[Tkinter-discuss] copy-enabled Label

[Michael O'Donnell]

Hi Michael,

  Ahhh, my tkinter manual does not contain the state='readonly'
property. Seems I need to update my manual (John Shipman's
from 2003).

The original poster should note that every time you want to change
the text displayed, you need to change the state to normal, change the
text, and then re-assert state='readonly'.

Mick
