将小部件添加到 Tkinter 颜色选择器

Question

As far as I understand, it is not possible to modify the tkinter.colorchooser.askcolor as it uses the systems colorpicker dialog. Is this true?

from the source code: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/3.9/Lib/tkinter/colorchooser.py

# this module provides an interface to the native color dialogue
# available in Tk 4.2 and newer.

The reason being is I wish to add an entry box to the dialog so that I would get the color code and user-entered text returned. Maybe it is possible to embed the dialog within a larger window? Is something like this possible, without using multiple windows?

I cannot find previous discussion anywhere else so I guess it is not a simple issue.

Yes, that is true. At least on Windows and OSX. On Linux it's a custom dialog written in tcl/tk . You could start with that code and then make modifications to it, then write a tkinter wrapper around it. That wouldn't be particularly difficult if you know tcl/tk, but it's not exactly trivial either.

No, it's not.
