Underline Text in Tkinter Label widget?

Question

I am working on a project that requires me to underline some text in a Tkinter Label widget. I know that the underline method can be used, but I can only seem to get it to u

Answer 1

mylabel = Label(frame, text = "my label")
mylabel.configure(font="Verdana 15 underline")

Answer 2

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)

Answer 3

Try this for underline:

mylbl=Label(Win,text='my Label',font=('Arial',9,'bold','underline'))
mylbl.grid(column=0,row=1)

Answer 4

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:

import Tkinter as tk
import 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()

Answer 5

To underline all the characters you should import tkinter.font and make your own font style with this. Example-

from tkinter import *
from tkinter.font import Font
rt=Tk()
myfont=Font(family="Times",size=20,weight="bold", underline=1)
Label(rt,text="it is my GUI".title(),font=myfont,fg="green").pack()
rt.mainloop()

Answer 6

oneliner

mylabel = Label(frame, text = "my label", font="Verdana 15 underline")
