Liam, I am using IDLE - and Tkinter, John and Liam. I have been working
through the book Python Programming by Michael Dawson. One of his
programs calls for the entry of a password, then reveals a message. What I
would like to do is make the Text widget that reveals the message, unusable
by a user!
I tried the state = DISABLED in the 2nd line of code below, where the widget
to display the text is created - and it did disable the Text widget - to the
extent that it wouldn't reveal the message! I have tried multiple other
places to put the DISABLED - at the end of this code for instance, but it
doesn't seem to work there! Where can I place it so that it will prevent a
user access to that Text widget?
Also - assuming I can get it to work - what is the term I need to use to
enable to Text widget again so that it will continue to work the next time
around. I tried ENABLED - but was told that global name is not defined!
Here is a snippet from Fredrik Lundh's An Introduction to Tkinter that shows how to enable the
widget, insert some text, then disable it again:
text.config(state=NORMAL)
text.delete(1.0, END)
text.insert(END, text)
text.config(state=DISABLED)
from http://www.pythonware.com/library/tkinter/introduction/x8309-patterns.htm

Any ideas? Thanks in advance for suggestions.
Diana
Here is the code:
# create text widget to display message
self.secret_txt = Text(self, width = 35, height = 5, wrap = WORD)
self.secret_txt.grid(row = 3, column = 0, columnspan = 2, sticky =
W)
def reveal(self):
Display message based on password.
contents = self.pw_ent.get()
if contents == secret:
message = Here's the secret to living to 100: live to 99 \
and then be VERY careful.
else:
message = That's not the correct password, so I can't share \
the secret with you.
self.secret_txt.delete(0.0, END)
self.secret_txt.insert(0.0, message)
Hi Diana,
Welcome.
Are you using IDLE? Could you provide a copy of your code?
Regards,
Liam Clarke
Still a newbie, but not as much. :)

Hi! I need help on blocking user access to a message box - for example,
the

from happening please?
Diana - a very newbie!
