Making a rectangle border around text in Textbox python tkinter-CodePudding

I want to have a rectangle border around certain text that is added to the text box from the end and will be placed at the center.

For example:

Unfortunately, I can't find a way to do that, because I don't know how to place texts at the center of the line in the text box, and don't know how to surround a text with a rectangle.

CodePudding user response：

Try putting the text box into it's own frame.

Some thing like this:

from Tkinter import *
root = Tk()

labelframe = LabelFrame(root, text="LabelFrame")
labelframe.pack()

text = Label(labelframe, text="Text inside labelframe")
text.pack()

root.mainloop()

CodePudding user response：

You can add the border to the Entry using relief = "solid", centre the text with outline and you can use grid to align the widgets the way you want.

import tkinter as tk

root = tk.Tk()
root.geometry("400x200")
root.grid_columnconfigure(0, weight = 1)

ent1 = tk.Entry(root, relief = "solid", justify = "center")
ent1.insert(0, "hello")
ent1.grid(row = 0, column = 0, pady = 10)

ent2 = tk.Entry(root, relief = "solid", justify = "center")
ent2.insert(0, ".......")
ent2.grid(row = 1, column = 0, pady = 10)

lab1 = tk.Label(root, text = "hello")
lab1.grid(row = 2, column = 0, sticky = "w")

lab2 = tk.Label(root, text = "hello")
lab2.grid(row = 3, column = 0, sticky = "w")

root.mainloop()

Most of this is straightforward, the root.grid_columnconfigure line makes the grid take up the full width of the root window by giving the first column a weight of 1. The result is very similar to your example:
