Python Tkinter: How to Capture Text Box Entries on Submit Button Press

Python Tkinter is a GUI toolkit that allows you to create desktop applications with a graphical interface. One common use case is capturing user input from text boxes and processing that input when a submit button is pressed. In this article, we will show you how to do just that.

Step 1: Create a Text Box

First, you will need to create a text box where the user can enter their input. You can do this using the <input> tag with type “text”. Give the text box an id so that you can reference it later in your Python code.


<input type="text" id="userInput">

Step 2: Create a Submit Button

Next, you will need to create a submit button that the user can press to submit their input. Use the <button> tag and give it an id as well.


<button id="submitBtn">Submit</button>

Step 3: Capture the Text Box Entries in Python

Now, let’s write the Python code that will capture the text box entries when the submit button is pressed. We will use the Tkinter library to create the GUI and handle the button press event.


import tkinter as tk

def on_submit():
user_input = text_box.get()
print("User input:", user_input)

root = tk.Tk()
text_box = tk.Entry(root)
text_box.pack()

submit_btn = tk.Button(root, text="Submit", command=on_submit)
submit_btn.pack()

root.mainloop()

Step 4: Run the Code

Save the HTML code in an HTML file and the Python code in a Python file. Run the Python file to see the GUI window with the text box and submit button. Enter some text in the text box and press the submit button to see the captured input printed to the console.

Conclusion

In this article, we showed you how to capture text box entries on submit button press using Python Tkinter. This is a common use case in GUI applications and can be easily implemented with Tkinter’s event handling capabilities.
