How to Hide a Widget in Tkinter

In Tkinter, you can use the pack_forget or grid_forget methods to make a widget invisible. Unlike setting the visible attribute to no, forget methods allow you to temporarily hide a widget and have it reappear later.

For example, in the following code, a button is hidden when clicked:

import tkinter as tk

def hide_me(event):
    event.widget.pack_forget()

root = tk.Tk()
btn = tk.Button(root, text="Click")
btn.bind('<Button-1>', hide_me)
btn.pack()

root.mainloop()

In this example, the pack_forget method is called when the button is clicked, removing it from its pack layout and making it invisible.

Similarly, you can use grid_forget to hide a widget in a grid layout. Simply call grid_forget() on the widget you want to hide.

Using forget methods allows for more dynamic hiding and showing of widgets in your application, as opposed to setting the visible attribute to no which permanently hides the widget.
