Hinted Text
Hinted text widget for tkinter.
This custom HintedText
class inherits from tk.Text
and adds a hint parameter in the constructor. The clear_hint
method is bound to the <FocusIn>
event and will clear the hint text if the widget has focus and the text is the same as the hint. The add_hint
method is bound to the <FocusOut>
event and will add the hint text back if the widget loses focus and the text is empty.
Installation
pip install hintedtext
Usage
import tkinter as tk
from hintedtext import HintedText, HintedEntry
root = tk.Tk()
text = HintedText(root, hint="Enter your text here")
text.pack()
entry = HintedEntry(root, hint="Enter your text here")
entry.pack()
root.mainloop()
