How do I place a preset into the text box?

Works like a charm, special thanks.

He called his wife to see if he should pick up Fish and Chips on the way
home.  She hung up on him.  She is still fuming over letting him name the
kids.

You might consider moving the entry  get()  function into the  Submit()
call back ....

def Submit() :

    label.configure( text = 'The new code is : ' + NewCode.get() )

    x = ( NewCode.get() )

    print( "\n  The new code entered is :  " + x )



The following  insert  function will show the OldCode in the  entry  box
....
 
OldCode = ( "1234-abcd" )

# ....

CodeEntered = ttk.Entry( window , width = 15 , textvariable = NewCode )

CodeEntered.grid( column = 2 , row = 3 , pady = 10 )

CodeEntered.insert( 0 , OldCode )
