How to insert text string into ttk Entry?

Question

I want to add/delete a string to ttk Entry. How? I'm new in tkinter Entry but I don't know how in ttk Entry.

This is code to insert any string in tkinter Entry:

from tkinter import *
root = Tk()

my_entry = Entry(root,font=("arial",10,"bold")).pack()
my_entry.insert(0, "GG") # Working :)

root.mainloop()

so I don't know How in the ttk Entry Help:

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk
root = tk.Tk()

my_entry = ttk.Entry(root,font=("arial",10,"bold")).pack()

my_entry.insert(0, "GG")  #Not Working :(

root.tk.mainloop()

well that has to be said in the documentation but I wont be able to help more than that as I have never worked with ttk — Matiiss, Oct 29 '20 at 09:11
Does this answer your question? [Tkinter: AttributeError: NoneType object has no attribute ](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1101750/tkinter-attributeerror-nonetype-object-has-no-attribute-attribute-name) — Kevin Mayo, Oct 29 '20 at 09:13

Change the line like this:

my_entry = ttk.Entry(root,font=("arial",10,"bold"))
my_entry.pack()

It is the wrong way to say Entry(..).pack() in python as in python x = a().b(), x will get the value returned by b() in this case pack() and pack() returns None so then my_entry becomes None, so your trying to call insert() in None, which will give you the error your facing

AttributeError: NoneType object has no attribute insert()

Final Code:

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk
root = tk.Tk()

my_entry = ttk.Entry(root,font=("arial",10,"bold"))
my_entry.pack()

my_entry.insert(0, "GG")  #Not Working :(

root.tk.mainloop()

Also keep a note, that your first and second examples in Q will give the exact same error.

@ShihabAl-den Updated the answer, with entire code, just try copy pasting the code. – Delrius Euphoria Oct 29 '20 at 09:16
This question is obviously duplicated with another question.You are an expert on tkinter.Why don't you flag it directly? – Kevin Mayo Oct 29 '20 at 09:16

@KevinMayo Yes there are almost 100s of Q on this site similar to this, but the problem is that OP might not just understand it directly, I have voted to close the Q, but an answer here so that the OP can understand what to do in their case, like you see the above comment, OP is still confused(I think). – Delrius Euphoria Oct 29 '20 at 09:17
@CoolCloud Understand. – Kevin Mayo Oct 29 '20 at 09:19

"It is not recommended…"? is an understatement. More to the point — it's simply the **wrong** way to be doing things. – martineau Oct 29 '20 at 09:54
