But have you ever wondered, how to return the list of possible results when a key is pressed? Let's see the following approach towards the same. Working of Program
  • List consisting of words is initialized.
  • Entry box and Listbox are created and are added to the root window.
  • Bind function is used for event handling. Key release event is handled for an Entry field.
  • When any key is pressed in the Entry, checkkey() function is called.
  • checkkey() function then compares the entered string with existing list keywords and populates Listbox with matching keywords.
  • Then this data is sent to update function which then updates the Listbox.
