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()

Answer 1

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.
