Underline Text in Tkinter Label widget?
To underline all the text in a label widget you'll need to create a new font that has the underline attribute set to True. Here's an example:
try:
import Tkinter as tk
import tkFont
except ModuleNotFoundError: # Python 3
import tkinter as tk
import tkinter.font as tkFont
class App:
def __init__(self):
self.root = tk.Tk()
self.count = 0
l = tk.Label(text="Hello, world")
l.pack()
# clone the font, set the underline attribute,
# and assign it to our widget
f = tkFont.Font(l, l.cget("font"))
f.configure(underline = True)
l.configure(font=f)
self.root.mainloop()
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = App()
For those working on Python 3 and can't get the underline to work, here's example code to make it work.
from tkinter import font
# Create the text within a frame
pref = Label(checkFrame, text = "Select Preferences")
# Pack or use grid to place the frame
pref.grid(row = 0, sticky = W)
# font.Font instead of tkFont.Fon
f = font.Font(pref, pref.cget("font"))
f.configure(underline=True)
pref.configure(font=f)
