Hello Everyone, Im trying to make this function to "move" text from a tkinter button to another, lets say sp is what i want to move, and t is the target so i want to move text from the button eightA to sixA, also note that i want to be able to use this function on any 2 buttons, Its hard to explain, but please help if you can, the code above is one i tried out of alot other which didnt work, Thanks

Answer 1

Procedure

• Store the text on first button in a variable
• Configure first button to have no text
• Configure second button to have text stored in variable

Example

btn1 = tk.Button(text="Hello")
btn2 = tk.Button(text="Not Hello")

# store text on btn1 in a variable
txt = btn1['text']
# configure btn1 to have no text
btn1.config(text="")
# configure btn2 to have text stored in variable
btn2.config(text=txt)

So your function would look like

def move(btn1, btn2):
    txt = btn1['text']
    btn1.config(text=" ")
    btn2.config(text=txt)
