How to Get the Tkinter Label Text?

In Tkinter, to get the text from a Label widget, you can use the cget method or the StringVar method. Let's take a look at both approaches:

1. Using cget method:

Here's a simple example:

import tkinter as tk def print_label_text(): print(label.cget("text")) root = tk.Tk() label = tk.Label(root, text="This is a label") label.pack() btn = tk.Button(root, text="Print Label Text", command=print_label_text) btn.pack() root.mainloop()

When the button is pressed, it prints the text of the label using the cget method.

2. Using StringVar:

The StringVar method is more flexible and allows two-way binding (i.e., updating the GUI when the variable changes and vice versa).

import tkinter as tk def print_label_text(): print(text_var.get()) root = tk.Tk() text_var = tk.StringVar() text_var.set("This is a label") label = tk.Label(root, textvariable=text_var) label.pack() btn = tk.Button(root, text="Print Label Text", command=print_label_text) btn.pack() root.mainloop()

Here, the label's text is bound to a StringVar. When the button is pressed, it prints the value of the StringVar which, in this case, is the label's text.

You can choose the approach that best fits your needs. If you just want to retrieve the text and don't plan to update the label dynamically, the cget method is simpler. If you need dynamic updates, StringVar is more powerful.
