Grouping inputs with the LabelFrame widget

The LabelFrame class can be used to group multiple input widgets, indicating the logical entity with a label they represent. It is typically used in forms and is very similar to the Frame widget.

Getting ready

We will build a form with a couple of LabelFrame instances, each one with their corresponding child input widgets:

How to do it…

Since the purpose of this example is to show the final layout, we will add some widgets, without keeping their references as attributes:

import tkinter as tk

class App(tk.Tk):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
group_1 = tk.LabelFrame(self, padx=15, pady=10,
                               text="Personal Information")
        group_1.pack(padx=10, pady=5)

        tk.Label(group_1, text="First name").grid(row=0)
        tk.Label(group_1, text="Last name").grid(row=1)
        tk.Entry(group_1).grid(row=0, column=1, sticky=tk.W)
        tk.Entry(group_1).grid(row=1, column=1, sticky=tk.W)

        group_2...
