from tkinter import *

def drag_start(event):
widget = event.widget
widget.startX = event.x
widget.startY = event.y

def drag_motion(event):
widget = event.widget
x = widget.winfo_x() - widget.startX + event.x
y = widget.winfo_y() - widget.startY + event.y
widget.place(x=x, y=y)

window = Tk()

label = Label(window, bg="red", width=10, height=5)
label.place(x=0, y=0)

label2 = Label(window, bg="blue", width=10, height=5)
label2.place(x=100, y=100)

label.bind("<Button-1>", drag_start)
label.bind("<B1-Motion>", drag_motion)

label2.bind("<Button-1>", drag_start)
label2.bind("<B1-Motion>", drag_motion)

window.mainloop()

OK, this is an amazing intro to building a drag-and-drop GUI in Python. I can't believe how EASY it looks! Thank you for posting this!!

Question: I get an AttributeNotExist -sort of error for label.startX and label.startY. I coulnd^t find any hints towards them in the documentation. What are the correct (new) names of these now?

Superb explanation. I am taking up coding after a gap of 11 years and these tutorials are of extreme help.

I got a problem whhere unresolved attribute reference 'startX' for class 'Label' bro, python 3.10 ver here help me

[andrewpalmer]

Excellent training session. Thank you.
P.S. May want to make this a series on DnD. Next maybe Dragging from a menu bar and Dropping in the work area.

Bro! Thank you so much! Great tutorial! Simple, easy clean, easy to follow with no extra fluff! SUBSCRIBED!

[juankorsia]

Explanation very good with a lot of details. Kudos!!!

I took 5 min to understard the algorithm you use to drag and drop. It relates to vectors which I love at mathematic. Thanks you for teaching!

Eu amo tkinter...

Agora, a realidade pode ser o que eu quiser

Muito obrigado, ajudou demais

[monwil]

Bro, again you made Python the best alternative for any new programmer. 😎👏

[thebuggser]

Great presentation! Concise, clear and easy to follow.

[krishnamurari]

Sir I have questions.
How to change only selected label size use of mouse if you have multiple label please reply

I'm such a fan now, I truly hope you make a school of programming so I can throw my money at you. My own ambition at 36 years old is to become as dangerous as possible when it comes to programming. I comment some nonsense here, but that is purely to get Youtube to put your content ahead of many others. Freecodecamp doesn't compare, I do however support their stuff as well.

[aizenvermillion]

Umm... Excuse me, I'd like to ask what maybe the problem with my tkinter as I tried the code here but it made an Exception error and says that 'widget' is not defined once I tried to drag either labels. I checked both the code in the video and the code here in the comment and found nothing in mine that is any different. I do hope you'd be able to find this and help me. Thank you very much. :)

Hi.
Thank you so much for creating python tutorials bro. ❤️
I have a question though.
Why it's necessary subtract label.start from label.winfo?
I mean we can do "drag and drop" without writing this. Can't we?
Thank you in advance. 😍
Cheers. 🌹👍🏻

[razielrazielivich]

Thank you so much for your lesson. You explained it very clearly and in detail. Revealing your motives for writing code. I wish you good health and creative success.

Perhaps the title is a little misleading
I was expecting drag and drop from a palette into a frame
That kind of drag and drop

[innomindsco]

i appreciate the briefing but like some details as well
