[Tkinter-discuss] copy-enabled Label

[Michael O'Donnell]

Hi O.C.

The following code shows how to use an Entry widget
which ignores all key presses except Control-c and Control-x
(copy and cut at least under windows).

from Tkinter import *

def copy1(event):
    pass

def printKey(event):
    return "break"

main=Tk()

wt=Entry(main, bg="white")
wt.insert(END, "FRed")
wt.pack(side=LEFT, fill=BOTH,expand=True)
wt.bind("<Control-c>", copy1)
wt.bind("<Control-x>", copy1)
wt.bind("<KeyPress>", printKey)
main.mainloop()
