can use its insert
method:
text = tk.Text(...)
# After some event
text.insert('1.0', content) # 1.0 is the text indice
