Tkinter Entry Not Updating

Question

from tkinter import *
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
import datetime
import os

root = Tk()
root.title("To-do List")
root.geometry("400x600")
root.resizable(width=False, height=False)
# Balance
global be
bet = settings_main_canvas.create_text(110, 165, text="Balance: ", font="Helvetica 14") # Balance Entry Text
be = Entry(root, width=20, font="Helvetica 10", borderwidth=2, bg="#f0f0f0") # Balance Entry
be.insert(0, "Amount in USD")
settings_main_canvas.create_window(170, 165, window=be, anchor=W)



# Text
global acc_name
global balance
global progress_bar_tasks
acc_name = sidebar_canvas.create_text(65, 18, text=ane.get(), font="TimesNewRoman 10 bold", anchor=NW)
balance = sidebar_canvas.create_text(65, 35, text=be.get() + "$", font="TimesNewRoman 8", anchor=NW)
progress_bar_tasks = sidebar_canvas.create_text(180, 30, text="{} / {} Complete".format(len(inbox_finished_tasks), len(inbox_tasks_num)), font="TimesNewRoman 9", anchor=NW)
root.mainloop()

I don't know why but when I print be.get() it always returns the value that I inserted, even though I changed the text in the entry

Answer 1

The reason this happens is, before you can edit the text in the entry, balance already is created and does not update constantly. So the text in balance doesn't update.
