My application uses a database backend in which each table has a unique and
database-generated sequential numeric key. I want to display that key in the
GUI for that class but it's not entered by the user or altered. It seems to
me that the ttk.Entry and ttk.Spinbox widgets are inappropriate. As a
newcomer to Tkinter I ask for advice on which widget to use.
You can make the Entry widget read-only:
entry_widget['state'] = 'readonly'
The user will still be able to copy from it.
Alternatively, you can disable it:
entry_widget['state'] = 'disabled'
The user won't be able to copy from it.
When updating the GUI, you'll need to make it writeable if you have it
currently read-only or disabled:
entry_widget['state'] = 'normal'
:
# Change the contents here.
:
entry_widget['state'] = 'readonly'
