disabledforeground or similar for Entry (in Tkinter)

Back in this post, I attempted to make a label look like a button:

Alright, I've learned my lesson - don't use a new widget; modify the
old one.

Except the Entry widget doesn't have a disabledforeground option.
Neither does the Text widget, but IDLE seems to accomplish making a
disabled Text look the same as an enabled Text in the IDLE Help
section.

No, foreground (fg) and background (bg) don't make a difference; it
still changes the color of the Entry widget upon disabling.

There must be something I'm missing here...

Yes there is! I assumed that
http://www.pythonware.com/library/tkinter/introduction/x4447-options.htm
was telling the truth, in that it's not listed there.

Have you tried the state option ?

state = 'disabled'

It works for Text, Entry, and Button.

Once disabled you won't be able to make changes
until state= 'normal'

My previous post was hasty and we all know,
"Haste makes waste."

Try this;

If you use wiget-01.pack_forget() or
wiget-01.grid_forget(), you can now build
wiget-02 using wiget-02.pack or grid() for the
same location.

You can reinstall uninstalled wigets by using
pack() or grid() again for those hidden wigets.
However only after uninstalling for the wigets in
those locations.



root = Tk()

test1 = Button(root, text='Test No.1 button', bg =
'yellow', width = 15, height = 10)
test1.grid(row=0, column=0)
test1.grid_forget()


test2 = Button(root, text='Test #2 button', bg =
'green', width = 15, height = 10)
test2.grid(row=0, column=0)

mainloop()

Since others want to see more,


Try this, you can make the changes you want to the
look of your final output with grid or
pack_forget() .

root = Tk()
class Ktest:
def __init__(self):
self.Ftest1()

def Ftest1(self):
try:
self.test2.grid_forget()
except AttributeError :
pass
self.test1 = Button(root, text='Push #1
button', bg = 'yellow',
width = 25,
command = self.Ftest2,
height = 25)
self.test1.grid(row=0, column=0)


def Ftest2(self):
self.test1.grid_forget()

self.test2 = Button(root, text='Push #2
button', bg = 'green',
width = 25,
command = self.Ftest1,
height = 8)
self.test2.grid(row=0, column=0)
if __name__== '__main__' :
Ktest()
mainloop()
