How to set a tkinter textbox to be in the button right of the window

March 30, 2023

I am working on a simple UI for my electronics project application, I am using tkinter as my window and want to add a text box that will be used as a logger. My screen size is the window’s initial size and I like the textbox to be at the bottom right of the window.

this is a test code that I am using to try and figure it out:

        self.window = WIN

        self.data : dict = {
            "Title" : None,
            "btns" : {}
        }

        self.window.title(title)
        self.window.geometry(f'{self.width}x{self.height}')
        self.window.configure(bg=background_color)

        T.pack()
        self.data["Title"] = text

class PrintLogger(): # create file like object
    def __init__(self, textbox): # pass reference to text widget
        self.textbox = textbox # keep ref

    def write(self, text):
