Creating StringVar Variables in a Loop for Tkinter Entry Widgets

Question

I have a small script that generates a random number of entry widgets. Each one needs a StringVar() so I can assign text to the widget. How can I create these as part of the loo

Answer 1

Just store them in a list.

vars = []
for i in range(height): #Rows
    for j in range(width): #Columns
        vars.append(StringVar())
        b = Entry(root, text="", width=100, textvariable=vars[-1])
        b.grid(row=i, column=j)

That said, you should probably be storing the Entry widgets themselves in a list, or a 2D list as shown:

entries = []
for i in range(height): #Rows
    entries.append([])
    for j in range(width): #Columns
        entries[i].append(Entry(root, text="", width=100))
        entries[i][j].grid(row=i, column=j)

You can then assign text to each widget with the insert() method:

entries[0][3].insert(0, 'hello')
