So as the title gives away, I wanna replace the letters of a word (That you input) to underscore ( _ ) or atleast to something different.
Now I have made a topic about this before and got some help, but I couldn't figure out how to apply it to my code. So with his help and we both agreed it would be best if I made a new topic and also translated my code (Originally I am Dutch so) for better clarity.
So in the section "class ChooseMain(tk.Frame):" I have a user input a word that will be the word to guess.
The code in question for the input is:
self.woordEntry = tk.Entry(self, textvariable=self.controller.shared_data["chosenWord"])Which in turn is sent to the next class called "ChosenMain" through this code:
btnContinue = tk.Button(self, text="Continue", command=lambda: controller.show_frame("ChosenMain"))Now in the next class ("ChosenMain" in this case) it will show 3 things. 1 is word that was inputted on the previous screen and 2 buttons.
The word that was put in is displayed like this:
wordLabel = tk.Label(self, textvariable=self.controller.shared_data["chosenWord"], font=("futura"))wordLabel.pack(side="top")Now this shows the word that was input as normal but obviously I don't want to show it as normal, preferably as _ _ _ _ or something similar. And that is where I am stuck.
Now as mentioned I did get help before this which was here: Trying to replace label text to underscore for a game of hangman
As mentioned there, I tried the solutions posted there but I just couldn't get the wordLabel section to be changed to _ or * or anything really.
I'll post my full code below this, and I hope I didn't forget to translate something. Again if there is more information required or whatever. Feel free to comment here or message me and I will try my best to help!
