tkinter text

[richard_chamberlain at my-deja.com]

Keith,

There may be a better way of doing it...

from Tkinter import *
root=Tk()
text=Text(root,width=50,height=50)
text.pack()
def intercept(event):
    return 'break'
text.bind('<Key>',intercept)
text.insert(END,'Sweet ;-)')
root.mainloop()

Here I bind a <Key> event to the intercept function - where I
return 'break' to stop the event propagating, so basically it's
disabled. To undisable you'd just need to unbind that event.

Richard
