Most invoke methods return whatever the corresponding command of the widget returns, but passed through Tcl. So ints and strings and a few other things are returned as is, but everything else (such as
collections.deque
) becomes strings:This doesn't apply to
tkinter.Spinbox
. I couldn't get it to return non-empty strings even by setting a custom command. The Tcl documentation doesn't mention anything about its return value, so it makes sense that it is always the empty string; it's similar toNone
as the default return value in Python.
