Set default text for a Tkinter Entry widget in Python

This tutorial will discuss how to set the default text in Tkinter Entry Widget in Python.

The default text is the text inside the entry widget when we want some text as default text.

So we are going to use the insert function to insert text-“This is default text”.

For this we need to import Tkinter library create screen of your required geometry, then create an Entry widget, using the insert function with the text we want, we will execute the program.

import tkinter as tk

obj = tk.Tk()
obj.geometry("200x200")

default = tk.Entry(obj)
default.insert(0, "This is default text")
default.pack(pady=20)

obj.mainloop()

As you can see in the above image, we have the default text as “This is default text”. We have successfully completed our task to display the default text.
