tkinter question

[Ajay]

hi!

in my gui i have a set of radio buttons and some entry widgets.
what i'd like is that unless a particular radio button is selected, i
shouldn't be able to enter information in the entry widget.

how would i do that? make the widget non-editable?

cheers

theEntry.config(state=DISABLED)

Remember that while the entry is disabled you can't alter its text, e.g.
with insert and delete, you need to set state back to NORMAL
(transiently) to modify the text in an Entry widget.
