Prerequisite: Python GUI – Tkinter
Python offers multiple options for developing a GUI (Graphical User Interface). Out of all the GUI methods, tkinter is the most commonly used method. It is a standard Python interface to the Tk GUI toolkit shipped with Python. Python with tkinter is the fastest and easiest way to create GUI applications. Creating a GUI using tkinter is an easy task.
In this article, we are going to write a Python script to get the tkinter label text. Below are the various methods discussed:
Method #1: Using cget() method.
Approach:
- Importing the module.
- Create the main window (container).
- Add Label widgets to the main window.
- Apply the cget() method and get label text.
Implementation:
Python3
# import modules import tkinter as tk # object of tkinter # and background set for light grey master = tk.Tk() master.configure(bg='light grey') # create label l = tk.Label(master, text="Welcome to neveropen", bg="red") # apply cget() print("Label text: ", l.cget("text")) l.pack() master.mainloop() |
Output:
Method #2: Using Dictionary label object.
Approach:
- Importing the module.
- Create the main window (container).
- Add Label widgets to the main window.
- Use Dictionary label object and get label text.
Python3
# import modules import tkinter as tk # object of tkinter # and background set for light grey master = tk.Tk() master.configure(bg = 'light grey') # create label l = tk.Label(master, text = "Welcome to neveropen", bg = "red") # using dictionary label object print("Label text: ", l["text"]) l.pack() tk.mainloop() |
Output:
