How to show and hide widgets in Tkinter?

Tkinter is a Python library which is used to create and develop GUI-based applications.Let us suppose that we have to create an application such that we can show or hide the widgets.

• In order to display/show the widget, use pack() geometry manager
• To hide any widget from the application, use pack_forget() method.

Example

Let us take this example to understand how to show/hide widgets −

# Import the required libraries from tkinter import * from tkinter import ttk # Create an instance of tkinter frame win = Tk() # Set the size of the tkinter window win.geometry("700x350") # Define the style for combobox widget style = ttk.Style() style.theme_use('xpnative') # Define a function to show/hide widget def show_widget():    label.pack() def hide_widget():    label.pack_forget()    b1.configure(text="Show", command=show_widget) # Add a label widget label = ttk.Label(win, text="Eat, Sleep, Code and Repeat", font=('Aerial 11')) label.pack(pady=30) # Add a Button widget b1 = ttk.Button(win, text="Hide", command=hide_widget) b1.pack(pady=20) win.mainloop()

Output

Running the above code will open a window that will have a Button to show/hide the widgets from the application.

Now, click the button to display/hide the label text from the window.
