Most widgets have some sort of "read-only" or "edit enable"
attribute you can set. Look at the documentation for the
widget in question. Since you don't specify what toolkit you're
using, that about as specific an answer as you're going to get...

assuming that you're talking about the Tkinter Entry widget, setting
the state option to "readonly" should do the trick:

e = Entry(...)
e.config(state="readonly")
