To hide or forget a widget from the parent widget or screen in tkinter, the place_forget() method is used on that widget based on place geometry management.
Syntax: widget.place_forget()
Parameter: None
Return: None
Below is the implementation :
Python3
# Imports everything from tkinter # and ttk module from tkinter import *from tkinter.ttk import * # toplevel window root = Tk() # setting window size root.geometry("150x100") # label widget label = Label(root, text="LABEL") # place in the window label.place(relx=0.4, y=5) # button widgets # In command attribute of Button, # place_forget() method is passed # in the lambda function to temporarily # hide the label b1 = Button(root, text = "hide text", command = lambda: label.place_forget()) b1.place(relx = 0.3, y = 30) # the label is placed again b2 = Button(root, text = "retrieve text", command = lambda: label.place( relx = 0.4)) b2.place(relx = 0.3, y = 50) # Start the GUI root.mainloop() |
Output:
After hiding:
After retrieving:
Note: There are other methods pack_forget() and grid_forget() that work the same way as forget_pack() and forget_grid() .
