Tkinter provides features to add widgets such as button, text, entry, dialogue and other attributes that help to develop an application. However, tkinter doesn't include a placeholder in the entry widget. Placeholders are the dummy text that appears in the entry widget to inform the user about it.
In this article, we will add a placeholder in the entry widget using the insert(default value, text) function that takes a default value such as 0 along with the placeholder text.
Example
#Import tkinter library
from tkinter import*
#Create an instance of frame
win= Tk()
#Set geometry
win.geometry("700x400")
#Create a text Label
Label(win, text="Notepad", font=('Poppins bold', 25)).pack(pady=20)
text= StringVar()
#Create an entry widget
test= Entry(win, textvariable=text)
test.pack(fill='x', expand=True, padx= 45, pady=45)
test.focus()
#Add a placeholder in the entry Widget
test.insert(0, "Enter any Text")
win.mainloop()Output
Running the above code will create an Entry Widget with some placeholder in it.
