The tkinter Entry Widget

This lesson shows how to obtain user data from a GUI i.e. it shows how a user entered string can be read from a GUI to a variable within the program.

I'm working my way through your play-list and wishing I'd found it earlier.

Excellent videos, well planned and structured and very professionally presented. Many thanks.

I'm beginner and I saw many ways to write with tkinter. That form is the simplest and useful. Without unnecessary classes and arguments to run the code and see the magic happens. Thank you for show how tkinter is easy.

Fred Smith has always been popular in test and demo programs. Like the idea of you showing different ways of assigning data to widgets.

Might suggest throwing up a link to this in github so others can potentially copy / paste or double check to see if they made any errors. Otherwise great work!

Here we assign the string and Hello to a variable then dump that into the label2.
string_to_display="Hello " + name_of_user


Could we do this?
label_2["text"]="Hello " + name_of_user

I am trying to get text from an entry then delete the entry button for esthetic reasons and continue using the data, but i am not able to do it.
somelike Type Hello in the entry box and save it as a textvariable ...then save that to x like x=var1.get() then after the entry widget is deleted by entry.destroy, .x is not equal to Hello but to an empty string..I have been at this for a whole day and i cannnot find out how to extract data from a widget entry, any thanks would be appreciated

Thanks for the tutorial. I am facing below error while using .get() method. AttributeError: NoneType has no attribute ‘get’. Can you help me to solve this issue?

You know, taking away the like dislike bar is sketchy. If you trust the content your posting I see no reason why you wouldn't have it. It's a bad look.
