Text in Entry widget going out of view-CodePudding

I have an entry widget as such:

...

entry1=Entry(frame1,font=("Verdana",10),width=20)
entry1.grid(row=0,column=0,rowspan=2,pady=10,padx=10,ipday=5)

and when I type a long string within in,
it crops out the last letter such that I can't even bring it into view using the right arrow key

(12039201901--71230110)

but if I add one more character then I can use the right arrow key to bring it into view

How do I fix this issue?

CodePudding user response：

Just change the width by 0.2 or 0.3 so it fits? If that doesn't work I'm not sure how to help.

CodePudding user response：

Tkinter Entry widget doesnt support text wrapping, as an alternative you can try using Text widget which also allows input and text wrapping. https://tkdocs.com/tutorial/morewidgets.html#text

Can also try

entry1=Entry(frame1,font=("Verdana",10),width=20, columnspan= 2)

So entry widget spans to next column as well.
