<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 580768 by <a href="/recipes/users/4189907/">Miguel Martínez López</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/entry/">entry</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/placeholder/">placeholder</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/tkinter/">tkinter</a>). Revision 8. </p> <p>The function <em>add_placeholder_to</em> adds a placeholder to a tkinter entry.</p> <p>Parameters:</p> <ul> <li><em>entry:</em> Tkinter widget to add placeholder</li> <li><em>placeholder:</em> Text of placeholder</li> <li><em>color:</em> Color of placeholder (optional)</li> <li><em>font</em>: Font of placeholder (optional)</li> </ul> <p>A placeholder state object is attached to attribute "placeholder_state" of entry widget for future reference. It makes more easier to configure state of placeholder, or change the preferences of the user for color and font for the placeholder.</p> <p>This widget is added also to my Metro Tkinter recipe:</p> <p><a href="https://code.activestate.com/recipes/580729-metro-ui-tkinter/" rel="nofollow">https://code.activestate.com/recipes/580729-metro-ui-tkinter/</a></p>
