How to Delete Tkinter Text Box's Contents?

To delete the contents of a Tkinter Text widget, you can use the delete method. If you're dealing with a single-line Entry widget, you can also use the delete method but with slightly different arguments.

Here's how to do it for both:

  1. For Text Widget:

    To delete all the contents of a Text widget:

    text_widget.delete("1.0", "end")

    Here, "1.0" represents the start position (line 1, character 0) and "end" represents the end position of the text.

  2. For Entry Widget:

    To delete all the contents of an Entry widget:

    entry_widget.delete(0, "end")

    Here, 0 represents the start position and "end" represents the end position of the text in the entry.

Example:

Here's a simple example with both Text and Entry widgets and buttons to clear them:

import tkinter as tk def clear_text(): text.delete("1.0", "end") def clear_entry(): entry.delete(0, "end") root = tk.Tk() # Text widget and its clear button text = tk.Text(root, height=5, width=30) text.pack(pady=10) tk.Button(root, text="Clear Text", command=clear_text).pack(pady=10) # Entry widget and its clear button entry = tk.Entry(root) entry.pack(pady=10) tk.Button(root, text="Clear Entry", command=clear_entry).pack(pady=10) root.mainloop()

Run the above code, and you'll have both a Text widget and an Entry widget along with buttons to clear their contents.
