Hi Alex, Note the following line:
self.newlab=Entry(root,state=DISABLED).grid(column=4,row=9) What is assigned to self.newlab is the result of the call to the grid function, which is 'None'. What you need to do is: self.newlab=Entry(root,state=DISABLED) self.newlab.grid(column=4,row=9) ...and then your code should work. See demo code below: #========================= from Tkinter import * tk = Tk() class tmp: def __init__(self, root): self.newlab=Entry(root,state=DISABLED) self.newlab.grid(column=4,row=9) self.PopSize=IntVar() self.PopSize.set(7) def pop2pop(self,event): newpop=IntVar() newpop.set(self.PopSize.get()) self.newlab['textvariable']=newpop t=tmp(tk) t.pop2pop(1) tk.mainloop() #+++++++++++++++++++++ On Sun, Oct 31, 2010 at 7:57 AM, Alex Ter-Sarkissov <sigma.z.1...@gmail.com> wrote: > hi, here's my situation: > > I create an Entry outside of a certai function: > > self.newlab=Entry(root,state=DISABLED).grid(column=4,row=9) > > the function acquires a value (from another Entry) and puts this value into > the Entry created in the command above.
